Canon Korea (CEO President: Park Jeong-woo, kr.canon), a total imaging solution company, is opening and recruiting participants for its new premium intensive education program, ‘Canon Academy Jeju Week — Intensive Photographic Record Program.’
‘Canon Academy Jeju Week’ is an upgraded premium program designed based on the successful operation of ‘THIS IS SEOUL,’ a one-day class held last year against the backdrop of downtown Seoul. Moving away from traditional, shooting-centric photo excursions, this program is curated to allow participants to deeply experience the essence of photographic records in the unique setting of Jeju while systematically learning the know-how of professional photographers. The program will take place across Jeju Island for 7 days from Sunday, June 7, to Saturday, June 13. Following this, photo reviews and final print sessions will be conducted on Saturday, June 20, and Saturday, June 27, combining both on-site sessions at the Canon Academy in Seoul and online meetings.
Under the slogan “Completing 7 Days with the Photographer’s Vision and Canon’s Tools,” the program explores the unique ecology and culture of Jeju from multiple angles. Participants will receive '6-Layer Intensive Mentoring' from 9 experts across various fields, covering Jeju’s Nature, Street, Documentary, Culture & Art, Multimedia, and Milky Way & Astrophotography. To provide more options, the program is divided into a Full Package covering the entire 7-day schedule, and Single Sessions that allow intensive study of specific themes. Even beginners without cameras can participate, as the latest Canon cameras and RF lenses will be available for rent free of charge.
Through this program, participants will fully experience Canon's ‘Full Lineup Workflow’ that connects shooting, editing, and printing. During the shooting phase, Canon's high-performance full-frame mirrorless cameras and premium RF lens lineup can be rented at no cost. After shooting, participants will go through a precise process: syncing with the smartphone transfer app 'Camera Connect', on-site primary printing using mini photo printers, and advanced editing using 'DPP (Digital Photo Professional)'. Finally, they will directly print their artwork using professional photo printers, allowing them to fully appreciate the value of the entire creative process.
Park Jeong-woo, CEO of Canon Korea, stated, “This ‘Canon Academy Jeju Week’ condenses the know-how of last year’s popular urban photo classes to help participants discover the hidden values of Jeju through an artistic lens. We hope that through Canon’s outstanding imaging technology and professional mentoring system, participants can deeply experience the true charm of photographic art by shooting, editing, and printing their own work.”
Detailed information regarding the ‘Canon Academy Jeju Week’ program can be found on the official Canon Academy website (academy.kr.canon).
💬 Q&A Translation
Q1. How does ‘Canon Academy Jeju Week’ differ from the existing Canon Academy?
A: ‘Jeju Week’ is a premium photography education program where participants deeply explore the nature, culture, and people of Jeju to complete their own unique photographic records. The program is structured to transition from 7 days of on-site shooting in Jeju to photo reviews in Seoul, fine-tuning via a digital darkroom, and final photo printing. Participants who complete the entire process will also have the opportunity to publish a collaborative photo book.
Q2. What is the '6-Layer Intensive Mentoring' led by 9 experts?
A: It is a system where 9 top experts provide close, hands-on mentoring by dividing the diverse charms of Jeju into 6 specific themes: ▲Nature ▲Street ▲Documentary ▲Culture & Art ▲Multimedia Video ▲Milky Way & Astrophotography. In particular, prominent figures such as Lim Jae-cheon—a Canon Master and one of Korea’s leading documentary photographers—will participate as instructors to deeply impart their artistic vision and storytelling methods.
Q3. Can beginners without cameras or busy office workers with limited time participate?
A: We have significantly lowered the barrier to entry so that anyone can join. Beginners who do not own a camera or lens can rent the latest Canon camera bodies and high-performance RF lenses free of charge during the education period. Furthermore, for office workers who cannot commit to the full 7 days or creators interested only in specific fields, we offer individual 'Single Sessions' for chosen themes in addition to the 'Full Package' that covers the entire schedule.
