About Me

My name is Mak, Chilean photographer, visual artist, filmmaker and photography teacher. I’ve worked for the past 12 years in the area of documentary photography, capturing artists, street scenery and personal projects, where the portrait and surrounding space play a fundamental role and capture the soul of the subject. As a teacher for 7 years, I taught documentary photography and developed portrait phototherapy in 5 children jail centers of `Sename ́ (state institution concerning the protection of minors) and 3 colleges in the vulnerable sector in Santiago to Chile.
I’m also a visual and drawing artist for 4 years now. For my plastic art, I like to investigate in recycle art and re-use words as a reflection for the ambient. My style fluctuates between pop art, expressionist and graphic influences using pallets of pastel, fluor, black and white colors. I like to works with different materials, such as paper, cloth, murals, cups, stones, and recycled items.
One of my specializations is food photography. Creating atmosphere, integrating color and styling in the composition of the image. Do you own a restaurant? A coffee? Or you love food? You want to take good pictures of your new dishes? This is a super opportunity!
I teach how to work natural light, walk the streets, compose the image from the spontaneous, portrait and working improvisation. Classes of groups of 3 people to generate an atmosphere of collaboration and support. We will create together differents topics to work.

If you are reading this, it's not too late...you are in good hands:) Especially if you 're (going to prepare/ preparing) a portfolio for art/design school application. "Learning by making" From drawing, oil painting to creative thinking training through materiality. Each age is special and different visual styles can be worked upon and the outcomes can often be surprisingly authentic. Those anticipations are the basis of each class. My classes are designed through collaborations when it comes to experimentations or intersected fields and mediums, which is an option and pertinent characteristic of approach. Classes are applicable to students who are 16+ of all levels . Personal Portfolio Class: If you are considering applying for art school or design school, you might want to prepare yourself and build a convincing portfolio, perhaps improve your presentation skill or even some confidence boost for interviews. We will first explore what talents you already have and those you will want/need to have, the goal is to help you develop your creativity and curiosity as well as your artistic skills and most importantly find out your inner talent for a direction that will suit you, whether in education or self-development. And we will do a live rehearsal for your interview for the best presentation result and confidence boost. Overall, It'll help you cultivate the soft and hard skills you need to be more confident setting and resetting expectations, strengthening relationships, and taking your projects across the finish line without any cold sweat. For teenagers: are highly encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques and preferably through themes - selected by me or the student's likings as well. We will also look at specific Artists and Painters, as well as specific Art History periods, and the kids will then be encouraged to play around and recreate their own version of the Artist or period. Needless to say that class do not necessarily mean free-time activity, the academic material is intentionally or not(unconsciously) always a present element of my instructive performance. Therefore, the game becomes a teaching/learning relation, whilst teaching and learning turn into a recreational joyful moment for all participants.

Sculptor, art-coach and creativity teacher with more than 10 years of experience. Individual sessions on developing creativity and overcomin
Hi, my name is August, I am a practicing sculptor, artist and teacher. I welcome creatives of all ages in my online workshop, it's a safe space where you can explore your ideas and where I will help bring them to reality. Through video links and my experience and expertise, I help develop abilities, support personal interests and create classes based on your inner world, without grades, boundaries or pressure. In a world where there is too much information and too little silence, I invite you to stop, listen to yourself and start creating from within freely, honestly, truly. My method is based on the Montessori method, the works and research of B.M. Nemensky and my own experience of teaching creativity for more than 10 years. Working in a leading cultural center in Russia, in private kindergartens and in volunteer initiatives taught me that there is no standard black and white approach. I try to find my own approach to each individual as a separate universe. It is important for me to show that there are no perfect or not perfect drawings, interests, skills, it is important that they are created out of personal curiosity and interest.
