Digital Photography Lessons For all levels and ages!

Interested in starting out or improving your photography? Learn in 1-on-1 personalized online lessons!

My name is Marco, I have been a photographer focused in nature photography for over 12 years. By working together we can explore the three core aspects of photography: Visualization (Artistic part, learning to see), Camera work (Instrumental part), and Editing & Printing (Final performance/publication).

It is my goal to work conscientiously with you and help in any way I can as you develop further as a photographer.

In this course, we will learn the matter from the ground up in a highly customized and individual way. My goal is to teach you to "see" with the mind's eye and be able to share this through your photographs. After all, that is the point, to share our love for this craft and our interest in the subject matter.

No special equipment necessary! Although more advanced students will prefer to have a camera with fully manual controls available. I can advice on how to acquire one without breaking the bank.

We will always have viewing sessions and plenty of discussions about music, art, and literature as well.

The course is suitable for absolute beginners up to advanced students and adult learners. All ages are welcome!

The course can be done in Spanish as well.

Spanish lesson (without latine accent). Native teacher, from Madrid.
If u are looking for : - Native teacher: You need to choose carefully your Spanish teacher, because even In Spain we have a lot of differents accents. I’m from Madrid so mine neutral accent. Imagine learn Spanish and later discover that your accent is not good!! - Cheap price: my lessons are cheap, because I’m finding a lot of difficulties learning Dutch, but some people is helping me too much! and if you really want to learn Spanish, my motivation is not make lot of money with you. - Enjoy while you are learning . If you have some fun, if we can speak about something interested for both of us, we enjoy with the lessons and you will learn faster. Call me because I have all of this for! I can go to your place, and I have rotative schedules in my job, so I can adapt to all needs. Also you can come to my home too. I add the category investing, because if u are interested on this topic, we can adapt the lesson on this direction (I have an investment account, and I really enjoy speaking about it). And I also add photography, I worked on this more than 6 years, and I have a Dron and I enjoy too much flying and filming places with it. Note: I’m also interested in learn Dutch (I speak English and Spanish, but my Dutch level is still low), so if you are native Dutch speaker, and want to learn Spanish we can interchange lessons! Even without money on the deal!!

Learn 3D Art with me ! Create a demo reel that employers will pay attention to with the help of an industry senior (suitable for beginners)
Hello, my name is William. As of today, I’ve been working for 11 years in the animation series and film industry as Lead and Senior Character artist, Lead and Senior Environment artist, CG generalist and CG supervisor. I understand the challenges associated with getting noticed by studios as a beginner who want to step into the industry and I’d like to provide my help. This is a consulting and supportive course for students and artists interested in breaking into the animation, video game, VFX and commercials industry. This is not suitable for any professional work, as I am surely not going to do any 3D work for you :) The course will be tailor-made, which means that I will assist and advise you with the best possible hints and tips based on your current skills and current portfolio. I will provide you with personalized feedback to help you boost your demo reel as close as possible to the standards of the industry for you to catch the attention of recruiters and hopefully getting you a job ! The software used should be free like Blender or Unreal Engine but I can also provide help within Maya if you can afford a license for yourself. The general idea is to provide guidance to level-up to a large and accurate knowledge for you to keep progressing with your preferred software of choice. This course is suitable for perfect beginners and hobbyists who want to turn professional. I can guide you through the numerous software out there and help you pick an industry standard and advise you on the skills you need to grow in order to create or boost your portfolio. I am a calm person with a good temperament and will try to provide best feedback for you, let’s have fun and create together!

Art & Creativity: From basic skills to elaborating narratives
I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style. For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

Jacey
Visual Arts: digital arts, oil and acrylic painting, and drawing
Every class is suited towards your skill level and needs. If you're interested in digital art, you can learn how to create digital arts using Krita, a free digital arts software that I highly recommend for it's tools and features similar to that of Photoshop's. If you already experimented on your own software, I will help you with rendering, anatomy, and composition. If you're interested in painting, I can provide materials if needed. I am experienced with both oil painting and acrylic painting. I can help you create both Fine Arts, or illustration. About me: Hello, my name is Jacey and I'm currently attending NYU to get my certification to teach visual arts K-12. The reason I want to become an art teacher is to help students develop their own style. Everybody has their own habits and tendencies when making art, and I want to help you thrive using your own style– or, if you want to become the master of realism and copying, I can help with that too. Every artists has their own goals! I also believe in creating art as a way of a stress-reliever. If you'd like to do your own thing while having someone to listen to, I can create art by your side and talk about you!

Adam
