I’m so happy to have discovered Brazzi Academy. For a long time, I admired the team’s work, creativity, and the ideas they brought to life. I kept planning to join their workshops, but unfortunately, I never managed to find the right time to attend—until Tomas Brazinskas finally organized online courses! I never thought it was possible to learn so much in such a short time remotely. ☀︎ The program is perfectly prepared: clear, informative, and straightforward! Thank you so much! Wishing the whole team success on their creative journey! Looking forward to next time!
★★★★★
Gintarė Zdanavičiūtė
If you're looking for training that clearly explains the material with examples instead of mixing everything into a boring mess, then Brazzi Academy is exactly what you need! Both the online content and the explanations during the live sessions are super clear and to the point. And Tomas and his whole team’s genuine support and communication throughout the learning process is like the cherry on top! I definitely recommend it!
★★★★★
Šarūnė Černikevičienė
Brazzi Academy training feels to me like a long-distance swim. At the start, everyone lines up, the instructions are briefly explained, and then you’re sent off to swim on your own. One might ask, “What if my leg cramps?” Another might worry, “What if I run out of air?” Calmly, Tomas Brazinskas — a great coach and inspiration — replies, “Everything will be fine, you’ll manage, and I’ll always be there to help.” And so you swim, trusting that you’ll succeed, taking in refreshing experiences and knowledge with every stroke.
Why do I choose Brazzi Academy? Because nothing inspires like the enthusiasm of people who truly know and master their craft. Along with knowledge, practice, and building my portfolio, I get a huge boost of positive energy, the chance to take my work to the next level, and the belief that anything is possible. I bow to the team and its leader with gratitude for what and how you do it 💕

Alla Budrienė
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++++++++++++

Sandra Patapienė
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!
★★★★★
Karolina Lapinaitė
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!
★★★★★
Evaldas Smilgys
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!
★★★★★
Simona Misiūnė
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!
★★★★★
Ieva Ąžuolaitytė Staneikienė
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 😉😂🙉🙈
★★★★★
Vaida Bimbirytė
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!
★★★★★
Kristina Dovydaitienė
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!

Šarūnas Butkus
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.

Vita Kučinskienė
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!
★★★★★
Inesa Vaitkutė
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!
★★★★★
Alicija Alis
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!
★★★★★
Simona Simonavičė
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!
