Teaches

photography from 2013, in 2017 became the leading teacher of our school.

Several words of feedback from our community of more than 3000 students.

Daria Shcherbakova

Took the comprehensive photography course.

Learning by playing - that was my general impression. I liked that everyone was given attention. (Teachers) explained, chewed, taught, amused. Thank you so much! Everything was so fun, useful and memorable!

Vladimir Tutkevich

Took the comprehensive photography course, "All about portrait", "Shooting in Studio", "Flash".

The quality of lessons far exceeded my expectations. The information density is very high - the teacher is clearly trying to convey everything that he knows. No common places and philosophical digressions, very generous lessons. I finally felt the mystery of the interaction between the shutter speed, aperture and ISO with my spinal cord.

Anna Ivanova

Took the basic photography course.

The course gave me an opportunity to look at the shooting process in a completely different way. For me every topic was new, because before I did not know even a small fraction of what I know now. Taking pictures has become more interesting, but at the same time much more difficult, because every detail is important. It is unfortunate that time passed so quickly. The warm and cozy atmosphere of our school will be missed.

Veronika Almazova

Took the basic photography course.

I really enjoyed the basic course. I wish to settle in the studio and attend all other courses. I learned a lot. I will master my skills further on. It is great that you can send everything to VKontakte and discuss how everyone is progressing. I would like to devote more time to aperture, shutter speed and EV.

Roman Kananykhin

Completed 5 courses at our school.

Good presentation of theory and practice. Each tool is discussed and studied in detail. After the course, knowledge becomes skills and one can freely work. I recommend the course to every new photo artist.

Lyudmila Yukhina

Took 7 courses at our school.

An easy explanation of the most important principles of photographic art, an individual approach to each student, an opportunity to practice immediately after the theory is presented - all this waits for you at the school. You will solve all your problems with getting the image right. Our entire group went to classes with great pleasure! Thank you very much! :)

Anna Bogolyubova

Took the basic photography course.

In a friendly community of classmates and an experienced teacher, I learned everything about the buttons on my camera and almost all the settings, I no longer feel any technical limitation, I learned to make the best quality shots under different conditions; I tried various styles and found the one that is close to me. I consider going to the course one of the best events in the creative sphere of my life. Thanks!

Ilya Nikolaenko

Took 6 courses at our school.

I liked it all very much. All information is very well presented in portions. The course is very vivid to my impression, I want to move on and discover new fields.

Irina Dreyer

Took the comprehensive photography course.

My world has been turned upside down! Thank you very much for the competent presentation of information, everything was clear and understandable. I discovered composition from another perspective, received a lot of knowledge, which now should take time to be processed in my head. So there’s no time to write - it’s time to photograph! :)

Olga Chernikova

Took the comprehensive photography course.

Very warm atmosphere. Despite the fact that there were students of different ages in the group, we had a very good company. I was always looking forward to the next lesson. The atmosphere at the classes was relaxed, it was very interesting and fun in general!

Julia Titkova

Took the comprehensive photography course.

My friends! I am delighted!!! The atmosphere at the course is so positive, accompanied by delicious and fragrant tea. Every week we had amazing practices. If you want to attend classes with pleasure, look forward to the next session, dive into the magical world of art - do not even hesitate, come to HSP and you will not regret it. I'm already waiting for the next course. Kisses! )))

Maria Sergeeva

Took the comprehensive photography course.

Very warm and friendly atmosphere. Classes are conducted in the positive key. So there was no fear that the question you asked may seem silly or ridiculous. Also, it is very valuable when the constructive criticism you hear makes you take more and more pictures and try to correct your mistakes.
