Improve your photography: learn how photos are judged and revise camera essentials

Von 20 $ /Std

If you want to improve your photography, send me some of your latest images before the class. In the lesson, you will begin by describing how and why you took the images. Then we will start discussing and assessing the image in terms of the assessment criteria used in judging photographic competitions.

If necessary we can revise digital photography essentials (i.e. the use of manual settings on a digital camera) although it's perfectly fine if you are using your mobile phone and aren't interested in using manual settings).

This class is in English only and is suitable for English levels B2-C2.

Über mich

I live in Cape Town, South Africa, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and a photographer's dream for natural landscapes as well as street photography. I completed a 6 month course in professional photography in 2018 and I have taken courses in the assessment of photography, so I judge photographic competitions from time to time. Photography classes are conducted in English only so a B2-C2 English level learner should be comfortable.

I am also an English language teacher (MA, BSc, CELTA) and can help you learn or practise English either for general interest or exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Cambridge A2-C2). I offer support in French and Italian where necessary for those learning English as a second language. I have pronunciation courses too for those who want to improve their fluency and listening comprehension.
