Visual Arts / Drawing / Photography (techniques and general knowledge)

From 48 € /h

My courses are designed for adults, students, and young people alike who wish to develop their artistic practice and explore their ideas further. I would like to guide you in building your own artistic world by combining various techniques and knowledge, according to your needs. In my courses, I also offer instruction on how to talk about your own work and find the right words. My teaching approach is tailored to each student, whether they are in preparatory classes for art schools, studying art, are self-taught, or are a professional artist.
- Drawing
- Composition
- Photography
- Image processing (Photoshop)
- The history of art
- Conceptualization

I taught drawing and composition for several years at Gobelins, the School of Image (2020-2024), and was a mentor twice as part of the VU' Agency Mentorship Program (supporting a young photographer for a year - 2023 and 2025). I have also worked extensively with diverse audiences, from children to the elderly, notably in workshops conducted at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP).

I enjoyed my years teaching at the university level and working with groups, but today I prefer a more personal, targeted approach to my students through private lessons. I am caring, patient, demanding, and a great listener to the people I work with, regardless of their level or age.

Extra information

The classes take place in my workshop, in Les Lilas.

About Me

Graduated from the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris in photography, after a preparatory year for art schools at Atelier de Sèvres, I am an artist and works with galleries, institutions, agencies.

I have been giving private lessons and workshops for several years: silver and digital photography (concept development, technical basics of studio or daylight shots, editing, Photoshop processing), drawing, writing presentation texts for projects, bases of art history and photography.

I adapt to the needs of my students (children, adolescents or adults) to help them develop their own writing. The courses are developed according to them and their request (a particular project, a file for an art school competition, an introduction to such a technique, editing for a book, book for portfolio readings etc.). All levels and ages are accepted.

In no case do I ask a student to develop a writing close to mine. We seek together its singularity and its way of expressing itself, then we work to present it, to argue it in front of the interlocutors whom it will meet.

Graduated from a master's degree at La Cambre and a final year student at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, I offer a multidisciplinary pedagogy aimed at developing the curiosity of the student while improving his level in art. Through this desire to emulate, I would like to help the student as much as possible to find what they like in drawing and art in general, what are their zones of comfort but also of discomfort in order to be able, in the best of all, assert a graphic identity specific to oneself.
I am not particularly in an academic perspective, this no longer being the challenges of contemporary art. However, I think it is always good to invest in observation drawing because if there is not much sense in wanting to imitate nature, it is essential to have good bases to interpret it. , represent it.
I also offer courses in comics / graphic novels, learning to write stylistics and scriptwriting and drawing or painting. As for illustration, could offer books or stories to the student that should be illustrated, so as to stimulate literary curiosity while devoting himself to drawing.
So I would suggest to the student to create an artistic project or a comic strip in which he could flourish and be in contact with various drawing, painting or even writing techniques.

Based on long-term experience among all audiences and in-depth knowledge of traditional or modern tools, I like to bring together all these areas to experience Art in its beautiful part of creation.

My course is focused on the desires for expression and research formulated by the students.
Nothing pleases me more than allowing you to access what attracts you most in the narrative image (comics, illustration, Concept Art).

We will address together both character issues (anatomy, stylization, etc.) and settings (perspective, landscapes, etc.).

I put the desire of my students at the heart of the learning process.

Having studied at the Ateliers de Sèvres and graduated from Central Saint Martins in Womenswear Fashion Design, I have worked for major brands such as Dior, Kenzo, Fendi and Bulgari.

The courses I offer here are a help that I myself would have liked to have when I was a student as well as when I entered working life.

-The creation and presentation of a solid and authentic portfolio

-The creation of projects consistent with your own artistic language

-The use of various manual or digital tools (Photoshop, Procreate -ipad) through exercises

-Creation of moodboards, iconographic research, color palettes

-Preparation for entrance interviews to art schools, internships or work

-Coaching linked to gaining confidence in one's personal style and the demands of the stylist's profession

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 different than my habits. I'd be happy to share ideas and see what you are doing.

Having worked in an art studio where I gave lessons to children (from 6 to 13 years old), young teenagers (from 14 to 16 years old) and adults (all ages), I now offer my services to accompany your child or teenager in learning different drawing and painting techniques, and to give them the necessary tools to progress and practice independently.
Having studied art history, I like to propose themes by introducing an artistic movement or an artist within their context before tackling a practical subject. If the student prefers to focus solely on learning drawing or painting techniques, that is perfectly possible, although an artistic dimension will still be present, if only through images of artworks, which I consider important for illustrating the techniques.
I offer lessons with a minimum duration of one hour and, in order to promote effective progress, I favour working on the same theme and the same technique over several sessions, while adapting to the expectations and pace of the student.

A certain level of knowledge is required to begin.
I will guide you from A to Z in a creative, simple, and enjoyable training program. I didn't necessarily want to delve into the intention, but life offers a true learning experience along the way through art.

Each session is filled with artistic, creative, and relaxing techniques in a friendly and open-minded atmosphere. Furthermore, this course is an art therapy that helps you express yourself, relaxes you, builds your self-confidence, and is also fun.
