What Is a Workshop?

Workshop refers to a place in which the photographers learn the theoretical and practical techniques of photography in location.

Since natural photography enjoys vast popularity among photographers, it is considered as one of the most important branches of photography; learning and taking pictures in this field is a most enjoyable experience.

It is not with the use of theory alone that a natural photographer can master the field, because nothing is absolutely predictable in nature and the photographer would not be able to change the position of light or other elements of nature; so it is only the photographer, whom by using his mastery and experience, can choose the best light and composition according to the shape and form of nature.

Learning workshops give you the opportunity to understand related elements of nature, the compositions and the use of light by the help of experienced experts- other than the joy of it and of course finding friends! Morteza Safataj shares his information with other photographers in these workshops The workshops are the best means to learning, because the photographer sees him/herself in real situations and learns to shoot pictures in actual life scenes.

Morteza supervises on the trainees personally in these workshops and help trainees with the different compositions, the different lights and their effects on the subject, finding the appropriate shutter speed and aperture, and post processing. There will also be discussions on the techniques and instruments.

After the workshop, trainees are welcome to ask their questions online and also to articipate in "The Best Photo of The Workshop" competition.
(The winner will have 70% discount for the next workshop.)
