As a professional photographer who loves teaching, I make learning photography easy and fun for beginners. I focus on the basics like how to use your camera and understand important terms. In my classes, you'll get hands-on experience taking pictures and learn cool tricks with different lights and compositions. I believe practice makes perfect, so we'll do lots of fun activities. I also share my own experiences to help you get creative and find your own style. I'll teach you simple editing tricks too, so you can make your photos look even better. Overall, my goal is to make photography enjoyable and help beginners feel confident and inspired behind the lens!

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.

This class supports students who wish to enter the world of drawing or improve their drawing practice in the classical tradition. Students will learn to take a slow, thoughtful, methodical approach to observing light and form and depicting it on a surface using principles of shape, proportion and tone, and a balance of optical and conceptual knowledge. This class is suitable for beginner students who want to explore a new method of drawing, and also for those who are already familiar with drawing and wish to refine their skills.

Depending on your level, whether in mastery of your equipment but also in the editing tools, I will adapt to your level to better support you in your learning. My method is to exchange as much as possible. I want to try to better understand your point of view or your way of conceiving the project. I may be able to recommend photographers who could support your project. The art of photography is the art of point of view and intuition. Why this moment and not another, why wait and on the contrary trigger directly? Why work on this focal length? Why these colors or in B/W? I will strive to awaken and mature these essential questions to keep in mind when preparing your photos.

Photography courses aimed at people of different levels of knowledge: beginner, advanced, initiated. We will be able to cover all subjects, theory, understanding the functions of the camera, choice of lenses, working with flash, reporting, portraiture, architecture, landscape, still life, working in the studio and approach to lighting. Framing, postprocessing, archiving. Aesthetic analysis of the image, learning to select in your work the photos with the strongest content from a multitude of photographs.

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.
