Introducing the Cairo Photo School
April 15th, 2010
The Cairo Photo School is a new initiative aimed at helping photographers of all standards to explore the potential of their photography in Cairo and throughout Egypt.
It has been set up and is staffed by professional photographers Marco Ryan and Ramy Salem, whose specialties range from commercial studio work and event photography to travel and landscape photography, allowing us to offer a range of different courses, locations and opportunities.
Our philosophy is that photography should be fun. We aim to inspire you, to help you and to ensure that you leave your time with us delighted by what you have achieved and excited by the possibilities now open to you.
Although we have a range of courses from evening workshops, to one-day classroom, studio or workshop courses, our aim is to make this personal. We never have classes more than 4 – for any of our courses, as we believe that you deserve as much one on one time as you need.
Our courses fall into 3 broad categories:
7-10 day workshops and photo tours led by world renown photographers. Threshers run by our sister company, Cairo Photo Tours.
1 day or half day intensive workshops for 1-4 people. These are tailored to your needs and have no fixed syllabus and consists of 1 on 1 coaching and mentoring. Cost for these are $350 for the half day or $600 for a full day, which is split between the number of attendees
1 day courses where the syllabus is fixed but the date is up to you. These course can have up to 4 people and are $450 for the full day. There are no half day courses.
