What to expect?
Our photography mastery program goes well beyond a typical teaching course —
it’s a carefully crafted system for your creative success:
/ You will learn to control light — both natural and studio lighting.
/ You will master composition, posing, and storytelling.
/ You will understand what professional and natural-looking retouching means.
/ You will become part of a creative community and receive individual support from a mentor.
This course is for you if you feel that photography is more than just a hobby — but not yet a profession.
If you want not only to “learn how to take photos,” but to understand the whole system — from the first shot to the final retouch, from building confidence to finding your creative edge.
/ Tomas Brazinskas

Thank you, thank you, thank you – Tomas! I haven’t regretted my choice for a single second! Personally, I got so many useful tips and lessons because it was only during the training that I started shooting in Manual mode :) It was really, really great – as Tomas says, COOL!!!! :)

I’m so happy to have discovered Brazzi Academy. For a long time, I admired this team’s work, creativity, and realized ideas. I kept planning to join their courses, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find the right time. Until finally, Tomas Brazinskas held online courses! I never thought it was possible to learn and discover so much remotely in such a short time. ☀︎ The program is excellently prepared! Clear, informative, and precise! Thank you so much! Wishing the whole team success on their creative journey! Until next time!

If you’re looking for training that clearly explains the material with examples, not just mixing everything into a boring jumble, Brazzi Academy is exactly what you need! Both the online content and the explanations during the live sessions are very clear and precise! And Tomas and his team’s sincere communication and support throughout the learning process are like the cherry on top! Highly recommend!

The Brazzi Academy training feels like a long-distance swim to me. Everyone lines up at the start, the instructions are briefly given, and then you’re sent to swim on your own. “What if my leg cramps?” someone asks. “What if I run out of breath?” asks another. “It will be fine, you’ll manage, I’ll always be nearby to help you,” Tomas Brazinskas replies calmly — a great coach and inspirer. And you swim on, believing you’ll succeed, gathering fresh experience and knowledge with every stroke.
Why do I choose Brazzi Academy? Because nothing inspires like the enthusiasm of people who know and master their craft. Beyond knowledge, practice, and portfolio building, I gain a huge boost of positive energy, the chance to elevate my work to the next level, and the belief that everything is possible. Deep gratitude and respect to the team and its leader for what and how you do it 💕

I have taken many courses, but I’ve never had an instructor like this — inspiring, open, giving their all, sincere, straightforward, and with a great sense of humor, especially on tough topics like Dodge and Burn :)) It was incredibly useful to finally organize my scattered Photoshop knowledge from several years, overcome my struggle with layers, and believe that with dedication and care, I can retouch as well as high-end pros :) If you’re afraid of hard work, don’t come to Tomas — you won’t be able to just sit quietly with your hands folded; you will have to learn Photoshop :) Thank you, Tomas, for the long and fun hours with like-minded people, for your patience and clear knowledge sharing — a lifetime experience for sure! 5++++++++++++

These courses provide not only concrete, immediately applicable knowledge but also inspiration and confidence. I have attended three courses so far — Photo Studio, Retouching, and Photography — all exceeded my expectations. The photo studio intimidated me a lot, and I thought it would take years to learn the techniques to feel comfortable there. Tomas turned everything upside down :) Everything is presented with a clear structure, sincere advice, and a dose of good mood — now I don’t fear the studio but look forward to going there. The retouching course was a complete transformation — brief, clear, and simple, with huge results. I sincerely recommend any of these courses — progress is guaranteed. Thank you, and I look forward to participating in future projects!

A camera alone doesn’t make a person a photographer, just as a pen doesn’t make someone a writer. For a good photographer, the most important thing is to learn to T-H-I-N-K, which is exactly what Brazzi Academy teaches first 🧐 Tomas’s energy and charisma inspire improvement and growth. He sincerely and professionally shares his ‘KNOW HOW’ and answers all questions. During the training, he offers many tips and insights and perfectly motivates creativity.
I wish the entire Brazzi Academy online team a full bank of creative ideas, and big respect to Tomas, the ‘MAN IN BLACK’ 🕴 for sharing and inspiring creation. 🤩
Sincere thanks!

