In the manner of a language course, this introductory photography course will teach you first and foremost to communicate with your device. Our goal is that when you have a photo idea in mind, you can get it by clearly "explaining" to your camera what you want from it. To do this, the photo course focuses exclusively on learning by doing. It takes place entirely outdoors, device in the hand. By going back and forth between theory, practice and immediate feedback of results by your PhotoProf (our photographers-trainers), you will be autonomous after only 4 hours. You will then be able to manipulate the 3 main parameters of each shooting which are the aperture of the diaphragm, the speed of shutter and the sensitivity of the sensor; settings to use regardless of the type of photos you want to make (portraits, landscapes, moving or still subjects etc ...).

Very complete course with an important (but indispensable) theoretical part well brought by the trainer who adapted to the level of each participant (beginner for me) and knew how to make his explanations clear thanks to many concrete examples.
First course with basic settings, which I discovered for some. Very interesting and informative for novices. Aurélie is very friendly and professional listening to "her" students! Thank you!
Mathias is a great teacher, passionate! It makes things very affordable, and we leave this course knowing how to do a lot of things! I learned a lot:) I did this course a few days before going on a safari, so I was able to practice immediately and the result is great. Thank you Mathias, I recommend!
First perfect course for those who want to learn the basics, better understand its device and start a quality work. Listening trainer, who adapts to our cameras and shows us in stages the effects of different settings on our photos. I'll be back for the next class
Excellent teaching from Rémy. Very nice course with practical exercises and rich time for exchange. Thank you!
A very informative course, a top trainer = a very good time. We had a first technical approach followed directly by a practice.
friendly and efficient: very good course a paper course material during the course would have been practical. Prof very available and complete in his explanations (do not hesitate to repeat if necessary)
Pretty disappointed with the teacher's pedagogy in Nice: it is written to come with the camera we have and for the moment I have a G7 III power shot cannon and I thought that for a beginner course it was good to learn. Only there, the teacher's reflection on my material was that with this camera I don't make pictures. Start of the course: the teacher takes us out his material and explains what he has: I don't see the point: maybe do it more at the end if there is demand from the participants. He shows us a lot of his pictures to him and the pictures he makes during our session. He talks about his training, what he's doing. Anyway, I have to admit, I almost left after an hour. I left after three hours. I learned TV and AV on my Canon which does not make pictures. I was bored for three hours listening to the performances of a professional about his life, his many trips and at the end of the course I wondered what I had learned: not much. I will see with future courses taken elsewhere: maybe it's the same technique and it will make me an element of comparison.
Very informative course with a very attentive trainer, nice and pedagogue A superb moment in the heart of Nancy I continue the adventure with level 2
I enjoyed listening to him and the course was very interesting and informative. a passionate and communicative teacher in his passion! What better way to learn and learn this art!!!
