Designed For

Photography beginners and enthusiasts.

Are you passionate about photography?

Do you want to learn how to take & edit beautiful images with your phone or camera?

Maybe your love for photography made you start learning from the internet.

You’re always watching tutorial videos but when you try to do what they do, your pictures don’t look so good.

At this point, you might get frustrated and you’re wondering why you can’t just do what they do.

Maybe if you just had a photographer friend or mentor, they would show you where you are making a mistake and what to do differently. 

But since you don’t have access to any photographer and most trainings are beyond what you can afford, you continue to do it yourself everyday even with how tired and frustrated you feel.

Maybe you like taking images of your family and friends but you want to be able to take better images that will impress them or get them to start taking you seriously

You want to be able to take pictures so well and start charging money for it.

If this is you, then the Versatile Beginners Photography Training is for YOU.

The difference between you and anyone ahead of you is knowledge. So, when you see where this knowledge is don't hesitate to get it.

The instructors explained every slide excellently well. Their explanation involved practical examples that made it easy for me to understand quickly. The workshop helped me to gain clarity. I learnt the different Photography niches and with consistent practice I know which of them I love to focus on. Lighting has become as easy as ABC for me. The classes were so detailed and understandable making it easy for me to follow through and practice all that I learnt since the training. I know what niche to focus on in my photography. I gained a lot of confidence knowing that I can create amazing work because I have the right knowledge to do so. The Photography project also stretched my capacity and helped me become better at Storytelling. The team is a reflection of who Mama Gaz is. They paid attention to everyone & carried us along. We could ask questions and be rest assured that we'd get a good answer. Versatile beginners training is an investment & the payment is not worth the value you'll gain at all. So don't think twice about it. Or you could just get in and see for yourself.

I was scared of my decision whether I was being wise or not going through an online training course rather than searching for a physical class.

The instructors went far beyond expectations in explaining each slide of the course to me. I can now shoot in manual mode without a guess of settings.Now, I understand lighting and composition. I also know my genre of photography.... What I really liked was the connection and open mindedness of the instructors to really teach and raise up young creatives and , the constant checking up on our progress, both on mails and on the telegram groups. The connection was at a point stronger than that of a physical class... This is a workshop for all beginners or intermediates who really want to grow with less struggle as it enabled me to appreciate photography in a better way and helped me to have a regenerated mindset and perception about photography.
