Hi all,

I have been wanting to take a photography class for what seems like forever. Anyway, I have been in touch with Vincent Sung and he is currently offering the following classes (see below).

However, the problem for me is that I work evenings and cannot make the times offered (Tuesdays and Wednesday 7-9pm). I am interested in the Level 1 class.

So, Vincent has indicated the he will offer a Level 1 class in the mornings from 10am -12pm on ANY weekday if he is able to secure 3-4 students. Therefore, this is my call out/plea to anyone who would be interested. Since it would be such a small group, I am sure the lessons could be tailored to your experience/expectations.

We can decide which morning is best, a decision just needs to be made ASAP as the night classes start this week. And Vincent will not be available in January.

All the info is below.

Please let me know if you are interested via posting or private message.

- some classes will be held outside of the confinement of the class room in order to get more on hand practice and encourage students to take photographs and actually practice what they learned

- attendance and networking at art - photography related events will be included into the body of the class (to add a more casual mood)

The class will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about professional photography and to practice photography with a professional. You can get to know new friends who share the same passion/hobby and experience shootings in a 'real professional' photo studio (and maybe bring home your own portrait). There will also be a field trip/workshop during the weekend to a nice area where the participants can practice what they have learned during a month (after completion of the whole LEVEL 1 or LEVEL 2)

This is why I hate being so far from Seoul. I just bought a Canon XTi before I left Canada, and I want to learn to use it properly....

Anyone know any classes in and around the Gunsan area? lol....prob not

This is perhaps the only reason I can think of for wishing I was working at a hagwon in Seoul.

I would love to take a photography class. If anyone knows of any in the evenings in Gwangju, let me know!!


(Yeah, I know... I won't hold my breath...)

[Darkness]

I was hoping to find something on a sat in Gunsan, or Jeonju, but I think I have a better chance of my hogwan saying "good job, we'll just pay for the rest of your year and you can go home now..."

[jinju]

Ive seen this. Most of it is geared towards fashion photography so if you want to be a fashion photo and shoot in a studio, it might be worth the money.
