Who should learn photography?
Photography is a part of human life. There is barely any household without a camera. And it is hard to find an adult who never used any camera. Yet, irrespective of our profession and knowledge, our knowledge about photography is quite vague and full of misconceptions. One can't master the art of photography just by attending a short weekend course. However, learning and applying the basic knowledge and techniques to meet our everyday life photography need, a short and systematic approach for few weeks can do a great help.

Why should I learn photography?
Photography is about the special moments of our life, it talks about us, it talks about our life style, culture and more. We can't always take a photographer with us for special occassion, parties or those once-in-life travel trips. If you understand the basic priniciples of photography, you don't need to blame your camera and always be taking consistently good photos. You will be surprised to know things were so much easy and simple and your existing camera sitting in your closet has so much capabilities. It will also help you finding out what kind of photographic need you have and find a suiatable camera appropriate for your individual need.

Is there any prior knowledge required?
There is no prior knowledge required to learn photography. Students above high scool level and any adult can successfully take the course and learn a lot of things do improve their photography skills.

Is this just a beginners course?

After the course you need to practise a lot following the tips and techniques, critique your own photos, find out what went wrong in a photograph, correct your mistakes. How much you can use will depend on your interest and patience with the subject.
