The photo school covers several tracks: general photography courses for beginners — online and in person, a dedicated virtual tour shooting course for anyone who wants to shoot panoramas professionally, and a quick course for real estate agents — shooting panoramas on a smartphone, no camera required.
The photo school is built for beginners who want to master a DSLR camera and the fundamentals of photography. Lessons run in a group or one-on-one, at home or online. The course is 10 lessons, 2 hours each. Private lessons are more effective, since the program is tailored to your own camera and the areas that interest you, rather than a standard group curriculum.
A DSLR camera doesn't automatically take better photos on its own — it just gives you more capabilities, which you need to know how to use. The difference between a shot "on auto" and a shot taken with a real understanding of your gear is visible even without any Photoshop work.
Learn the basics of photography, Capture One editing, and how to work with your own camera.
