The feeling that we are not satisfied with our photos and want to take better photos comes from our pursuit of beauty. To this end, we have returned to our own journey of learning photography and designed a learning system that is suitable for everyone, so that you can unlock your photography talent and experience the feeling of being able to take good photos yourself. It is not out of reach to take eye-catching photography. As long as you master simple principles and methods, you can capture all kinds of beauty in life at any time! After guiding more than 1,200 students, we can generously say: Under our guidance, no one can’t learn photography! https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/%E5%A4%8F%E5%A4%9C%E5%BD%B1%E5%83%8F%E5%8A%9B-%E5%AF%A6%E6%88%B0%E5%BC%8F%E6%95%99%E5%AD%B8_comp.jpg We organize abstract, difficult and complex photography knowledge into concise key points so that students can get started quickly. Photography is not something that can be learned by sitting in the classroom. Therefore, we have designed a solid outdoor practical course.

We like to take photos precisely because we feel the beauty of the world. To retain this beauty in photos, in addition to keen observation, it also requires the mastery of "composition".

We will use the fastest and simplest way to let you understand the most important basic concepts of photography.
