Where to Go for a Camera Workshop / Class? I say FPPF!

I have received a comment from one of my visitor namely “destopo” who asks me a question about where to find a “camera workshop or class”. All I can say ‘destopo’ is that we are on the same situation. I myself have not taken any form of workshop, seminar or class with regards to photography. Now if you want to learn the basics no matter what camera you have then I may have an answer.

I recently joined a photoclub called IMAHE. A friend, Mr. Jon Carlos told me about getting a thing or two about “BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY”. And he being around in the business for some time recommends the “Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation, Inc.” (FPPF) workshops which according to him was the best. By the way, if this helps, I will enroll myself there this coming April since classes had already started. I think the schedule is a choice between a Saturday or Sunday.

Anyway you can check out the website on their workshop page for more info.

Their website is called “PHOTOWORLDMANILA”.

PhotoWorldManila.com is the official website of the Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation, Inc (FPPF), a non-stock, non-profit organization that fosters cooperation among photography associations in the country. It is also the premiere site for photography workshops in the Philippines.

Now about their workshop. I have taken the following contents from their website which I have given above. credits to them.

This ends my post. Hope that it helps!

Basic Before Advanced

Workshop participants are strongly advised to attend the Basic workshop before the Advanced, even if you do not consider yourself a neophyte. A few students who skipped ahead to the Advanced workshop found themselves awash in unfamiliar terms and concepts, and had to start over in the Basic workshop.
