Artists wishing to explore the aesthetic of classical life poses, the fluidity of dance/movement and more unusual physically demanding short term photographic poses will be guided through the alchemy of photo composition using light, angle and shadow. Studio lighting, in tandem with filters and reflectors, enables us to explore ‘in-camera:’ framing a shot, perspective, subtleties and nuances of colour playing on the human form, plus the impact of angle and degree of light and shadow (chiaroscuro). Essential knowledge of your own camera, whether it is compact, bridge or DSLR, includes how to access: shutter priority, aperture priority, ISO and exposure compensation, to maximise the potential of the shoot.

University Art & Design Portfolio Preparation for Fine Art, Graphic Design, Fashion & ArchitectureTranslate this text using Google Translate.

University Art & Design Portfolio Preparation for Fine Art, Graphic Design, Fashion & ArchitectureTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation. Are you applying to university for a creative subject? I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally. I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds. I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes. My guidance may include: 1- Developing original ideas and personal themes. 2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes. 3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques. 4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills. 5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios. 6- Personal-statement and interview preparation. 7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses. My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further. Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process. Online lessons are available internationally.

Justin is a true professional and is really gifted at helping job seekers in their career path. He assisted me a lot with career advice, job application adaptation and proofreading. He is really good at communication, reading between the lines, and highlighting the core idea. Our lessons or as I would rather call it a master class, were absolutely great and easy going. Thank you very much, Justin, for your amazing approach, custom-made professional and easy attitude, and a super international mindset. I would very much recommend it!

Extremely professional and knowledgeable with any problem that I have had. Reza is always polite, friendly and always shows great patience, which I believe is of the highest importance when learning difficult subjects. I highly recommend him as a teacher!

Arno is a skilled and patient teacher. He has a broad experience and knowledge. Grammer, words, synonym, pronounciation, etc. Furthermore can distinguish between brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal. I can highly recommend him.
