Digital Photography for Beginners and Camera Operation Basics
These days photography is present in every aspect of our daily lives. We photograph more pictures than in every past point in history, yet how many of those images are good? Understanding the key elements of photography and camera operation can make all the difference between "just a photo" and a meaningful one.
With an experience of 15 years working as a professional photojournalist, my goal is to pass forward my knowledge and enthusiasm. It takes no more than a few meetings to notice the improvements in your photography.
Who is it for?
- If you are taking your first steps in the world of digital photography.
- If you recently got a new Digital camera and feel lost in the sea of options, configurations, and operations.
- If you just want to get better at taking photos of your next trip or some free time with the children or grandchildren.
I can guide you through the way to make much more from your newly purchased camera or even smartphone,
from the basic steps of the operation to the point you will be able to take beautiful and creative images.

Everything you need to know about Photoshop (individual course)Photoshop is the basic and most common professional tool for many directions in graphic design, so it is simply necessary for all beginners to study. Perhaps, at first glance, the program interface may seem complicated and incomprehensible, but in fact it is not so and after training anyone can quickly navigate in Photoshop.
I offer you an individual Photoshop study course for each student for any need. It doesn’t matter if you know the basics or not: I’ll explain to you everything that you don’t know depending on what you want to use Photoshop for. You can choose the direction, for example, for processing photos, drawing or editing and adding various fonts and text. We can start with a baseline or go straight to more advanced features. In addition to the main ones, we will touch upon such topics as 3D in Photoshop, render, scripts, automation and export.
I can teach you in German, English, Russian or Ukrainian. Unfortunately, my German level is not yet perfect, but I am constantly developing in this direction. If you have any questions, be sure to write to me :)

Online Resin and Texture Art classes. From beginner to Pro approach.I am an experienced texture art tutor, specializing in resin, acrylic colors, acrylic paste, and white cement techniques. Over the years, I have successfully trained students of different skill levels, helping them refine their artistic abilities and develop their unique styles. My work has been well-received in the art community, and I have conducted numerous workshops focused on creative expression through texture and resin art.
My approach is interactive and hands-on, ensuring that students get a practical learning experience rather than just theoretical knowledge. I believe in personalized guidance, where each student’s artistic journey is nurtured. Whether in 1-on-1 sessions or group classes, I encourage active participation, providing clear demonstrations and detailed feedback to help students master resin and texture art techniques with confidence.
I conduct online classes via Zoom or other platforms, ensuring a highly interactive and engaging learning experience. My teaching style focuses on two-way communication, where students can freely ask questions and receive real-time feedback. Depending on students' preferences and time zones, I offer both 1-on-1 and group sessions to cater to different learning needs.
While resin and texture art are open to all learners, I recommend my classes for adults aged 18+ due to the use of chemicals and materials that may not be suitable for children.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.
I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.
I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.
In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.
You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.
Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Idris
Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic languageI am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.
Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!
Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.
The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.
(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)
Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Photography Tutorials: Contemporary Image-Making and Experimental StorytellingThis online photography course is designed for anyone looking to build a more thoughtful, intentional approach to image-making. Whether you're starting out or refining your practice, the class focuses on photography as both a technical craft and a form of personal or documentary expression.
You'll be encouraged to develop your own visual language through a mix of technical guidance, creative exercises, and reflective assignments.
The course is designed to be accessible, supportive, and grounded in curiosity rather than perfectionism. You can work with any camera you have access to, including smartphones.
Ideal for artists, students, and anyone interested in using photography to explore the world around them with more clarity and intention.
I bring over 10 years photographic experience to the table, with both a BA (HONS) from UAL and MA degree in photography from the Royal College of Art. I am also happy to help with art school applications and crafting artist statements, regardless of artistic medium. I am particularly interested in engaging with people who work with writing and prose in their practice, or who are looking/seeking to incorporate this into their photography projects.
