Hello, my friends! My name is Oleg Samoilov! I’m from Russia and I’ve been doing photography since 2006. I love photography and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with the beginning photographers and colleagues.
My main project in Russia is www.OpenSchool.biz. One year ago we created a collection of photo tips for beginners in photography in Russian language. It became popular and I was offered to translate these photo tips into English – I couldn’t refuse.
And here is the New Year’s gift for you! Photography tips in English. =)

The rule of thirds. The basics of composition.

Thank you for these, very helpful. I have been doing photography for over 30 years and recently decided I would like to teach my children about it but have been struggling to get the information across to them – mainly because I’m not a teacher. This has proved a huge help, again I say thank you!
Thank you, Mark
