Ycademy Digital Photography Seminar I

This week-end the Ycademy Digital Photography Seminar Volume I will take place, as usual online in our Live Meeting Conferencing.

Please find here below the Agenda.

Registered Participants are advised personally and receive by email the download links for the materials needed.

This is as usual a smashing pack of literature, software and utilities.

I am looking forward to a great and fruitful Seminar with smashing results for all participants. The advantage belongs to those who have participated in our pre-seminar calls and taken some fair advantage; however we will start with very basics for the benefit of all participants and to fill in also all those who work with recordings.

Step by step we will evolve on the path of success – together we are unbeatable!

The seminar addresses beginners to advanced photographers; in fact it is for ordinary people who want to achieve extraordinary results with their ordinary camera. There is no need for advanced knowledge or professional material. The seminar will step by step introduce to digital photography and cover a simple workflow from shooting to publishing. While doing so we will make some escapades into advanced editing and publishing fields.
