FEEDBACK
  • Hi Jurij, the material you have created is fantastic. I'm personally always very interested in the "why?" behind an artist's career and you've described the road to where you are today in fantastic detail. I really like how you mix the discussion of the general way your art has involved with particular shoots which stood out for you at that time (and what went into preparing them, etc.).

    The course is much, much better / more interesting than I would have ever expected for any online material. For me, it feels like a combination of biography, explanation and inspiration. Which is truly wonderful :)

  • Hello Jurij.

    I am going through your online course step by step and I go deeper into many of your linked contents , names and websites.

    I take notes in my own notebook and it is a very nice journey…!

    That´s the reason why I finished chapter ONE yesterday completely after some long evenings.

  • Jurij, thank you for such amazing courses. Everything is clear and accessible, like good wine. I read a section, then ponder it for a couple of days, and then read a little more. Yes, the classification is very smart, the sections are well-organized, and even the font is perfect down to the smallest detail. After seeing your photos, I don't even want to go on Instagram, so as not to spoil my taste. Looking forward to staying in touch!

  • I had an amazing experience with Jurij Treskov's photography course. Towards the end of the course, I felt an immense surge of energy and inspiration. My heart was racing with the desire to shoot more and more, to capture people, to feel and showcase aesthetics to others. I am grateful for the opportunity to immerse myself in this atmosphere and to be part of such a transformative experience.

  • Very cool and interesting. It is inspiring. It's great that you hold such meetings and share your secrets. Thank you for your honesty. Everything is very cool.

    Alexander
  • Thank you for the reboot, I got what I came for. For that elusive feeling of love and charm, which disappeared under the pressure of commercial work. It is important to meet like-minded people and compare your feelings, to touch reality and illusions together.
    Cyril
  • Key phrases and thoughts that stuck with me were: to love the person you are photographing, which I had suspected myself, but now I am convinced once again. Don't spend too much time on post-processing. Maintain a child-like curiosity with a fresh perspective.
    Danilov
  • Treskov's photography course is an absolute must for anyone serious about honing their photography skills. I was thoroughly impressed with the wealth of knowledge and expertise that Jurij imparted throughout the course. The lessons were meticulously crafted, covering the necessary concepts in a clear and concise manner. The practical exercises were particularly helpful in reinforcing the theories taught in the course, making it an immersive and engaging learning experience. Thanks to Jurij's guidance, I now feel much more confident in my photography abilities and I look forward to applying the techniques I've learned in my future work.
    Chad
  • Jurij, thank you for the course! I'm glad I attended because there was a lot of information about the most important thing: the constant process of searching for something new and fresh in photography, rather than the trivial details of retouching. It was especially cool to learn about your journey, especially in such an open and nuanced way, including your work with models during tests.
    Robert

    Rachel
