Overview
PhotoProf has been organizing photography courses in Paris for almost 10 years. Tested on more than 30,000 students, our teaching method is based on an immediate application of the techniques taught.
Also, all our courses take place in the field, in real conditions (except studio courses and photo retouching), in order to favor practice, discussions and experiments, specific to errors and constructive questions.
PhotoProf courses are supervised by qualified photographers, it is true, but this is not what represents their greatest quality. Beyond their technical skills, what will allow you to progress (and have a good time in their company) is truly their passion, their listening skills, their desire to share their know-how and especially their benevolence.
So what are you waiting for to test the PhotoProf method?
