Photo workshop “Getting started with Lightroom” (Beginner / amateur level)

These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting. Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive. The objective of this training is to be able to: - Analyze and dissect a text - Create, develop and embody a character - Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play - Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity (...) Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. - As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

Hi! I am passionate about teaching and encouraging my students to tap into their own unique potential. I can help provide technical training with painting being my speciality in acrylics, oils, watercolour, gouache and ink. I believe the most fulfilling experiences with making art comes from an innate place of joy, playfulness and experimenting. I can provide a calm, relaxed and encouraging environment, allowing you to explore and hone in on skills you didn't realise you had or maybe to work on skills you already know you like, but want to get better at. I am a practicing artist who has exhibited internationally and have worked for artists for over 7 years so I have vast knowledge on contemporary art and the art world. So whether it is institutions you wish to work with, sell work or to just make work, I will be able to share my experiences and insight with you.

I have been tutoring mathematics and physics for 10+ years, besides that also been teaching at professional Sound Design courses. I hold two degrees, one in Electrical Engineering, the other one in Electronic Music Composition. I am passionate in understanding the student's needs, and adopting the structure of the lessons towards what supports you best.

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.
