Academy or Workshop?

What clients say

★★★★★

I’ve known and worked with Roman for almost 13 years. We’ve traveled to many countries. We’ve worked together on photography projects, photography workshop tours (through my company, Photo Workshop Adventures), marketing efforts, and collaborated on the design and functionality of many websites for our clients at Red Octopus.

Michael Chinnici

CEO at Red Octopus and Photo Workshop Adventures

★★★★★

Working with Roman was, above all, easy, straightforward, and a great experience. Roman’s patience to accept my thought process and the time needed to start our project is something to admire. An honest, warm recommendation from me is easy in this case.

Luka Kalember

Booking & Marketing Manager

★★★★★

It was my first photography course, so it was quite impactful, and I learned about preparation, planning, and communicating with colleagues and clients. Basically, the whole workflow of a professional really struck me.
Roman ❤️ All about that guy. His character made this possible. So everybody else just naturally came in.
