Participants in the course will gradually lead not only to an understanding of the functions of photographic methods, but also to an understanding of the logic of photographic visualization. Gradually, all the main genres from country to action will be held at both levels. A positive approach is to give participants an emphasis on photography, to enjoy photography and to ensure the right confidence in their own work. The head teacher of the courses combines both the practice of a photographer and photographers who do not offer any other courses.

Collective lessons can be combined with an individual approach to managing photographic methods. The vast majority of lessons consists of three main parts: the presentation of voluntary homework given in the previous lesson, “Photographic Technique and Digital Control”, “Creative Theme” with the projection of images on your own inspiration. The creation and evaluation of these tasks contributes to mutual competition and at the same time reduces technical and compositional errors.
