Hello,

I’m a beginner in photography and was looking at online course to improve faster than all by myself.

Few months ago I discovered Pierre T Lambert youtube channel and saw that he is doing an online photo course. Does someone followed it? How is it? It’s expensive (a little more than 300€ during black friday, so basicly a prime lens for my camera) but I could join it if I would improve a lot faster.

I mostly want to improve my eye then the technical aspect.I also want to learn about editing with Darktable. I’m aware that he use Lightroom in his course but I am a free software guy and run Linux everywhere, so I must learn how to edit with Darktable.

I’m French by the way, and this is why I would follow his French course. I could follow another one in English but prefer in French.

    It’s in english, but there’s the r/photoclass that’s going to be starting in just over a month. It’s free, well planned out, and there’s a number of mentors that will be helping to give more personalized feedback than you generally get with a shorter course. There’s also the benefit of being a full year, so it’s not trying to condense everything down to the bare minimum (or leaving it out entirely) just to fit it in the course.

    While I haven’t taken Pierre’s course, most of the “learn photography in one month!” courses just throw the same basics out there that you can already find for free on youtube or learn just by practicing. They’re too condensed to really teach much, and even when they manage to cover the basics it’s not the most in-depth or practical way to learn. There’s just too much in photography that relies on practicing consistently to internalize to really learn in just a month.

      Thank you, I’ll join r/photoclass

      I agree the process will be more enjoyable during a full year if I can stick with it!
