Yuri Arcurs, one of the most successful stock photographers in the world, is running another of his photographer training programs in Capetown, South Africa. This program is for 17 to 24-year-olds that are highly competitive, goal-oriented and have strong entrepreneurial and creative characteristics. Candidates must survive a two-week Boot Camp beginning February 1, 2016. (This is not marine training, but it will be an intense experience to determine what the candidates know and how quickly they learn.)
This fifth Elite Academy Program is a privately funded program that runs for two years. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get photography training from a leading expert, travel to exotic locations, and acquire working experience through interactions with real projects, clients and top models. The deadline for applications is 17 January 2016. For more information check out this
link.
Below you will find some information concerning Yuri’s iStock production and sales and the sales of a few top photographers who have either gone through earlier Academy programs programs or worked with Yuri.
