Consultations and training
About my consultations and / or training:
- Without water. Only the essence, only the concentrated experience. Many times have already had to retrain newly-made photographers after the next 'pseudo-photo school'.
- I'll tell you all the subtleties and all the tricks that I know. I am very open about my work and am glad to share all my experience. Taking pictures is not difficult - it is difficult to be able to do it subtly.
- I’ll tell you all the ins and outs of photographic equipment, about almost any camera, any lens. I will give the most practical advice with specifics for your tasks.
- I have a wide circle of friends, you can hear such revelations about which I can’t write about in Radozhiv.
- I will help 'beginners' to decide on the way, I will indicate where and how to start.
- Training: an individual approach to each specific person. Practical lessons! Only practical exercises for those who really want to study.

Thank you for attention. Arkady Shapoval.
It was time to start this business. Congratulations! :) It’s a pity, I don’t live in Kiev, so I would love to go.
Carry your gold
and don't forget the silver.
In this case, it's worth it. For investing in quality education (as in this situation) and in health are the most rational ways to use them.
Yes, and Oskar Barnack and I would have gone, listened to useful information, talked with Arkady .. It's a pity we missed each other ..
Very true undertaking! So you reach a circle of people who are unable to read your site. Well, or able to read, but unable to understand what was written. :)
Arkady, I fully support!
Do not spare the dichlorvos for cockroaches in the heads of vulnerable creative personalities!))
I really want to get there. Waited for such an offer. And if the group? then how? 500 per hour is a little expensive for me. Because the question is the whole car. and I’m afraid that even in ten lessons I won’t cover the whole spectrum. and so I wanted to participate in this.
500 UAH / h., It is very cheap. In fact, this amount is 3-5 times less than that requested for individual lessons, pros of a similar level.
It is really inexpensive :)
I wrote in a personal, I will consult on issues)
I used to do a group lesson, in the end it all comes down to directly questions and work with one person. A group of up to 6 people is also possible, the cost is the same, I don't care who to show or tell. Knowledge costs money, for a long time I recommend to everyone after buying an expensive camera - buy yourself training :)
For the first time I regretted that ... I live in Moscow)
When all this politota settles down, I think I’ll come.
No money here.
I'm afraid it will not settle down soon ((
but you can come even now - it's okay, believe me, it won't
or find anyone else who wants to in Moscow (as I understand here half of those reading Arkady's blog are Muscovites), drop off and call for a few days (we won't let go for a lot) Arkady to you
Sooner or later, you would have come to this anyway. With a new twist, Arkady!
A pseudo-photo school is one that is not CANONIC.
Thank you so much for this opportunity! I'll definitely come.
Good topic. In your beautiful site, with the right approach, you can find answers to many photo questions.
But when you read questions and answers ... a certain category needs sound waves and real perception of things.
Expensive!
In fact, the average cost of an average (slightly better than average) photographer in Kiev is $ 50 per hour. There is also $ 20. Where is it expensive? Why is it expensive?
Arkady, not expensive!
We at a cafe with Oskar Barnack eat $ 65. And here is some more useful knowledge.
The fact that you are eating $ 65 does not mean that it is not expensive. In some African country you can live on this money for a month.
It is important to understand what kind of knowledge you will receive and how you can manage it. You can be a genius in your field and find yourself unclaimed in the right place at the right time, then such knowledge is worthless.
As far as I know, Arkady does not live in an African country.
Of course, knowledge in photography is unlikely to help if you find yourself on a desert island and without a camera.
But no one will share valuable knowledge with you over a bowl of soup. Yes, it's useless, you can look at YouTube like that ..
As far as I know, in your country, many live a hundred a month, and for a bowl of soup on a desert island, you will give me the last pants.
Here it is necessary to watch whether the invested money is repulsed or not, and there are a lot of factors. Maybe the student is hopeless mediocrity or there is no market, so why should he study?
Many live differently. And if they live on “a hundred a month,” then they should have no time to read the forums, they need to work.
An uninhabited island is also uninhabited - you won't be there to buy pants. Otherwise it will be easier to eat you than to sell you pants. I'll keep my pants, too! :)
I don't really believe in hopeless mediocrity. There are some who are not very interested in learning. Even a person without much talent can be taught to take good pictures and in the general mass of bad photos he will stand out for the quality of the pictures. Actually 90% of those who are known demonstrate exactly the principle of “patience and work will grind everything”. There are really talented units and the photographic world does not live by them.
