Choosing photography courses is not always easy.
Many students, eager to expand their photographic knowledge, approach numerous courses and Italian photography schools, often failing to receive concrete and interesting proposals that meet their needs.
But who is a photographer? They are the ones who rework the contemporary reality and saturated messages through the photographic medium. They consciously blend technical precision, cultural background, and personal sensitivity through a unique interpretation of light, shadows, and colors. Only through proper professional training can one develop a comprehensive understanding of photographic equipment and their usage. This way, they can become masters of the tools rather than slaves, learning to control them and using them to capture their own vision of reality.
This is the philosophy of EffeDue photography courses, preparing individuals for the world of photography through the study of technique, material handling, digital file processing (including post-production using appropriate software), history, and photographic styles. This allows students to work in various sectors such as advertising photography, event photography, reportage, still life, and more.
EffeDue offers various courses that cater to specific needs. The majority of courses are held in the afternoon and evening, two to three times a week. This schedule ensures continuous learning, avoiding long gaps between lessons that often lead to unnecessary distractions. The courses take place at the photographic studio of Fabio Savagnone, the instructor of the courses, primarily focused on advertising photography. The studio is equipped with ample space and specific technical equipment, allowing students to immerse themselves in the world of professional photography and its tools: from cameras to studio lights, all the way to black and white printing and the study of ancient techniques, fully experiencing photography in its environment.
Finally, the courses are targeted and cover various photography sectors and specializations. The studio offers courses for amateurs at both Level I and Level II, as well as specialization courses such as still life, portraiture, reportage, and post-production of raw files.
The goal of EffeDue photography courses is to create students who, equipped with excellent knowledge of the tools, can broaden their cultural horizons and photograph with awareness and consciousness. Only through this approach can one enter the world of photography with a strong foundation.
As the renowned American photographer Paul Strand said, "The way you photograph witnesses your way of living, for those who truly know how to live. You can observe how others do it and be influenced by their way, you can even use it to find your own, but the time will come when you have to free yourself.".
