The recession is the perfect time for education.. and since I’ve already been conducting workshops, I might as well conduct regular classes for photography.

I’ve just started a Facebook Page for Photography Classes. Please add yourself there if you’re keen on the classes.

Each class is 3 hrs each, once per week.

  • Pallavi Subbanna

    Hello Willy Foo

    I am so happy and feel motivated by seeing your works. I was keen to know when do the classes start, I mean the dates? Currently I am pursuing my masters education and will end up my September. I love clicking pictures and wanted to learn more about camera to get a better focus. And do you think 4 – 8 classes is enough for a beginner to learn and adapt so much. What are the things needed to become a good photographer? I am sorry to ask you silly questions, I was keen to know them. I am cofident you are a correct person to answer and guide me forward.

    Regards
    Pallavi Subbanna
