I propose a 1 or 2 days workshop about the basics of photography, which covers the technical aspect, but also the artistic and philosophical one. A photographer is not only someone who masters a camera, he or she is essentially an "eye", a human being capable of transmiting something using the technical aspect... and beyond it.

The aim of this workshop is to allow amateurs and lovers of photography to discover their own potential and the possibilities of their camera.... and thus to begin using it.

This workshop can be given in Israel (where I live)... or anywhere in the world. The number of participants can be set at a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 20 (in Israel) or 35 abroad (to compensate for the price of the transportation).

The workshop can be given in English, French, Spanish or Hebrew.

There is only one requirement: to have a DSRL camera (Digital Reflex) ... and to bring it to the workshop.

For further information, please send me a mail using the contact page on this web.