The teaching was never in vain. Even negative experiences are beneficial.
You can draw up a lesson program with Arkady and he will answer your questions. To figure out what topics Arkady is strong (in your opinion) and learn just that. Then there will definitely be benefits. Learning from your own mistakes is much longer, and if counted for money, then more expensive.
The price is not really high. Experience and knowledge are not cheap.
Unfortunately, Arkady know you as a theoretic and a tester of photographic equipment. Works from which would be breathtaking, I did not see)
Those authors whose works are breathtaking - don't come here. They know almost everything they need. They very rarely, more often from employment, share something. On my own, many years of experience, I was convinced that very often, really cool masters, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, are mediocre, or even bad storytellers, often illiterate… I know a lot of examples, but, naturally, I will never voice them. Therefore - the aspiration of Arkady I WELCOME CATEGORALLY!
And what is wrong? Arkady’s hands are growing from the right place, with photographs, too, everything is in order. It would be clear that he is not Rene Maltet, but this does not detract from his merits.
They took it off the tongue. And who will pay such money in a poor, dying country ... ... The lip will not crack? The site is suitable only for surface acquaintance, no more, due to this it is promoted. He does not give any other fundamental knowledge, I don’t think that it is possible to acquire it from personal communication with the author.
It has long been a trebo. Price is available.
Good knowledge does not lie quietly pennies.
The author of the great rock is giving you information for free. Yak say my knowledge - the skin of the robot is ma cinu.Vam virishuvati.
It is interesting when the first comment appears with questions about how much the lesson costs, how to contact? That is, questions that are answered in the article.
Is it expensive or not, it's up to the client to decide. The price has been determined. Arkady, this is not a big piece of advice for you ... You have a lot of optics and different equipment. Take her to class, so as they say in practice.
It's time to go "download the site"
+100500
With paid registration, and all commentators (with sensible comments) in share :)
The site is working and, I hope, will work as usual.
Пізно, I’ve rolled on your articles too!)))
PS After rereading everything, I think about more niz at the new "introductory courses". Dyakuyu.
In fact, very little is reflected in the articles, mainly basic information, since it’s rather difficult to write about some things :) + there are no articles about the artistic component of the site :)
This service is needed either by the lazy, or by a very specific issue that cannot be found in literature or photo resources.
Humanity is still able to prolong its existence, to fulfill its historical mission, including because it can transmit experience. From hand to hand, from generation to generation. Cultural, scientific and technical, any.
So, everyone has a lot to learn from Arkady. Even if you are an advanced amateur, even if you are a professional.
For example, I just recently figured out how you can dramatically improve the quality of a picture, reduce noise and reduce post-processing time using elementary competently configured profile (more precisely several profiles) Picture Control loaded with a camera.
I wanted to cry, as I thought how much time I would save, if I had known this before.
“Image quality, reduce noise and reduce post-processing time” is not the main thing, gentlemen. The image should please first of all with the content. No offense, Arkady is a noble technician, but there are not many jobs that open your mouth and give up ....
Well, you know this cart - whoever can't, teaches :) ahaha
"And who are the judges?" (from)
Show us your masterpieces, judges!
Or is it a vacation at school now, and can I finally torment my father’s laptop?
Peter Sh, according to your logic, to say that a dish is salted, do you have to be a cook?
or when trying on a suit, you need to be silent that the legs are of different lengths because he himself is not chubby and did not sew a similar suit? )))
or do you just want to label everyone who has a different opinion?
Not true. According to my logic, only competent professionals have the right to publicly evaluate (that is, not for themselves personally) the quality of works of art.
I affirm that photography is an art. And I can prove it with quotes from recognized photographers.
You deliberately distort logic by equating the art of photography with banal boiled potatoes and pants. So, your arguments are not accepted.
“And the judges, who?” (from)
so tell us what achievements Arkady has as a photographer where judges are professional photographers. Are such judges satisfied? )
for example, Medvedev - won the National Geographic competition. )
“Where the judges are professional photographers” - where is it?
google photo contests, the jury)))
as well as photo contests organized by brands, the same national geographic.
huge selection.
Stelmach was mentioned here. here are his latest achievements, he puts them on the blog:
http://stelmakh.com/nyu-jorkskij-institut-fotografii-reklamiruetsya-moej-fotografiej/
http://stelmakh.com/moya-fotografiya-s-shutterstock/
http://stelmakh.com/fhm-ispol-zuet-moyu-fotografiyu/
No offense, but the achievements of Mr. Stelmakh are picked out by the little finger from the nose.
