WHY DO STUDENTS LOVE TO LEARN PHOTOS?
- Musthave
First, it's just trendy. Do you want to be in the mainstream: make an author's photo album on social networks, arrange an impromptu photo session for your friends, or at least be interested in photography. And if all these points are supported by photographic knowledge and good practice, then you will definitely not lag behind your peers and you will always be “in the subject”. Our photo club for children will help with this.
- Declare yourself
Secondly, photography is a modern way of expressing oneself. The teacher Vera Kazakova claims that she rarely meets the guys who are interested in the children's school of photography just because it is fashionable. To open up, to prove yourself - this is the goal of the majority.
In addition, according to Vera, teaching for children is much more interesting than for adults. But at the same time it is more complicated. “It is important to help the child open up, find a special approach and make it clear that criticism of photographs is just a desire to improve his skills, to make it so that next time it will be better”, - says the teacher of the children's photo school.
- First income
And, finally, thirdly, the ability to photograph often brings schoolchildren and their first income. After completing the course, many make studio photo sessions for friends. You can also be a photojournalist: capture a regional table tennis competition or a concert of your beloved musical group... True, in this case, you will need a desire to work hard and agility in finding a part-time job.
So, knowing why it is so important for schoolchildren to be able to photograph, we have tried to make children's photography school interesting and, most importantly, accessible! After all, photography is a multifaceted hobby: it develops both creative and technical skills, fosters a sense of one's own taste, allows you to touch art and express yourself. This is what we teach the guys at Profotik! Our teachers help to understand the physics of the process and reveal the abilities of each student. Moreover, the classes are taught not only by talented photographers, but also by experienced educational psychologists Victoria Nazarova and Vera Kazakova.
Of course, a photo school for children differs from courses for adults also in price. We tried to make the photo circle for children accessible and interesting. In return, from our students, sometimes we receive not only vivid photographs, but also surprises. For example, this summer the guys left us a message, in which they thanked us for the intense classes at Profotik.
