What to expect . . .

Photography by Design is an english-speaking photography course open to all photographic levels. It focuses less on the technical and more on the creative side of photography. 

Come with your DSLR, point and shoot, iPhone, iPad, whatever you have that takes image. 

Whatever your reason, your motivation, Photography By Design will fill your needs. This course offers interesting, creative and fun lessons while walking and discovering Paris. 

Each lesson consists of three parts 

• A topic - A new photo technique or subject to be discussed and practiced during the class
  
• A location - a new themed walk or a location to visit 
  
• A challenge - designed to help you think outside the box, stretch your creativity and develop you photographic eye
  

This course is built on the principal of Active learning rather than Passive learning. 

• Passive learning is the traditional sit in a class, take notes, and be tested on what you remember.
• Active learning is just the opposite, it's about trial and error, deductive and investigative learning.
  

Studies show that active learning has a higher success rate of actually acquiring long term skills and results. Where as Passive learning is best for short term results, like an upcoming test. 

Photography by Design is about getting out into the world and learning photographic skills actively, by dealing with on the fly, unexpected, real world challenges. 

Learning by doing is how photography is absorbed; before you learn about technique, gear, theory - anything - this is where all great photographers start. Taking photos and analysing them; this is how you’ll discover your style and your voice. 

A photograph is worth a thousand words; so what do you have to say?