Mr. Stelmakh earned money on top-end photo equipment (how much is it invested in his canon? $ 15-000?), his photos are published in gloss, take prizes, are sold on stocks. as a bonus, he earned a one-year trip around the world with his family))) and this is just that in open data)))
no offense, I completely admit that for Oleg it is picking a finger in the nose, which only in life does not happen)))
can you take courses how to use the search? )))

Dear Andrey, if for you the criteria of professionalism are exclusively competitive prizes and recommendations of world-famous masters, then there is nothing to talk about with you. Sorry.
just people - cattle and do not understand anything in the photo! and 95% of photographers too! they shoot everything closed and on the canon!
Petru S. You will decide who, in your opinion, has the right to assess the quality of photographs. Otherwise, it is not clear from your statements whether they are competent professionals or exclusively professionals who do not have a world name. Maybe only specially trained art critics? You simply deny other people the right to publicly evaluate them. Maybe only you?
In the course of anatrolly divided into Andrew and Alexei!
Well of course not. At competitions, judges are qualified art critics, of course. I don’t want to go into the qualifications and preferences of some judges in some competitions. Sometimes I don’t completely share their choice, just like you and any other person, in any situation. Forography, for and fine art in general, things are extremely subjective.
But I can never afford to say that this work is very mediocre and the author is just a techie. I have no right to say that, understand?
Today Viktor Akhlomov, four-time winner of World Press Photo, went to Eternity. And the criteria of his professionalism, not only prizes and world renown, but his work.
Really deleted the comment. It seems nothing extremist. I will repeat. “To drastically improve the quality of the image, reduce the level of noise and reduce the post-processing time” - This is not the main thing, gentlemen. The main content of the image. Arkady is a noble theorist, but there are few works that take your breath away. So what to teach?
on Radozhiv no one removes anything if there is no politics and obscenities. Calm down :)
More than once Arkady gave me good advice, and what lens to buy, and a flash and other photographic equipment! I can only recommend! So take lessons from professionals, and do not read forums where people sit who know a lot of theory, but in practice - zero.
Everyone comes to this sooner or later. About the fact that “there are no photographs from which captures the spirit” - bullshit! There they are. There were photos from Arkady on the site, which personally took my breath away. But it's another matter what the taste and color ... I wanted to say about something else. Here is Stelmakh in which the sea of photographs "from which will take your breath away" now as an adult gives master classes and moonlights as a retoucher. The venerable advertising photographer Igor Sakharov as an adult continuously conducts master classes. IT IS DIFFICULT, VERY DIFFICULT nowadays to make money by photography. Arkady, I welcome your undertaking, I wish you good luck, I wish you to quickly get out of a difficult life streak. I admire your calmness, steadfastness, benevolence, calm clarity of thoughts inherent in all your articles. And the goats from the “a little expensive” series as well as lovers of “breathtaking photographs” are time to mark the way to yuh.
Arkady has good work. Only they do not refer to examples of pictures from custom photo sessions or purely test shots somewhere in your yard, in order only to demonstrate the characteristics of "glass". If we touch on its maritime (vacation) theme, then everything is very emotional and the eye rejoices. Yes, it is not always possible to catch spectacular lighting, shoots in the place and time where, perhaps, it will be impossible to return. If Arkady set himself a goal - to visit two dozen heavenly corners of Planena, as Lee Frost, Roland Gerth, etc. did, then, no doubt, the pictures would also shock many ...
Well, that began to hang labels and mate. I just expressed my opinion, gentlemen. Arkady is a very strong theorist and techie, but, as they say, “the theory is dry, my friend, and the tree of life is flourishing.” By the way, to shoot something amazing, it is not necessary go to no Heavens, right?
Correct quote: "The theory is dry, my friend, but the tree of life turns green."
And if in the case, then Arkady has excellent shots, and you are now doing quite a thick trolling. And this is not good.
Well, yes, but calling people a goat and sending 3 letters is good for you. By the way, there are several translation options for this phrase ... ... Good luck.
Anonymous, I recognize you: you are Anatrolius. Old tableware fighter ...
If it's expensive - don't come, what's the problem? I do not like the photo and, in your opinion, there is nothing to learn - do not come. I'm only interested in what is presented on the site and that's enough - don't come. Why educate yourself. I support Arkady's idea. His site is his right to advertise. And everyone decides for himself whether or not to take lessons from him.
