Photography Tutorials: Contemporary Image-Making and Experimental Storytelling

A partir de 79.25 $ /h

This online photography course is designed for anyone looking to build a more thoughtful, intentional approach to image-making. Whether you're starting out or refining your practice, the class focuses on photography as both a technical craft and a form of personal or documentary expression.

You'll be encouraged to develop your own visual language through a mix of technical guidance, creative exercises, and reflective assignments.

The course is designed to be accessible, supportive, and grounded in curiosity rather than perfectionism. You can work with any camera you have access to, including smartphones.

Ideal for artists, students, and anyone interested in using photography to explore the world around them with more clarity and intention.

I bring over 10 years photographic experience to the table, with both a BA (HONS) from UAL and MA degree in photography from the Royal College of Art. I am also happy to help with art school applications and crafting artist statements, regardless of artistic medium. I am particularly interested in engaging with people who work with writing and prose in their practice, or who are looking/seeking to incorporate this into their photography projects.

Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!

Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.

I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.

I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Would you like to be able to illustrate the worlds and stories you imagine?

Do you want to learn how to create characters for a video game, animation, children's story, comic or in any format? Or would you like to be able to draw your favorite characters?

If you have those concerns, I would love to help you.

I like to focus the classes in such a way that the current drawing level of the student is not what is important. The room for improvement will always evolve. I like to take my classes towards character design, towards general things like the psychology of color and shapes, since they are assimilable and highly useful concepts, independent of the level of drawing. For this reason, my classes are aimed at all ages and drawing levels.

I also try to focus them on the preferences and tastes of each student, showing them that everything they like, they like for a reason, that nothing is left to chance and that they can also understand how to make their drawings reflect what they want to convey. Even to create your portfolios or visual information for your own project or story.

I give private classes with students from different parts of the world, so many of my classes I have been able to do in both English and French.

I studied 2D animation in France, and thanks to this training, my work has been nourished by dynamism, storytelling, expressiveness, typical of this medium, as well as the sensitivity for color and shapes that I usually use to infuse a unique style both to my original designs as well as my fanarts.

¿Siempre has querido dibujar un cómic pero las academias tradicionales no te acaban de convencer?
¿Quieres emprender una carrera dentro del diseño pero el dibujo se te resiste?
¿Quieres aprender una nueva forma de expresarte, pensar y vivir?

Si has contestado si a alguna de estas preguntas puedo ayudarte, sino probablemente tambien XD.
Dame la oportunidad y en pocas clases te sorprenderá ver de lo que eres capaz.

My lessons are for all ages and all levels.
I started teaching Drawing and Painting in 2014 in schools and private workshops, helping students to improve their level and to find their own style, voice and expression.
Typical length of a lesson: 2hs (we can do 1 hour too)
I am a Fine Arts Graduate and I work as a professional comic book artist and illustrator for movie posters, book covers, album art, storyboards, board games and concept art for videogames.
For many years I dedicated my life to study drawing, painting, composition, art history, sculpture, printmaking (engraving) and other subjects. I took multiple courses and workshops of drawing, painting, illustration, concept art and comic-book art in South America and Europe.
My lessons are for all ages and all levels. No previous experience required. I want to know your interests, your intentions and your favourite art styles and we will go from there!

Illustrator is a great application that meets today's advertising needs. The focus of this course is carefully crafted, moving away from traditional teaching approaches in this discipline. It is essential to establish a knowledge link between color modes, the products that can be created with this application, integration with other applications, and different formats, such as the use of Excel spreadsheets to create interactive, mass-produced brochures with detailed information connected with markers.

Regarding integration, we will use two sister applications of Illustrator: Photoshop and InDesign for the creation of magazines.

Modeling isn't just about being professional; it's about learning to understand your body and posture. It's about knowing your best angles when taking photos of yourself, how to look your best in pictures, and how to handle heels—not just for special occasions, but as your go-to footwear, walking in them with confidence and poise.
