Launched in June, the Manfrotto School of Excellence is a new online platform offering a range of resources for photographers looking to "access the experience and know-how of the world’s most famous photographers and videographers."

Users can log on to www.manfrottoschoolofexcellence.com and view a series of free training sessions of varying difficulty. Webinars and video seminars will also be accessible as well as tutorials in video and editorial format.

The school features professionals such as Bill Frakes, Roberto Bigano, Ami Elsius, Drew Gardner, Joe McNally, Marc de Tollenaere, Kristoff Ramon, David Duchemin, Jim Oltersdorf and Cliff Guy, and will focus on the most interesting topics and latest features in video and photography.

Manfrotto, manufacturer of photo, video and lighting support systems, are backing the project as part of their 'Corporate Social Responsibility programme'.

"It is just the thing for those who wish to take their skills to the next level and satisfy demanding customer expectations, or for hobbiests who want to pick up some tips to implement in their own creative world," say Manfrotto.

Articles currently online include advice from Kristof Ramon on how to photograph cyclo-cross in Belgium, while Teymur Madjderey talks of his experiences shooting on the streets of South Africa.
