Photography Mentorship Program


We have a broad range of Photography Courses. For those who have just picked up a camera and are interested in learning Camera Craft Course or Basic Photography Course, we highly recommend the Essential Foundation Photography Course.

If you understand your camera operation inside out and are very sure you have good knowledge and confidence in shooting in fully manual mode, understand the Exposure Triangle (ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed), and how light meter reading work, then you may skip and jump right into the Intermediate Courses. Here you will learn the advanced Spot Metering Reading, the art of Photography Composition, and Night Photography.

You can participate in our Advanced Courses if you are advanced learners who are fully capable in the above mentioned-outlines. Creative Flash Photography Course is a very good start because camera flash is the next photography equipment you would invest beside tripod and lenses. The external Camera Flash has been underestimated by a lot of people, you will be amazed by what you can do with it once you are taught about how professional photographers use lights.

If you don’t find anything that you are looking for or are unsure about what you need,  contact us and we will help you with assessing your photography level.
