In the first lesson, Antoine quickly understood my expectations for the course and then taught me exactly those things at the level that matched me. To be continued!
Very thankful that our paths have crossed, Antoine is a mature, approachable young guy who knows a lot about filmmaking and writing screenplays. He has helped me out tremendously with my screenplay! He knows his stuff and has inspired me a lot.

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.

Fine Art/Art & Design/Photography (A Level/GCSE and beyond)To succeed in Fine Art, we need to open our ways of thinking. Oftentimes, we can feel stuck, lost or uninspired. In this class, I will teach you how to move forward in these moments; how to produce a healthy momentum in yourself to find excitement in your projects and push through them to the finishing point.
Fine Art is unlike any subject in that it really comes from the individual. There is no "right way", but if there is no discernible path, where do we go? I can show you how to tap into your inner artist and create and move through projects with a self-direction that will build your confidence, ignite passion and open unlimited ways to express yourself regardless of technical ability.
Is there a project you are currently working on that you are stuck with? Are you feeling uninspired in your art journey and want some new life injected into it? Is your confidence in your abilities low? Do you feel you are wasting your time with art but you really love it when you are doing it? Are you studying and repeatedly getting similar feedback/marks but are unsure how to take it to the next level? I can help you.
