Know how to use that DSLR of yours? Want to buy one but fear not knowing how to use it? Then you've found the right place -- the only regular source of photo classes in Korea, taught by one of the most experienced working photographers in Korea, the Metropolitician -- owner of this site.
Most popular are the Basic Photo I class, where you learn how to operate your camera and the basics of proper exposure over a 4-week period, 3 hours per session. Next in popularity is the Basic Photo II class, which continues from a Basic Photo I by placing the students in more peculiar and challenging photographic situations that allow for the photo knowledge learned in the first session to settle in more, to lock itself in. We also have had a lot of interest in the "Photoshop for Photographers" class, which will also be offered next month.
Basically, if you are interested, each class costs 175,000 won, with the Basic Photo I class being offered 10-1 on Saturdays OR a weekday to be determined. The Photoshop class will likely be on a Sunday early afternoon from 2PM.
To guarantee a spot in either a weekday or Saturday Basic Photo I class, get in touch directly to get instructions as to paying and reserving your spot. If you can make Photoshop classes on Sunday, please also drop a line for more info on paying and getting your spot.
