Trusted teacher: As an experienced teacher I teach photography and image editing. I learn camera technology, work with compact and studio flash units and work out concepts and my own style. I teach beginners, experienced photographers and professionals. I help companies set up and set up a photo studio and train staff to become a professional photographer. We make a suitable lesson program depending on your experience and wishes. We also have a number of courses in which we teach you the basic techniques of photography. We work with supportive beamer presentations and readers in which the treated lesson components are clearly described. Below are a few examples of these courses: Photography with your Smartphone Would you like to learn more about photography with your Smartphone, Tablet or Compact Camera, then this is your chance. In this introduction course we cover the various institutions in 3 hours to take even better photos. We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results. In addition to technology, we are also talking about the composition, atmosphere and content of your photos. You learn how to make beautiful portraits and how you can best photograph a landscape. You learn how to control the color and brightness of your photo. We look at Apps to further expand the capabilities of your SmartPhone or Tablet and to edit, archive and share your photos with others. Basic Photography Course In this course you will learn the most important techniques of the digital camera. We cover the shutter speed, the aperture, and the ISO setting. We work with motion blur and the focusing system. You learn to adjust the brightness and color of your photo and you assess the photos using the histogram and high light indicator.

We discuss photo printing via the photo shop or website. We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results. In addition to technology, we are also talking about the composition, atmosphere and content of your photos. Portrait photography In this course you learn the different aspects of portrait photography. We work with existing light and learn how you can beautifully illuminate a model in the studio with artificial light. You learn to set a good white balance and to choose the best position and objective. You will of course learn to look closely at the composition and directing your model. Because even photos that look spontaneous at first sight often require direction from the photographer. In the reader that comes with the course, the various techniques of photography and image editing are clearly described so that you can get started with this at home. Product photography In this course you learn to photograph objects. For example your own artworks for your presentation folder or products for your own web store. You learn to set a good white balance and to choose the best position and objective. For example, you learn how to illuminate jewelry and other 3D objects so that they are beautifully spatially added. We also handle the reproduction of paintings and drawings. In principle we work with artificial light in the studio, but you also learn how you can achieve a very good result without expensive studio lighting. We import, organize and edit JPG and Raw files. We discuss the need for color management, the different file formats and the printing of photos Working with flash units In this course you will learn how to take beautiful pictures with a flash. We work with the built-in flash, compact flash units and studio flash units. You learn the influence of aperture, shutter speed and ISO speed when working with a flash. With fill-in flashes we mix existing light and flash light. You learn to adjust the shade and color of the light. We work with various tools to improve the flash. You learn to work with exposure compensation, slow sync, second shutter curtain and the Master and Slave function. We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results.

Trusted teacher: ABOUT THE TEACHER Martin is a professional photographer and photojournalist. Through his numerous personal projects, he is particularly interested in youth and geo-environmental issues. The 21st century and the upheavals that accompany it particularly fascinate him. During 2017 and 2018, he carried out numerous projects in South-East Asia where he was able to work for seven months. The most important of these is entitled The Faces of the Mekong. Using the mythical Mekong River and its resources as a common thread, it provides a broad perspective on the geo-environmental issues related to development in the Indochinese peninsula (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand). He has also focused on Vietnamese and Laotian youth through the prism of street sports and urban culture. In 2019, he travelled to Hong Kong to cover, among other things, the uprising of the pro-democracy movement, which earned him a nomination for the Bayeux Prize for War Correspondents in the Young Reporter category. In parallel to his projects, Martin also responds to commissions from the press, NGOs and private companies. His work is regularly published in the French and international press (Le Monde, Libération, The Washington Post, Le Figaro, Vice, Reporterre, Mr Mondialisation, Fisheye Magazine). They have been awarded several times, including the François Chalais Young Reporter of the Year Award 2015 in the photo category. He was a finalist for the Grand Prix Paris Match du Photoreporter étudiant and a winner of the Young Talents Photo Prize by fotofever. These projects also lead to exhibitions and conferences. PRACTICAL OUTING For a more concrete and playful practice of photography, this outing will allow us to work on different aspects of photography: - Mastering your camera, whatever it is. If you practice photography with your smartphone, you are also welcome. - Work on framing and composition. - Using light as raw material - Learning about street photography. - Post-production of photographs on Lightroom (only on request). IN-DEPTH TRAINING The training consists in accompanying you in the development of your photographic projects and in the setting up of your activity of photographer. This training concerns photography as I practice it. That is to say, photography that speaks of the world in which we live and which, at the same time, is creative with a real aesthetic research. In other words, we are halfway between photo reportage, documentary photography and artistic photography. This programme is tailored to each student and is divided into two main parts 1) The creative process : - Developing personal photographic writing - Preparing and carrying out projects - Assimilate the photographic narrative and the codes of photoreportage - Knowing how to be a versatile photographer to diversify your sources of income - Responding to a photographic commission 2) An activity that is a source of income in the long term: - Communicate well with the right tools - Finding funding for your projects - Sell your projects and photographs through various channels - Mastering productivity techniques to be efficient while remaining independent - Find clients and trigger concrete orders - Multiply your sources of income With this training, I will be at your side to accompany you in the different stages of this process. Together we will set your concrete short and long term goals and we will work day by day on the best method to reach them. In concrete terms, the training consists of working meetings by video conference or in person. This training does not require a particular age or level of education. Nevertheless, certain prerequisites are necessary such as a good general culture (to understand the world in which we live), a certain maturity as well as a basic technical mastery of photography.

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.

I recently had the privilege of being taught by an exceptional finance analysis instructor. Her teaching style is truly commendable. She possesses an extraordinary ability to convey complex financial concepts with utmost clarity and patience. Her dedication to ensuring i comprehend the material is truly admirable. She consistently goes above and beyond, taking the time to address individual questions and providing additional support until ei feel confident in understanding. What sets her apart is not only her excellent teaching skills, but also her profound professionalism and extensive experience in finance analysis. This is evident in every lecture and assignment. Her practical insights and real-world examples enriched our learning experience and provided valuable context to theoretical concepts.

Adobe Photoshop for everyone and for everything - Amsterdam (Amsterdam)
Piotr
I was very pleased with the inspired lesson Piotr gave me. He prepared his lesson, was accurate, full with new inspiration and very acquainted with various technics in Photoshop. He could communicate ( for me at my level) easily and was bringing me through several difficulties. Beside that he showed an deep insight in artistic approach of my artwork. Definitely worth it, Karin Hovius. Only I don't know if this is for the very beginner, you should be a little bit more advanced. But I am convinced that he can also manage beginners.

Davide
I had my first Italian lesson with Davide on 24/9/21. My first impression was very good because he does a very good assessment before he starts of your level and of your goals and based on that he adopts his learning approach perfectly yo your needs. I give Davide a 5 rating after one lesson and would be very surprised if my view of him will change. On top of his ability as a teacher, he is a very nice and modest person. He knows how to drive a conversation and seems have a lot of patience! Looking forward to the next lesson!