Photography courses with Tomas and his fantastic team were just woooow!!!! Learning in the most enjoyable form. The mood and atmosphere during the training are indescribable — you have to experience it! There’s nothing more to say about the knowledge I gained — everything is professional, stylish, sincere, and most importantly, understandable for everyone! Big thanks for being here, for inspiring, and for sharing your invaluable experience!

The best thing that can happen to any photographer or aspiring photographer is these team’s courses. Because they cover everything — technical settings, composition, the magic of light, high standards in everything, and that other reality to which the art of photography “transports” you. Because this team creates that art and lets you contribute to it through your lens. I didn’t expect much but got a trip to space 🚀 I want more!!! Thank you for doing what you truly know how to do and putting your maximum effort into it!

★★★★★
Thank you for the time, attention, and knowledge. These courses are a real roof-lifter!! I’ve been to a few, and I truly know I will come back. So much attention, sincere desire to help everyone and each person. Tomas gives his all, plus a bonus — both in knowledge and helping you get friendly with the gear. The studio is incredibly cozy; it’s always great to come back. I recommend it to anyone who wants to leave with their head full of knowledge because there’s a lot of info, but it’s presented very well, without any pressure, and with a healthy touch of humor.
P.S. Warning — this leads to serious addiction. See you soon 😉😂🙉🙈

★★★★★
Probably the best courses there are. “Dry” topics presented in an engaging way (especially retouching… dodge and burrrrrrrrrrrrrn, baby! :D) Spot-on critique and Tomas’s infectious energy. Wonderful evenings that make you lose track of time (and kilometers :)), lots of positivity, and things that open your eyes and shake your thoughts! Amazing experience working with models, stylists, and makeup artists! Highly recommend!

You think “maybe someday,” you try to guess if it’ll be good, or if you won’t like it?
Then a little miracle happens — IT’S SO GOOD THERE, you couldn’t even imagine.
Stories are born there. From seemingly simple things. Creativity, inspiration, laughter, and really nice people live there. After years, you sip delicious, melting coffee :D So much happens there…
These are definitely THE BEST EVENINGS FOR OUR PHOTOGRAPHY!

After meeting Brazzi, I understood that he is a teacher who teaches from the heart and pays attention to each student individually, giving personal advice and more. Along with knowledge, you’ll get both criticism and support! Respect!

★★★★★
Exceeded my expectations.
Very constructive training, communication not only in class but also beyond it, lots of homework, independent activities, exploration, concrete solutions. The information was presented fantastically well. I learned a lot. I use it. I recommend Tomas and Brazzi Academy training.

So much energy and dedication to the work that inspiration now overflows. The training is perfect, 5 stars is not enough here. Thank you, Tomas, for your charisma and for sharing it. You definitely won’t be disappointed—whether you are still searching for yourself or have already found yourself, you will gain knowledge and inspiration!

★★★★★
Tomas is a person with the broadest artistic soul, full of ideas, bursting with energy, open to innovations, a bit crazy but always striving for the set goal. His courses inspire you to move forward, to look for something new, and sometimes to see something amazing in ordinary things. So, Tomas, I want to thank you for the opportunity to grow together, for great shots, for opening my eyes wider to photography, and for new ideas. Thank you!
Simona Simonavičė
★★★★★
Super retouching training! The mix of knowledge I had was organized into neat drawers—I learned what I was doing right, what was upside down, and what I can improve and do even better. Useful for retouchers of all levels: beginners will become advanced, and the advanced will flourish. It’s great that there are many homework tasks and practical exercises, everything is visual, easy to communicate with Tomas, criticism is constructive, and after the course, you feel inspired. Thanks and see you next time!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was simply awesome — in one week my friendship with my camera turned 180°! Even just walking down the street now, I started noticing falling light and thinking, “ooo, that would be a really good shot!” Thanks for the very useful knowledge delivered in a fun way!
