Why Should Companies Train Their Employees in Photography?
Visual content has become the new language of business. Training your employees in photography has a multifaceted benefit:
- Motivation and Team Spirit: A creative break allows employees to de-stress, learn a new skill together and strengthen team bonds.
- In-house Visual Quality Improvement: Employees who can produce higher quality and professional visuals for internal presentations, reports and even social media posts directly improve the external image of your brand.
- Triggering Creative Thinking: Photography is about composition, light and storytelling. These skills also develop your employees' problem-solving and innovation abilities.
- Creating Brand Ambassadors: Employees who can take “beautiful” photos of their own company events and enjoy sharing them become the most authentic ambassadors of your brand.
Case Analysis: Microsoft Turkey Creative Photography Workshop
We organized a special “Creative Photography Workshop” with the Microsoft Turkey team to both increase the motivation of employees and develop their creative perspectives. We had a pleasant and instructive experience with practical shootings immediately following the theoretical information.
Corporate Training Programs (Online & Face-to-Face)
We offer a variety of modules that can be customized to suit your company's needs, calendar and budget:
Applied Basic Photography
For this workshop, which we have done with many institutions before, we prepare a Basic Photography Training program suitable for your request. The place and hours of training are programmed according to you. This program, which usually lasts 5 weeks (2.5 hours a week), enables participants to fully master their cameras.
Instagram and Mobile Photography
With Burak Bulut, you can organize a creative, practical and enjoyable Instagram and Mobile Photography Workshop for your employees. Although cell phones may seem automatic, your employees will not believe how much the quality of mobile photos will improve with basic photography knowledge!
Advanced Photography Training
It is an advanced course for teams who have basic training or already have knowledge. In this program, we focus on specific topics such as the use of studio light, professional product shooting, e-commerce photography or portraiture. We learn creative techniques with plenty of practice with photography enthusiasts who are not satisfied with the basics.
Online Video Trainings
Burak Bulut, who has more than 6000 trainees from all over Turkey and the world, also transfers his knowledge to those far away with online video training. After the photography presentation in a mutual video chat (Zoom etc.), participants can instantly reinforce what they have learned with small applications on the screen.
Shooting - Practice Trips
We organize in-city or out-of-town photography trips together with the contracted tour company and ensure that your employees have a pleasant activity together on the weekend and help them improve their photography practices.
Frequently Asked Questions About Corporate Trainings
Where are the trainings held? Can you come to our office?
Yes, we plan our trainings according to your preference. We can train in our fully equipped studios in Istanbul or Berlin or directly at your company office (in-house). We also organize interactive online (Zoom) workshops for teams in different locations.
Do participants need professional cameras?
No, it's not a requirement. While a DSLR camera is recommended for the ‘Basic Photography’ course, our ‘Instagram and Mobile Photography’ workshop focuses specifically on mobile phone cameras. Our aim is to enable participants to work wonders with whatever equipment they have.
What is the ideal group size?
We recommend keeping interactive workshop groups between 10-15 people to get the most out of them. However, we can design custom programs for larger seminars or smaller, focused (e.g. C-level) groups depending on your company's needs.
Are online courses interactive? It's not just watching videos, is it?
Our online trainings are not in a ‘watch video’ format. It is completely live, interactive and direct question-answer with Burak Bulut Yıldırım. It offers a highly productive ‘workshop’ experience that does not look like face-to-face education with screen sharing, instant application and assignment evaluations.
