Official and unofficial photography schools

As you can see, I don't teach official photography courses in a school, but in my 10 years as a street photography teacher I have noticed the following: photographers and travellers often learn and get more enthusiasm from street photography with good assistance than in classical photography schools.

Perhaps the best way for a photographer to improve is to combine the following elements.

✔ Training in schools.

✔ Personalised tutoring.

✔ Storytelling classes to understand your own portfolio.

✔ Reading books.

✔ Attending lectures, exhibitions.

✔ Participation in photo tours or photo walks in different destinations with different teachers.
