Special and exclusive course with the famous Shula: Model photo model: how to pose in front of the camera?
When I started photography as a photo model, I was curious to see what it could do. For some, they are afraid to expose themselves, to reveal themselves, to show themselves as they are, their deep nature. I was able to discover facets of my person through the photo shoots and discover that I could give a vivid emotion in a static photograph of nature. Having had experiences with various photographers and in all areas of photography, I want to give the opportunity to other people to have the confidence and ease to pose in front of the camera, in front of the flash, in front of people who fix you for hours and stand up to the demands of professional photographers. It will be largely coaching, self-reflection and personal development. There will be theory and then practice.

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.

Learn everything you ever wanted to know about your own camera
If you have been using a camera or mobile phone for a long time or you have just bought or been given a new one and you have never dared to shoot in manual mode or you want to learn more or try new things, these classes are ideal for you. Together we will go over all the technical and narrative points so that you can get the most out of your camera and be able to express and document everything that attracts you and makes you think or reflect. In a didactic and playful way you will have the necessary tools to start creating more visually attractive images as you always wanted to do. You will start to see at another level and life will start to seem like a constant movie where everything happens around you. Why can't I create blur? How do I change the color of my photo? Why is my image grainy? How do I avoid a blurry image? But my photo didn't turn out well at all! We will solve these and many more questions together by learning basic and advanced techniques using fun exercises. Light measurement, movement control, focus and blur, color, composition, depth of focus, image quality, color temperature, contrast and much more will be some of the dozens of points to be covered. If you want to get started or would like to know more details or have any questions, you can contact me by writing me a message here
