Ador Pamintuan teaches a student.For those who wish to complete the Basic workshop in only five (5) contiguous days – i.e., those from the provinces or from abroad that cannot stay for five weekends in Metromanila – the FPPF is offering weekday workshops from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, an accelerated version of the Basic Photography workshop that will run for 5 continuous weekdays. Workshop fee for the weekday sessions is P5,000.

Workshop teaches basic photography skills: how to operate a digital SLR camera, how to achieve proper exposure, elements of design, posing, studio lighting and more.

We still recommend the weekend course for the time it allows for the exercises between weekends, but for those who must complete it in the shortest time, we now offer weekday sessions.
