ADAM TAN PHOTOGRAPHY ACADEMY

From Basic to Fine Art

In my 24 years of pursuing photography, the journey to reach proficiency was rather long and challenging. I believe if I were to meet a good mentor earlier on in this journey, my goal to achieve mastery in this art form might be much shorter and easier.

On the other hand I am thankful for this hard way to success as the lessons I picked up through trials & errors have made me a better teacher.  My teaching is tailored to the needs of the students, it is unique and easy to understand.

All my tutorials are designed to make learning a breeze and a pleasure. My philosophy in teaching is simple, the mantra is: “simplicity, practice, joy, creativity”. That is, I seek to simplify the complicated, set up more practices, create delightful learning atmosphere, facilitate easy comprehension and transform technique into creative art.

One of the biggest gain from this course was shifting my habit from taking pictures in auto mode to “semi manual “ ; by using the power of shutter and aperture in manual mode gives me the satisfaction and allow creative decisions that were not available to me before! I truly enjoyed the fun and interactive learning process . Thanks to our professional coach Adam n Vitas .
