Photography, camera operating, video recording lessons.

I am a Slovak professional freelance photographer and videographer based in Brussels. I specialize in event photography and in capturing human motion with more than 8 years of a professional career. In the beginning, I was a self-educated photographer, but in 2016 I graduated and got a BA degree in Photography from a University in the UK.

I teach a hands-on class. We go through theory and directly apply it in practice. I live close to a large park, where we can find all kinds of subjects. From landscapes, portraits, abstracts, animals, night...

My aim is to provide a good knowledge for photographers from pre-productions all the way through production and offer some post-production techniques/tips as well.

There is a lot to learn! I believe in a constant education myself since the technology keeps on evolving.

I use Nikon DLSR and SLR cameras but the same principals apply to any kind of DSLR, SLR, mirrorless cameras.

Extra information

I can provide equipment, however I would love to help you advance with your own camera.

Technical and creative photography for beginners and enthusiasts
Photography allows us to look at the world differently and to express ourselves without using our most common means of communication: words. My teaching method is simple: first, we identify together what you are looking for. Are you new to photography? Let's cover the basics of settings, photography theory, and get some inspiration before we hit the field. Want to hone your skills? I can offer you valuable advice on taking photos. And I can also push you to your limits with more intense methods, such as the challenge of 500 photos per week, which will allow you to learn very quickly.

Any age and experience is welcome. I am a qualified art & design teacher for secondary age students in Scotland, and a first class graduate (with honours) from The University of Edinburgh Fine Art programme.

Maxime
Graduated from INRACI and Master in writing at ULB, I will be happy to share my teaching and my experiences with you.
My method is to trade as much as possible. I want to try to better understand your point of view or your way of conceiving your project. I will recommend movies to watch to arouse your curiosity. I will also give you a certain analytical basis, to better identify the devices and methods to achieve them. The art of cinema is often to play with codes, for that you must first master them. I will try to teach you to take a step back from your own project and to accept an outside opinion. Regarding video editing, my method is to take examples of short films / audiovisual projects, and put yourself into practice. Editing certainly needs a little theory, but it can be learned above all by practicing. So I will teach you certain methods and certain precepts to have to master. I will mainly follow your project (s).

Adapted to your needs and always aiming for a good understanding. Philosophy has always been the pet peeve of most students, but you are completely lost in Nietzsche's reasoning or Bergson seems great but you do not know why, these courses (I hope) will allow you to to see a little more clearly in this ocean of ideas more abstract than the others. Amateur photographer wanting to embark on the artistic meanders of the "Manuel" mode of your camera or aspiring journalist eager to make the pictures speak, it is with great pleasure that I share my passion for photography and my knowledge in terms of communication social! I am also willing to teach you the basics of post-processing with photoshop and illustrator (Adobe).

Photography classes, Photoshop and Lightroom for all levels.
Photography is nowadays spent on something more than the act of taking the picture only. It is thus necessary to master a whole range of computer tools in order to obtain the desired results. I offer you photography classes, as well as everything that is post-production on the computer (photoshop, lightroom, etc.) to help you progress quickly in the field of photography. For my part, I have been a photographer for almost 7 years. During this period I worked many photography jobs, through photoshoots, concerts, parties, and much more. What excites me the most is usually travel photography (mountains, nature, cities), as well as portraits.

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.
