Impressions from the Pentecost photography course
Every time I teach a photography course for beginners, I'm fascinated by how quickly the participants progress. Some people, some of whom have never consciously heard terms like "aperture," "shutter speed," and "focal length" before, or who have never dealt with light and image editing, have already mastered the basics of conscious photography after three days. This means not just randomly shooting, but consciously composing the image, deliberately directing light and exposure—even over- or underexposing occasionally, and sensibly saving and editing images on the computer. It's always an experience for me. And a boost for the participants. Here's some feedback from the participants of the Whitsun photography course:
"With his passion for photography and his love of images, Peter encouraged me in my quest to delve deeply into the diverse parameters of the camera. The days we spent together were educational, exciting, challenging, and humorous... – Thank you!" (Brigitte)
"Peter is a very good teacher and motivator. He empowered me by letting me delve into the secrets of photography. His enthusiasm for the image, in whatever form, is contagious." (Elisabeth)
"The three-day photography course with Peter Schäublin was an amazing experience for me. I had never held a camera before, but with a lot of patience and expertise, Peter managed to not only teach me the technical basics but also awaken my love of photography. I came as a beginner – and left with a completely new perspective on the world. Thank you, Peter, for this inspiring journey of photography!" (Sejla)
Small groups guarantee individual attention.
