How does FotoFly Academy work?
Four months short.
The curriculum is designed to be rigorous as we teach you all areas of portrait photography. Four months is the perfect balance between efficient and thorough. You'll feel stretched as you progress through each subject.
After four months, you'll feel ready. You'll have the confidence that comes from receiving formal training when most photographers are self-taught.
Materials
Every student will receive an electronic manual created by Eric. The manual is currently 617 pages and includes examples, illustrations/diagrams, video and audio. This manual will be provided on a 9th generation iPad.
You'll also receive a workbook that follows the material taught each class. That means less notes and more paying close attention. :)
Four-hour classes.
Every four hour class is designed to be impactful. Almost all classes involve a review of your assignment, discussion, demonstration and practice with live models. All types of learners will benefit from class time.
Eric will be personally teaching all classes these first two semesters. This means each class will be challenging but you'll develop quickly into a talented photographer.
Between classes, you'll have specific assignments that will generally require a subject. You'll know the assignment schedule ahead of time and can therefore reach out to your friends and neighbors who are the right age/type.
These assignments are substantial and will generally require two hours to complete. For the training to take hold, assignments should not be skipped.
