As an experienced teacher I teach photography and image editing. I learn camera technology, work with compact and studio flash units and work out concepts and my own style. I teach beginners, experienced photographers and professionals. I help companies set up and set up a photo studio and train staff to become a professional photographer.

We make a suitable lesson program depending on your experience and wishes.

We also have a number of courses in which we teach you the basic techniques of photography. We work with supportive beamer presentations and readers in which the treated lesson components are clearly described.

Below are a few examples of these courses:

For example, you learn how to illuminate jewelry and other 3D objects so that they are beautifully spatially added. We also handle the reproduction of paintings and drawings. In principle we work with artificial light in the studio, but you also learn how you can achieve a very good result without expensive studio lighting.

We import, organize and edit JPG and Raw files. We discuss the need for color management, the different file formats and the printing of photos

In this course you will learn how to take beautiful pictures with a flash. We work with the built-in flash, compact flash units and studio flash units.

We work with various tools to improve the flash. You learn to work with exposure compensation, slow sync, second shutter curtain and the Master and Slave function.

Hello, hi :)
I'm Mia, your future private art tutor if you're interested!

I'm a visual artist working across different mediums, from more classical forms like drawing and painting to multimedia practices such as video and performance.

I graduated from a high school of art and design in France, continued my studies at the School of Fine Arts in Geneva HEAD, and I'm currently finishing a specialization in choreography at the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam.

I'm offering a series of personalized art classes that can focus on various mediums, whether you're looking to explore new artistic tools, prepare for entrance exams to art schools, or simply nurture your curiosity. All ages and experience levels are welcome.

Here are three class options to start with:

Sketching and Drawing
Learn the basics of observational drawing and graphic composition. We can focus on a specific subject or go on walks to observe and draw what we see in our surroundings.

Video
An introduction to video basics and editing software. We’ll explore how to use cameras in a raw, intuitive way and understand the logic behind lighting and other technical tools.

Art School Preparation
Guidance in building a portfolio, formatting and laying out documents, and exploring different printing techniques. Ideal for those preparing to apply to art schools or looking to expand their artistic practice.

Feel free to reach out with questions or specific interests. I'm happy to adapt the classes to your needs.

Hi there! I'm Liuba, a painter who’s genuinely in love with acrylics and all the creative mess they bring.
I work in various genres — abstract art, still life, landscapes, portraits, floral compositions — basically, if it sparks emotion, I paint it.

My artworks have found homes around the world through online galleries like Saatchi Art and Artfinder. But what I love just as much as painting is sharing the joy of it with others.

I offer fun and relaxed private art lessons for kids and adults — no pressure, just creativity and a lot of color. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or want to loosen up your style, I’ll guide you through with patience and good humor (and maybe some paint on your sleeves).

I’m based in the Amsterdam area and happy to travel to your location within the region.

If you're looking for someone to help bring out the artist in your child — or yourself — I’d be thrilled to connect! 🎨

Learn, Create, and Perform with Poppie-Joy

(SOON : LESSONS IN DUTCH)

With a background melting classical and contemporary clarinet performance, to theatrical movement, masks, and storytelling, I bring a fresh approach to music education. My experience includes leading creative workshops for children through the Philharmonie de Paris and developing artistic projects for young audiences.

In my classes, we explore sound as character, rhythm as movement, and performance as story.
For me, the body is the key to learning : I guide students to develop their body awareness as part of learning, an approach often missing from traditional lessons.

We will explore:

Clarinet technique
Musical interpretation
Improvisation and creativity exercises
Stage presence, movement, and breathing
Connecting music to visual or theatrical elements
Bonus (if possible and committed!) :programming small performances for families, social gatherings, or cultural events

My teaching philosophy: Music is not only notes on a page, it’s a living art that connects body, breath, and imagination. I meet each student where they are, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and authentic expression.

Open to all ages and levels, from beginners discovering their first notes to advanced players seeking to deepen their artistry.

Digital Art – from idea to independent work

In this course, I'll teach you the basics of digital art. We'll start with the foundation: how to translate ideas into images, how to work digitally with layers, shapes, color, and composition, and how to use different techniques and tools within a single creative process.

My focus is on thinking as a creator. I teach you not only how to create digital art, but especially how to justify choices, experiment, and develop your own direction. I see digital tools as an extension of your creativity, not an end in themselves.

After this course:

understand the basic principles of digital art

you can independently create digital artworks

develop your sense of visual language, style and concept

do you have tools to grow and deepen yourself further?

This course is designed for students and creatives who want to use digital art as a fully-fledged form of expression — with freedom, control, and a signature style.
