What will you learn
Since we get students from a lot of different fields we always start our tutorials with the basic photography information, which even if you are a professional photographer always helps to review these basic but fundamental facts.
​
From there the tutorials are directed to underwater photography. The same applies to this; we start from the basic theory as a group and then move on as fast as the student wants to.
If we have more advanced students we can separate the groups in case some people are moving faster than others so that everyone can get the most out of this experience.
​
A vital step in our courses is that after each photo session we all get together and analyze the work from that day, from a professional opinion. This way we see the things we are getting better at and also what we can improve on.
​
Several editing and workflow tutorials will also take place during the month to teach the students all the tools that Lightroom has to offer underwater photographers.
