First, we find a common photography knowledge ground and lay down a good photography foundation.

We take a dive into the world of focusing. We also practice different scenarios and ways to achieve sharp images and for really brave ones - take a look at how to check if our camera autofocus needs some adjustments.

In the last module of photography course for beginners, we finish with a core component of photography - post-production.
We disperse potential prejudices, and find out there is (almost) nothing new in digital postproduction in comparison to "the old times". It just got MUCH EASIER and wildly available.
We go through good practices for post-production and get familiar with the editing program of choice. My recommendation is Capture One, but you can use anything you wish.

Teaching what I have learned through years as professional photographer is my passion.
Travel photography is arguably the most diverse photography genre. It borrows techniques from all other fields and then you elevate the difficulty with storytelling aspect of travel photography itself.
