Meet your teacher, Cesar, a passionate photographer with a diverse background in business and creative pursuits with a vast experience leading and fostering thriving communities.
Cesar is not just a photographer, but also an educator. He has been teaching for over 20 years, making complex concepts easy and fun to learn. His unique teaching style is influenced by his background in business management and his commitment to the Bushido and Buddhist concepts of presence, dedication, and enjoyment in every task.
Cesar's playful and engaging approach makes learning photography fun and accessible. He combines his technical expertise with a passion for storytelling to help students demystify the technical jargon, focus on what is important for each student and allow a customized path for you to achieve YOUR goals.
Beyond teaching, Cesar is:
• A portrait and event photographer with years of experience in Zurich.
• A seasoned entrepreneur with a background in business management and marketing.
• A dedicated and supportive mentor who believes in the power of community learning.
More than just a course, you are enrolling in a thriving and supportive community and are invited to join our photography groups to participate in monthly photo walks, workshops, photo critiques, portfolio reviews, and travel together. We support each other’s projects and learn together in a fun and light-hearted way.
Join Cesar on this exciting journey to capture the beauty of the world through the lens. With Cesar, you’re not just learning photography; you’re embracing a new way of seeing the world.
