A wide range of photo styles
This is a course normally lasting 3.5 hours, ideally aimed at people with little or no photography experience wishing to use an SLR or hybrid camera when traveling. It can also be aimed at people using smaller devices, such as smartphones (e.g.: iPhone), in order to obtain tips for taking better photos and avoiding certain common mistakes.
However, due to the pandemic, the course will be in a "compact" version of 2h30 in Zoom for 2021 with a reduced rate for this cause.
In the face-to-face course, a complete notebook with supplements is given to each participant and a snack is included for the break, with refreshments on site. For the virtual version of the course, the notebook is digital and is also given to everyone with supplements. This workshop is offered by Mélissa Vincelli (professional photographer).

As a bonus, participants will be able to send one of their photos which will be retouched live during the workshop (selection of a few photos)! A digital notebook with supplements will be sent to everyone.
