Photography on demand for beginners and enthusiasts

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
If you are at the beginning of your exploration of photography as one of your hobbies or a possible profession, you surely have many questions like these:

How does my camera work? Is it worth learning photography? What type of equipment should I buy?

My proposal is not a course in the strict sense of the word, but rather personalized mini workshops to respond to your particular concerns.

Depending on the level you are at, we can explore the following topics:

-Theory without mysteries
-Re-knowing your camera
-Finding inspiration (portrait, landscape, macro photography, etc.)
-Fundamentals in lighting
-Lightroom Basics
-Photoshop Basics

Before each session, you choose the topic you want to work on. In each session we will do a mix of theory and practice and you will have tasks to develop on your own and review in the next session.

The final objective is that you have elements of judgment and objective criteria to decide what your path in photography is and how far you want to go.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a photographer who thinks like a publicist and a publicist who thinks like a photographer. I combine my experience in the advertising industry with my passion for photography to create professional images of what makes a human being or an object unique.

I have learned photography on my own and by attending online and in-person workshops on topics such as lighting and wedding photography. Since 2022 I have been studying Photography at Fanshawe College in Canada, with the purpose of improving my skills and learning new things.

Fine Art/Art & Design/Photography (A Level/GCSE and beyond)
To succeed in Fine Art, we need to open our ways of thinking. Oftentimes, we can feel stuck, lost or uninspired. In this class, I will teach you how to move forward in these moments; how to produce a healthy momentum in yourself to find excitement in your projects and push through them to the finishing point. Fine Art is unlike any subject in that it really comes from the individual. There is no "right way", but if there is no discernible path, where do we go? I can show you how to tap into your inner artist and create and move through projects with a self-direction that will build your confidence, ignite passion and open unlimited ways to express yourself regardless of technical ability. Is there a project you are currently working on that you are stuck with? Are you feeling uninspired in your art journey and want some new life injected into it? Is your confidence in your abilities low? Do you feel you are wasting your time with art but you really love it when you are doing it? Are you studying and repeatedly getting similar feedback/marks but are unsure how to take it to the next level? I can help you.

I hold a PhD in Art and Communication with Photography as my field of specialism and a PGCE teaching certificate in Post Compulsory Education. At the same time I am a practising photographic artist with an interest in abstract photography. I have a comprehensive understanding of contemporary photographic practices and of theoretical approaches to the subject, and also have a strong technical grounding both in traditional and in digital processes. I am experienced in all stages of the development of photographic projects, from early conceptualisation through to printing and exhibiting.I have exhibited nationally and internationally in both solo and group shows. My selection for the Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2008 Exhibition in Liverpool and London is one highlight among them. As an artist and teacher I insist on the highest professional standards and I emphasise clear and direct communication and honesty throughout. I have been teaching photography since 2009. I offer private lessons to photography students and any other individuals who would be interested in 'how to'/technical skills sessions or in developing a photographic body of work and would be in need for some expert advice. Just get in touch with your request as your photography needs might vary from something small to something big and I will be happy to answer and help you. I am passionate about photography and about teaching everybody to learn how to `see` and `think` creatively through the lens of a camera but also without it!
