Photography Courses & Workshops for Company Employees

I guess anyone can take pictures or make a quick video, throw it on Instagram and LinkedIn and just snap some employee portraits. Or what?

At Theilgaard Academy we have for many years held photography courses and trained both photographers and media professionals. We are seeing how non-photographers are increasingly asked -- or expected to -- produce images and video for their organization. Whether you work in HR, sales, communications or marketing, you may be one of those now in charge of creating visual content, even if you have never been trained for it.

Maybe you have employees who you expect can deliver content to your platforms, but have you considered how difficult it is to actually make good pictures and movies? It takes both technical ability, creative understanding and experience to produce visual material that creates value and communicates professionally. And it takes far more time than many people think.

‍

Because it's not just a matter of grabbing the mobile phone or the camera and getting down to business. Lighting, positioning, background and camera technique are just some of the elements that need to be mastered before you even press the trigger. And then what afterwards? Who is responsible for ensuring the quality of the finished work? Who's editing? When is “good enough” actually good enough? Who makes sure files are stored correctly and used correctly? Do you need to invest in new camera, flash or lighting equipment, or can you get by with the existing one?

All of that we help with when we teach non-photographers to take better pictures. Our courses and photography courses are tailored to the everyday challenges that we know many organizations struggle with. We offer both teaching in teams at our workshops and courses in our premises on Frederiksborggade in the heart of Copenhagen, but we also come out to your company or organisation and adapt the teaching of photography and video exactly to your needs.

So if you have employees who are going to produce film and video, it can be a worthwhile investment to upskill them with a photography course at Theilgaard Academy. It can increase productivity, improve quality, strengthen job satisfaction, and at the same time reduce costs for external suppliers. And if you're an employee yourself, poke your boss on the shoulder and show him our website — maybe that's exactly the solution your organization needs.

It could also be that you are self-employed or freelancing with a company that regularly needs images for your website or marketing. Hiring a professional photographer every time can quickly become a big expense, which is why it makes sense to learn how to take strong and professional photos yourself.

‍

But maybe you don't feel that you are sharp enough yourself, or you find that you spend too much time taking and editing photos. Here we can help you learn exactly what you need, so you can create professional images for your business — quickly and efficiently.

On our workshops We cover all the essential aspects you need to understand to take better pictures, regardless of whether you shoot with mobile phone or a “real” camera. Whether you work with portraits, reportage, events or simple product images, we can help you elevate your photographic level significantly. Our goal is to give you the skills you need to deliver images you can be proud of—every time.
