Contents of the Basic Photography Course
During the basic photography course, you will be introduced to the principles of photography. This is the starting point if you want to learn more about photography. But also the first step towards a career as a professional photographer.
The course consists of five days of lessons. You will be introduced to:
- apertures,
- ISO value,
- shutter speeds,
- depth of field,
- focal lengths,
- effect of the flash and
- the operation of your camera.
During this photography course you will learn to master the basic techniques. But it does not stop at expanding your technical knowledge! Photography is looking and seeing, playing with light and shapes. The course is also intended to develop your sense of image, improve your sense of composition and to learn from the work of other photographers.
You will be introduced to various genres in photography such as:
- portrait photography,
- landscape photography and
- reportage photography.
Can you successfully complete the Basic Photography Course? Then you will receive a certificate and you can continue to the Professional Photography Course.
The Professional Photography Course in English will start in 2026.

After the Photography course I had gained enough knowledge and I was ready to make my dream come true: my own company in photography
Too bad I’m done with the courese, I’m going to miss the days at school.
My real development as a photographer came through direct contact with my teachers, thanks to their lessons, coaching and feedback

Ready to become a professional photographer?
Photography is more than just taking a picture. Photography is communicating with images. A good photo tells a story or conveys a message. During our Professional Photography Course, you will learn more about image communication and how to apply it. You will also learn how to use photo editing programs such as Photoshop and Lightroom. Your technical knowledge and skills will grow to a professional level.
