Qualification in Photography Profession

And so finally I have obtained a qualification in the photography profession and with this ends my great learning epic in Latvia.

Finally after several years of training at www.fotoskola.lv I obtained Latvia's most serious document confirming that I am a qualified photographer. With this also ends my great 3-year learning epic with:
  • 3 months with photographers Gatis Rozenfelds and Elmārs Rudzītis
  • 2 years with photographer Grigorijs Aleksikovs
  • 3 months at photoclub "Rīga" with Uldis Muzikants and Zigurds Bilzoņš
  • 2 years at Biruta Magele's Style School with Bindes, Oļegs Zernovs, etc.
  • 3 months at www.fotoakademija.lv with Aivars Liepiņš, Andrejs Grants, Boriss Koļesņikovs, Indriķis Stūrmanis, etc.

I did all of this in approximately 3 years while studying in parallel at various places, studying at RTU and working. All that remains is to strengthen the acquired knowledge in practice and to learn and learn again while working. There's also a dream to finish some foreign photography university, but for now it's just a dream...

At PhotoAcademy.lv it matters a lot from whom you learn this knowledge. For example, I received a lot of information I already knew. But there were also valuable tips and examples from the masters' experience! To be honest, I would have liked richer and more "juicy" information!

I'm already second course with G. Aleksikovs. nowhere else, in my opinion there's no point going. Only need to note that Russian language will be necessary to know.

Where and how can one find out more about where Grigoris teaches?

The biggest at this moment is the listing of places where one can learn. Because I myself also once had the determination to go through it.

Congratulations!
And Martins asked exactly the question that I wanted to ask myself - if you had to learn from the beginning, which school would you choose? Which one gave the most, leaving the diploma aside? :)

Congratulations on finishing school! Listen, but if you had to start learning from the beginning would you choose photoacademy or photoschool? I'm interested in both these institutions unfortunately I've not heard exhaustive reviews.
