Photography Composition
with Mark Tomaras
This beginner-friendly workshop teaches you how to compose beautiful, intentional images using any camera — even a smartphone.
Instead of focusing on technical settings, the emphasis is on developing your photographic vision and learning to “see” like a photographer.
Through guided exercises and practical practice, you’ll explore four essential compositional principles that form the foundation of strong, expressive photography. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how to frame, balance, and communicate ideas visually.
Duration: 3h
Price: 55€ per person
Private and small-group options available upon request.
