A 4-week basic photography course in Amsterdam for beginners who want to go from Auto to manual mode. You learn aperture, shutter speed, ISO, composition and light in a private studio and along the canals. I teach it in English. The price is €650 per person excl. VAT.
Book together and save 10%: two or more people booking the same date pay €585 each excl. VAT. The discount is applied automatically in the calendar.
