BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY FROM SCRATCH WITH DSRL OR PROFESSIONAL CAMERA

37 $ /h

Hello, I am Melbin publicist, communicator, speaker and photographer.

Who is this course for?
For beginners with an interest in photography and who want to express themselves through images.

Requirements to take the course
1. To take this course you will need a lot of passion and any type of digital camera that allows you to change the lens

2. To post-produce your images, you will need a computer with Adobe Photoshop (you can download the free trial from Adobe's website).

What will you learn in this course?

You will start by meeting Melbin, who will tell you about his experience as a photographer and teacher. He will also show you some of the artists who inspire him and encourage him to continue taking pictures.

Next, you will see the different types of cameras and lenses, identifying their pros and cons, and how they differ depending on their objective. Next, you'll learn what's inside your camera: the sensor and pixel counter. You will complete the unit learning how to take care of your material.

You will study in a summary and didactic way the most important parts of a camera: sensor, lens, diaphragm, trigger and shutter. Melbin will introduce you to the concept of the exhibition.

You will continue getting to know your camera's menu, studying the different shooting modes, size and format, white balance, etc.

You will learn about the types of sharpening you can apply to your photos and how you can control the exposure.

Then, it will be time to take photos. You will start by taking a group photo with a series of figures in a row, which will help you understand the concepts of depth of field, focus and exposure.

You'll learn how to take timed shots by taking a self-portrait, which Melbin will use to help you better understand focus, black and white settings, and high and low key in your photos.

We'll talk about warm tones and moving people in your photos, to explain about freezing and bursts.

Finally, you will see the different lenses of a camera, which will help you understand how an angle lens, a telephoto lens, their perspectives and depths of field work.

Finally, you will see how to edit your photos in a simple way. You will learn the differences between the available software and learn how to import, organize and retouch your photos in Adobe Photoshop. Finally, you'll discover the best way to export your images, depending on your purpose, and how to share them with the world!

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

In this course, you will learn how to scan any object using Reality Capture software. This efficient and powerful software was first used for the preservation of archaeological objects and historical monuments, but is now used for video games, VFX and virtual reality, as it offers tools and results of a impressive quality, all in an easy-to-use interface.

In this course, you will be able to learn:
-How does photogrammetry work?
-How to take suitable photos
-How to prepare these photos for their use in the software
-How to use these photos to reconstruct an object in 3D and apply a realistic texture to it
-How to optimize scans for custom use (games, movies, etc.)

Gradually, we will solidify these skills to learn how to build a library of highly realistic objects based on high resolution scans.

It is also possible to present your projects to me and to obtain personalized help on them.

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

Drawing is a fun activity. It's very interesting to see how the lines take shape as you draw them, and it's also satisfying when you take the finished drawing home.

This workshop is aimed at people of all ages, from children to adults who love to draw and want to learn tricks and tips for drawing.

You can bring anything you like and would like to draw, whether it's a manga, a photograph, or even the actual object if you can bring it with you. If you don't have anything in particular, we'll look at the materials I've prepared together and I'll give you tips on how to draw!

You can draw on paper with a pencil or marker, or if you have a tablet, that's fine too.

Hi !
it's a long time since I am working as a photographer, a bit more than 20 years and I really love my profession.
Photography is both a work and a passion.
I am doing fashion photography, portraits and still lifes. I enjoy the studio work.
I am also passionate about exterior photography, travel images, pictures done in nature.
I can teach you on an online class different photography subjects depending on your needs.
We could go through the very basics of photography, see how a digital or film camera works, the aperture, time, ISO speed subjects.
On an online class we could also do some more creative things like PORTRAIT techniques, or if you have FLASH lights and want to learn more we could go through it. We could also try Light Painting, with a long exposure using a torch light held by hands .

If you're already taking pictures, I'd be happy to see your work. In the last times I am personally trying to make my portfolios a bit differently than my habits. I am trying to mix them with descriptions of the images and I think people appreciate that. I'd be happy to share ideas and see what you are doing.

As a freelance sports photographer, I've covered events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the GT World Challenge Europe, the Tour de France, GP Explorer 3, and football matches. Drawing on this experience, I offer a course for beginners and intermediate photographers who want to learn how to capture action with precision and creativity.

Being able to use Photoshop opened a whole new world up for me and it can for you too. Ranging from physical design, such as posters, flyers or book covers to digitial design used for social media posts or video thumbnails, Photoshop is an amazing skill to have under your belt.

Having a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design as well as industry experience, I would love to show people secret methods and tools which have allowed me to create the work that I do. If there are any design inspirations you have that you'd like to try and replicate or you just want to create basic designs, I can definitely help.

My name is Noah, and with me you’ll receive personal mentoring focused on developing artistic series, visual language, and coherent photographic projects. We will work with your personal vision, helping you find your own language and strengthen it.

I hold a diploma in Photography as well as in Ceramics Design. I have worked for almost eight years in the movie industry, both as a props maker and as an on-set photographer. Alongside this and my own personal projects, I also worked on fashion collaborations, including 3D scanning and multimedia techniques. So if you feel like mixing things up a bit and are drawn to fine art approaches, you are in the right place :)

I am happy to work with adults who already have their own practice, university students who want to strengthen their uniqueness or clarify their interests, as well as students applying to university. Let me know where and which department you are applying to, and we can build your portfolio together.

I also work with children who love creative activities, as well as with kids who may struggle to relax, express themselves, or connect with their emotions through creative processes.

Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions — I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

(If by any chance you are Hungarian, the class can be held in Hungarian as well!)
