Advantages of a better photo course for beginners

What makes this beginner photography course better than others? Why should you choose it as a beginner in photography? There are many reasons. As a trainer, I would like to offer you a better course than a group course. Many of my photography students come to me and tell me about group courses in which they didn't learn much. I think that's a great pity.

I have been thinking about the reasons for the lack of success of group courses. Of course, not every photographer is a good photo trainer. On the other hand, no trainer in a group course can be more specific to you personally, nor to your particular camera. There are always many different cameras in a group course. But that won't get you anywhere. I teach you photography much better:

  1. Individual photo course advantage!You are the only participant of the photo course (Exception: couples course or course for two friends / relatives). You will receive a course tailored to your coordinated Photo training. Get answers to your questions Your answers. This makes the course really intensive and you learn an incredible amount in a short space of time.
  2. Let me explain Your digital camera (or your smartphone).
  3. You choose the Course date with me as your trainer.
  4. I, Peter Roskothen, am your photo trainer. As a professional photographer and photojournalist, you will receive beginner photographers valuable Tips from professional experienceto Beginner's mistake to be avoided.
  5. I will advise you on your Photographic equipment.
  6. Theory and the own photo excursion make the success.
