Photoschool 2.8 is a modern educational institution offering courses for both beginner and advanced photographers. Over a period of one to three months, students not only learn all the nuances of various types of shoots but also gain experience from working professionals in the world of photography.

The lecture hall here is a stylish, spacious photo studio located in the very center of the city, 2 minutes from Svobody Square (151 Maxima Gorkogo Street). Shooting studios are provided to students free of charge for homework assignments, and at the end of each course a graduate receives a certificate.

The instructors are professionals who currently shoot for the city's most demanding private and corporate clients. Their extensive practical experience allows them to tell their students about all the nuances of working as a professional photographer.

"We don't just explain to students what shutter speed is and why a histogram is needed — we help them see the shot and teach them how to convey their vision through photography. We have huge experience in both artistic and commercial photography, so we select only the most vivid and relevant material. Besides that, our programs are constantly being improved to keep up with modern trends. And we also create a special atmosphere, introduce students to the city's best photographers, and treat them to tasty tea with cookies," say the heads of the photo school, Sergei Mikheev and Roman Kosolapov.

On Saturdays and Sundays, Photoschool 2.8 holds free creative meetups with interesting people and various photographers of the city, where everyone can socialize among like-minded people.
