Practical Photography Classes for Beginners with Weekly Field Training, Videography, Editing & Retouching
Have you always wanted to learn photography but don’t know where to start?
Maybe you recently bought a camera but are still using Auto Mode. Maybe you enjoy taking photographs but want to properly understand aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focus, composition and lighting. Or perhaps you want to learn photography and videography as a skill that can eventually help you build a career.
If that’s you, Photo Life Nepal is starting a 25-Day Basic Photography & Videography Course for Complete Beginners.
This course is designed for beginners who want to learn photography from the ground up, gain practical experience, understand how to use a camera, and learn the basics of videography, photo editing and retouching.
The course combines classroom learning with weekly practical field sessions, so you can learn the theory and then actually use it with a camera.
📸 25 Days to Build Your Photography Skills
Photography is something you learn by doing.
You can watch hundreds of photography tutorials, but real learning begins when you pick up a camera, change the settings, look for light, compose a subject and take the photograph yourself.
That’s why Photo Life Nepal has designed this course around both classroom learning and practical experience.
During the 25-day course, there will be one field practical session every week. The other days will focus on photography theory, camera operation, videography, editing and retouching.
You won’t just learn what a camera button does — you’ll learn why and when to use it.
