    I have been practicing photography for a few years. Beginner or initiate, I will be happy to share my teaching with you.

    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.

    About Me

    I was 17 when I started studying cinematography at HELB - Ilya Prigogine. During his school career, I made several short films. Most of them were short fiction films but in 2018, in its second year, I wrote my first documentary - with its future DOP - which is "Capitalized Sin". In 2019, my documentary was finished.
    In 2020, he obtained his bachelor's degree. I'm in pre-production for his next film, a docu-fiction. I am currently preparing a Masters in cinematographic writing and analysis at ULB.

    Education

    - Master 1 at HELB in Cinematographic Writing and Analysis

    - Bachelor degree at HELB in cinematography in 2020

    - Graduated in Sciences 8h and Mathematics 6h, at the College Jean XXIII in 2017

    - Performed video editing for dedicated Internet productions since 2012 (I have traveled, seen the changes and evolved with)

    Experience / Qualifications

    Before my studies, I edited for 8 years on the internet, on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram (recently). Master 1 at ULB in Cinematography Writing and Analysis. Graduated from my studies in cinema, and above all director of ten short films.
    I have never ceased to be passionate about audiovisual and photography. My gaze grew with my age, my studies and my experience.
    My method is to trade as much as possible. I want to try to better understand your point of view or your way of conceiving your project. I will recommend movies to watch to arouse your curiosity. I will also give you a certain analytical basis, to better identify the devices and methods to achieve them. The art of cinema is often to play with codes, for that you must first master them. I will try to teach you to take a step back from your own project and to accept an outside opinion. Regarding video editing, my method is to take examples of short films / audiovisual projects, and put yourself into practice. Editing certainly needs a little theory, but it can be learned above all by practicing. So I will teach you certain methods and certain precepts to have to master. I will mainly follow your project (s).
