FREE EDITION

“How to Become a Photojournalist?” — FREE EDITION is a set of 80 narrative, mobile interactive flashcards designed especially for beginners who want to enter the world of photojournalism without stress or overwhelm. Each card contains a short, accessible idea, a key principle, or a photojournalistic insight that helps you understand the profession and take your first step toward intentional learning. The flashcards are interactive — you can scroll through them in a linear way, card by card, or explore them randomly, depending on what you need in the moment. Each chapter naturally leads to the next, creating a smooth learning rhythm. This is not a full course, but a solid, lightweight foundation that prepares you for our full educational program in the Camerapixo Press Photojournalism Academy.

The FREE EDITION includes narrative text and a short, few-second audio narration on a few cards — a gentle voice that reads the key idea and offers a brief reflection or action prompt. It’s a subtle addition that helps you remember and reinforce the most important concepts. It’s a taste of what the extended PRO VERSION offers.

The cards are optimized for phones and can be saved to your home screen as a quick-access app — just add them to your Home Screen so they open instantly and work like your own mini educational app. If you prefer a larger screen, you can download a PDF prepared in a layout that’s friendly for computers and tablets. Access to the FREE EDITION is completely free, and the password can be found on the Message Board.

TECHNOLOGY & NAVIGATION — QRIOUS CARDS (FREE EDITION)

The set runs on QRious Cards technology, powered by our new Flashcard system designed specifically for our academy platform. Each card is displayed in a mobile format with convenient navigation: NEXT, PREVIOUS, and RANDOM, allowing you to go through them in order or jump in spontaneously. The cards follow a consistent format and are assigned to specific sections, so you can learn in a logical sequence or move between chapters depending on your needs. Each section represents a different stage of the photojournalist’s path, creating a complete, intuitive picture of the profession.
