Online & In-Person Workshops

One of my biggest passions is teaching. I love helping and inspiring individuals so that they can achieve their greatest potential. I teach a few different classes where I share everything I learnt over the last 15 years. You will find classes to help with social media, such as Instagram and Pinterest. I also teach some photography classes.

ILLUMINATE CLASSES

AT PLAY Creative Photography Online Course

Next class March 2024 A creative approach to everyday photography

I will be teaching an online photography class on the Illuminate Classes forum. You can take the class from anywhere in the world. I can’t wait to teach you.

I have found that to harness my creativity, I always do best by setting creative challenges and stepping out of my comfort zone. My most successful attempts have come from playing, being curious, exploring new possibilities and most importantly ridding myself of expectations and pressure. In this course, we will do just that! Every day we will explore new creative techniques with curiosity, lots of trial and error. There will be rules broken, many rules followed a lot of hard work but all in good fun. One thing you can expect is failure, but there is no creativity without failure. During our time together we will also discuss what creativity is, inspiration, and how to sustain a healthy creative life. This is an invitation to play, find new and unique ways to make photographs, and be pleasantly surprised by the results. These techniques can be used to photograph your every day and even your clients, for photographers of any genre.

ILLUMINATE CLASSES

The Basics of Photography Online Course

Next class January 2024

I will be teaching an online beginner photography class on the Illuminate Classes forum. This is great for anyone who can’t make it to my in-person workshops. You can take the class from anywhere in the world. I can’t wait to teach you.

Learning the fundamentals of photography will not only help you to take photos that you’ve always envisioned but to do it confidently. Understanding how your camera works will allow you to consistently take perfectly exposed photos in any situations and allow for more creativity in your work. To do so, you need to learn how to shoot in manual mode and take informed decisions on ISO, shutter speed and aperture. Knowing what focus mode to use and how to meter in-camera to take well exposed images, are just a few of the things you need to learn to take full control. Understanding light and how its color (white balance) affects the end results are key principles of photography. The technical part of photography allows for more creative control and consistent results that match your vision. When the science meets the arts is when the magic happens, let me help you do that!
