Photo school quot;Imagequot; - a live magazine for those who love photography

More and more people are increasingly thinking about how to make their photos not just good, but real art. Against this background, the foto-obraz website appears. livejournal. com, which has already become a meeting place for beginners and experienced photographers from Moscow and beyond.

It is not at all like a regular blog. There are no boring retellings about the weather or everyday affairs. No. There is a pure photography environment here: competitions, educational materials, practical tips that really help improve your photography. Especially if you have just started your journey in the world of photography.

What awaits you here?

• Photo competitions- yes, yes, exactly the kind where you can not only show your creativity, but also win prizes. For example, the Vertical World competition is about winter sports, nature and outdoor themes. Participation is free, and the best works will be exhibited at the Tsaritsyno skating rink. Listen - at the skating rink! This is great. The place is beautiful, people are walking around, and your photos are there, on the stand.
• Another project - PHOTO without frames. Here you just need to upload your work to the VKontakte group, repost the news and be a participant. The winners will receive an original LENSPEN lens cleaning pencil. Yes, a serious thing, especially if you change lenses often.
• There are also useful articles. Like, why do you have spots on all your frames? The answer is simple: the matrix is ​​clogged. And this is not magic, but reality. It needs to be cleaned. There are instructions on how to check Canon, Nikon, Sony brands. There is even a link - although you can find it yourself, of course.

The theme of the site is photography, training, skill development. But not in the format of dry textbooks. Everything here is alive, a little chaotic, as it should be in LiveJournal. Each entry is like a conversation between two friends over coffee, where someone talks about their experience, and the other thinks: I did that, but it didn’t work out for me.

What is hidden behind this blog?

It’s very simple - this is Photo school quot;Imagequot;. They hold competitions, exhibitions, and give practical advice. Strange, but there is not a single phone or email. No office address. No contacts. Maybe because the site is not a commercial project, but rather a community. A place where people gather to show their best work, get feedback and just chat.

An interesting point - all events take place on VKontakte. And LiveJournal is only for publications. That is, if you want to participate, you need to go there. This may be confusing for someone who is used to everything in one place. But there is a lot of activity, people, discussions there.

If you are a beginner, then start with courses. There is information that in November 2014, classes were launched for those who want to seriously engage in photography.And although there are no more details, the very fact of the existence of such programs indicates the seriousness of the approach.

Tags on records are also an important part. Words like photography courses, training, gifts, prizes - all this creates a certain expectation: here you can learn something, become better, maybe even get something pleasant.
