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 have studied and stayed in Iran for 8 years, the thing that has allowed me to be fluent in Persian/Farsi. I can teach you Persian/Farsi language from scratch and I can help with Persian Literature as well. Courses could be given outdoors 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.

Photography - Understand your camera and use it!
Have you always wanted to take photos, you have probably even bought a reflex camera, but it is now gathering dust in a cupboard? Do you want to get started, but you don't know where to start? Then this course is for you! In this course, we will cover the basics of photography (ISO, shutter speed, aperture,...). The goal is to help you understand the technical basics, without it being too complicated either. More than anything, what matters to me is that you can take control of your camera, and then be able to really use it in the moments that matter to you. Depending on your needs, we can approach how to photograph a landscape, a person, etc., so that it is as close as possible to the expected result. The goal is to develop your eye over time, because in my opinion that is the best way to learn: by doing. Photographer for over 10 years, holder of a CFC, and self-employed since 2020, I am active in the field of weddings, portraits, landscape photography and concerts. In other words, reporting in all its forms. Capturing what is happening in front of me and transcribing it into photos, with my eye and my sensitivity, is a passion that has driven me for years, and it is what I am keen to pass on to you.

If you are at the beginning of your exploration of photography as one of your hobbies or a possible profession, you surely have many questions like these: How does my camera work? Is it worth learning photography? What type of equipment should I buy?

Depending on the level you are at, we can explore the following topics: -Theory without mysteries -Re-knowing your camera -Finding inspiration (portrait, landscape, macro photography, etc.) -Fundamentals in lighting -Lightroom Basics -Photoshop Basics Before each session, you choose the topic you want to work on.
