Last summer I was finally able to hold my long-awaited apprenticeship certificate in my hands. I've been working towards this for three long years, taking a thousand pictures, spending another thousand hours in post-processing and probably a lot more studying for the exam.
But what actually happens in a Training as a photographer<\/a> with photogenics?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st year of apprenticeship <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my freshman year at Photogenica <\/a>I learned an awful lot of things. At the beginning you fulfill even simpler tasks, such as operating the cash register, taking pictures of passport photos <\/a>or organizational work.
It quickly became more demanding and I was allowed to take part application pictures<\/a> and prove it in customer contact. As soon as I had gained enough experience in this, I was allowed to work with customers myself.
At first I was really nervous, but the more experienced I became, the easier my work became.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd year of apprenticeship <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the application pictures I took my next big step and tried myself portraits <\/a>and family photos<\/a>. Many of my friends had to serve as models. At this point, once again, a big thank you to you! I was also allowed to accompany some of our weddings and collect first impressions of wedding photography. At the end of the second year of training I was able to photograph almost every area of private photography of photogenics independently and started the last part of my training motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3rd year of apprenticeship <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Final spurt! In my third year at Photogenika in Munich, I was able to gain experience and further develop my skills.
And then it was already so far that I had to think about my upcoming final exam. Since my training focuses on portrait photography, I was allowed to choose and realize a free topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, the three years flew by and I am now happy to be able to actively support my colleagues in the photo studio in the Westend.
Now as a photographer journeyman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
