OCTOBER GROUP PRESALE

From begginer to publications
in Vogue

Nobody come to the top of the mountain in one step. And I am a perfect example of hard work, experiments, self growth and permanent search of inspiration!

Starting with first pictures taken with simple camera in night clubs to gorgeous photoshoots in Europe for the most beautiful people on Earth. And now is a moment to share my experience with those, who can learn and grow within 2 month! Sounds awesome, because it took me more than 10 years to come to this point and to learn everything I know. The students who succeed the exam and worked with me on projects also get the publications in big publics and famous magazines.

With me you will not be scared to jump to absolutely new level. So if you ready, please welcome to my updated course Professional Education for Wedding Photographers 3.0!

What my students say

Update: Elena got into the Top 10 wedding photographers in France in 2023

"Above, I tried a lot to explain my feelings for this course and your Talent, I hope I didn't bother everyone here. Thank you so much! Not even words are enough! The presentation of material, sincerity, and honesty, the most "delicious" was told with great kindness and professionalism. The group chat... it's like a second course, with a personal approach to each of us. It's priceless. Thank you very much again! I hope for a continuation, maybe some more in-depth topics."

Elena Fleutiaux

"I wanted to express my deep gratitude for your mentorship in wedding photography. Your guidance transformed my understanding of this art. From technical skills to the essence of storytelling, you've been instrumental in shaping my approach. Thank you for being an inspiring mentor and for your impact on my journey as a photographer.
I am grateful that we had the opportunity to meet!"

Claudiu Ardelean

"Roma, thank you so much for explanations!! I do wedding photography, and generally professional filming for only about a year. And this is the wedding that I captured before your program. I realized what stylish and high-quality wedding photography looks like! Your course gave me just such a powerful push and knowledge, I couldn't imagine that! Cool
communication, new friends and most importantly -
support!"

Evgenia

"When I went to the Top 100, I saw in the forefront of the tops for 20.21 years and identified for myself several authors whose philosophy is very close to me. I really wanted to get into his course, because I see values in him that are close to me, I want to be equal to him, so I set myself a tough motivation in February and bought it. This is my second season in which I am actively shooting weddings and I want to reach a new level of projects, shoot more weddings per season and start working with agencies.

This chat is a storehouse no less than the course itself! I don't know how to manage to watch the course and listen to the answers to the questions in the chat, but it's just amazing.

Thank you for your work Roma!"

Roman Kornilov

"I wanted to say thank you so much for the course. I didn't get into the first stream, but I realized that everything happens when it's supposed to, and by the second stream I had matured morally and the material was perceived exactly as it should be :) thank you very much for paying so much attention to detail, the psychology of communication, and appearance. It seems like insignificant things, but they are very important when you want to reach a new level. And special thanks for the group chat, so fast and detailed
feedback was hard to imagine."
