Your coach

Andre Mitin

Founder of Lux Photo Pro — Luxembourg’s leading photography production studio. 15+ years behind the camera, 300+ commercial shoots per year for brands, agencies, and private clients across the Grand Duchy.

You’re not learning from someone who teaches photography. You’re learning from someone who shoots for a living, every week.

The method

Theory at home. Practice in studio.

Most photography courses spend half the room time on slides. We don’t. Theory is handled at home, on your schedule, through a structured video curriculum you get the moment you enroll. Every minute of our 12.5 hours together goes into shooting, light, direction, and personal feedback. You arrive prepared. We get straight to work.

Before we meet — ~2h video curriculum

12 professionally produced lessons. Yours to keep, lifetime access. Click any chapter to see what’s inside.

01The language of photography
~15 min

History, genres, visual references, the photographer’s role. Why photography matters and how to think about your own work in context.

02Camera controls — full walkthrough
30 min

Every dial, button, and menu explained. Custom function buttons, AF modes, drive modes, metering, file formats, picture profiles. After this you know your camera.

03Exposure triangle in depth
34 min

Aperture, shutter speed, ISO — not just what they do, but how they trade off, when to break which, and how working photographers actually think about exposure on the job.

04Lenses, focal lengths & color
13 min

Perspective, compression, the look of different focal lengths. White balance and color — why your phone’s auto white balance lies to you.

05Composition & visual thinking
~25 min

Structure, meaning, intention. The composition rules to learn and the ones to break. How to look before you shoot.

In the studio — 5 sessions, 12.5 hours of practice

Maximum 10 participants. Practical from session one. Real lighting, real model, real-time feedback on every frame.
