On October 15, 2014, the online
photo school of the Eastern Partnership
was launched on www.photo-school.eu.
65 Best photo amateurs, who participated in the contest Photoman, completed
a free online pilot coursein March 2015.
– Can you provide more details on
the photo school?
– The online photo school project
is truly unique, because students can
learn from professors from other countries. Students can benefit from this
format, because they used to have no
such opportunity. This is especially
relevant for photographers from rural
Аlexander Vodolazski (Ukraine)
regions, because they have much fewer
opportunities there compared with
students from the capital cities with
their numerous photography courses
and schools. Out of all students of
the pilot course of the online photo
school, which finished in March 2015,
around 25% come from rural regions.
