The Photography Academy (Tpasg)

I was very excited to attend this very interesting photography workshop by The Photography Academy (TPASG) held on a Saturday morning in an equally interesting location, the cat cafe. The whole experience was fun and very rewarding with the many great photography tips and photo editing tips being shared. There was much laughter, sharing of creative ideas and I've made new friends which I'm sure will turn into Kakis as we all have the same interest in photography.

The initially coordination was good, 2 days before the event I was reminded with a list of camera equipments and good to have items, while on the actual day, the location was easy to find and I was quickly shown to my "teacher of the day" Irene.

The initial part of the workshop comprises of a quick introduction and some tips on photographing this cute cats and we are off to try take some test shots before returning to review on the pictures. Apart from the hands on photography session, we had some training notes that gave us good tips on photography, both the basics and "through the years of experiences" kinda tips. I find them very fulfilling as some of this information, i never thought off at all...

Shortly afterwards we were off to our more professional trial shots and shared the pictures among each other, sharing ideas and why we frame the shots the way we did. Irene then demonstrated to us some process of photo editing, professional jargons and specifications to enhanced our photos and photographers secrets and quick tips for easy and fast editing. She even downloaded some of our pictures and amazed us with the touch up and editing that made our pictures looking priceless. It was very exciting to see our photos be transformed into an amazingly gorgeous image right in front of you with a simple tap on the mouse and yes years of experience to do the right clicks.

The whole atmosphere was constructive and participants open, helpful and joyous. While time flies, the workshop came to an unrelenting end with a good surprise at the end. Irene brought out a special one time treat (not supposed to be packaged in the workshop) of a photo printer to print out our 3 personal best. This was awesome as we got to bring home some pictures. The class ended with us making friends with each other and those who wanted to stay on to take more pictures of these cute cats at the cat cafe could do so while some of us who made initial appointments got to go... *i wished i've stayed*

Enjoyed the entire session tremendously and learnt alot. Its time well spent and experience that impacted the foundations of my photography skills. I tried the tips immediately even with my mobile phone and got great praises from my friends.... after writing this, now they know my secret.... :)
