Yaroslav Monchak - photographe mentor

“For many people in Switzerland, photography is a beautiful hobby — capturing nature, landscapes, or small moments of life.

But for some, there is a quiet wish to take it further.

To work freely, to create images that matter, and to make a living from what they truly enjoy.

This course is for those who feel that wish.

It is a practical path toward professional and commercial photography — built on real experience, not theory.”
