Photoshop and Digital Art for students, artists and photographers

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

Remember the goal - you want to make good art. A good critique will give you new insight, new direction, career advice and energy to do this! Where am I going with this? Too much or not enough? Learn to define your position, your place and your market. I will offer perspective on your strengths and constructive feedback on what needs to be improved. There are ways to inspire what is working and how to improve your weaker points that builds confidence, technique and style. Editing is key - colour, form, aesthetic, emotion, influence and pace. I can help you understand exciting trends in Contemporary Art and that relevance to Art History. I will provide you with the resources to dig deeper and show you your next steps. At the end of the critique you will feel equipped and excited to get to work. Recommended booking - 3 classes including introduction, follow up and final presentation.
‘Analogue Photography’ refers to photography using an analogue camera and film. A roll of film is loaded into the camera and the magic begins once you start clicking: light interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is recorded. The pictures collected on your film roll come to life when the film is processed. ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED: 35MM CAMERA, FILM AND CHEMISTRY INCLUDED On this course I will teach you the basics of analogue photography - old school film photography. You will learn how to load film, take accurate light readings for correct exposures, you will learn about depth of field and shutter speed. Once you have taken your first roll of film you will then learn how to develop this film. Other students may wish to work with pinhole photography and learn how to build their own cameras. minimum booking 4 places

Start creating your own digital artworks with help from a professional illustrator

(Digital) Art classes for art lovers and beginners.
Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it! Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city. I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational. I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across. I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

creative project monitoring - artistic direction, concept, tailor-made brainstorming
Whether your interest revolves around photography, graphics or any form of visual creation, the concept, the overall vision of the project is often difficult to implement. I offer you a follow-up, a sharing of ideas tailored to your current project, as a starting point or in re-mastering. My technical skills can also be allies in our discussions so that you can push your creative subject beyond its limits, make it grow and find the most appropriate end point for the message you wish to convey. You are on a mandate but need an external point of view, this course can be a good step back to move forward with more confidence.

Connect with nature through photography
The camera has long since become my best ally when I go out into nature, and I no longer contemplate going without it. Capturing details, the light of the sunset, the inhabitants of the forest, or the immensity of the night sky is my way of being present and connecting with the environment that surrounds me. After working as a Northern Lights guide and photographer, I have noticed that quite a few people come with their cameras hoping to capture an aurora borealis, but without any prior experience in night photography. This art requires patience, technique and practice, especially when it comes to the Northern Lights where the light is constantly changing. It is because of this experience that I decided to open this service. Whether you are planning a trip, an outing into nature, or simply want to learn how to get the most out of your camera, I will be happy to help you. Do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
