Cours de persan : Avec Faress, vous aurez un cours sur mesure. Sympathique et ouvert, il s'adapte aux besoins de l'élève, expliquant et répétant patiemment. On voit qu'il aime le persan et qu'il aime enseigner.
Faress is a good teacher. He is very patient and kind !
I will help you get acquainted with all Photoshop options, features, shortcuts. I have had my own photography office in Lebanon, where I have utilized Photoshop on a daily basis in order to edit photos. I have been working on Photoshop since 2013. You will be off as a Photoshop expert in no time. Classes are given, online outdoor, or at the Student's place.

I am a native Arabic speaker. I am originally from Lebanon. I can provide you with guidelines for Standard Arabic grammar, syntax, semantics, phonetics, structure. or help you practice Lebanese dialect. Classes could be given outdoors or at the Student's place.

Mastering Photography projects in Austria and beyond, Visual Storytelling, Discover funding, and finding the right audience for your works!
How do I start a photo project? How do I make a good edit? How do I make an exhibition? How do I make a photo book? How do I prepare/register for a grant? The best way to learn is by doing. My method of teaching is based on what the student requires and wants to learn. Together we look at what you want to learn or what you want to experiment in. These can be the technical aspects of photography, the structure of a project, or, for example, the making of a photo book. It is therefore important to tailor the lessons to the student's goal. An interesting perk is that I have a network of photographers and designers who might also come in handy. Don't have a photo project in mind yet? Then I have very nice assignments that can inspire you to find your way as a photographer. About me: I am a photographer who graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. I also used to teach photography in both the bachelor's and master's programs at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. I have extensive experience in curating exhibitions and creating photography projects and exhibitions as you can see from my CV below. Additionally, I am a co-founder of Baobab Magazine, where we collaborate with students to produce a photography magazine. Through this venture, I have gained valuable experience in organizing exhibitions, workshops, and publications.
