FAQ:
-
Do i need a professional camera to attend this workshop?
No need to have a professional camera to attend.
Of course, this means you won't be able to try all
the techniques we will be talking about, but still,
you can learn everything we will be talking about
and you might decide to get a new camera if you
find yourself really interested and want to take
your skills to the next level.
-
Will I get a certificate?
Well, not really a certificate. For the people that
will attend all four workshops, you will receive
a paper stating that you've attended a workshop
that covered these topics of photography.
