I've been a photo-maniac since I was 14 years old, always noticing
things and motives that most people don't even see or recognize. I see
the world in rectangles or squares:) My photographic journey from
photographing with my first analogue SLR at 14, to where I am today has
been a long and interesting one. I am 100 % self taught and many many
hours have been spent figuring things out, learning about the technical
stuff, learning about composition, light, communication with my subjects
and how to best enhance the pictures in Photoshop. There is so much to
learn and know, and no matter how many hours you put in, there will
always be new things to learn and find out about, especially in today's constantly changing digital and social media dominated world.
General photography class
No
matter if you have a big DSLR camera with fancy functions, a compact
camera or just a telephone, the possibilities of taking good and
interesting pictures are there. It's all about seeing and noticing
and that's what I want to talk about and teach in my classes. I will
talk about the technical basics, but my main focus will be on the
creative aspect of photography, composition and design rules, how to
take better pictures by noticing the light and how it will effect the
subject, or by just using a different angle. I will talk about seeing
the beauty around you and in our every day life, how to treasure "the
little things" and notice what a wonderful world we live in.
Price: € 40,- (must be payed ahead to secure the spot)
Iphoneography class
This
class is meant for those of you who have an iphone, and would like to
learn more about this new way of photographing. You will learn how to
make best use of the camera function, how to take better pictures with
it, what to do in difficult lighting conditions
and how to enhance your pics on the phone. I will talk about most of
the things from my general class, but from an iphoneographers point of
view. And I will talk about my favorite apps, how to use them and what
they are for.
Price: € 35,- (must be payed ahead to secure the spot)
All classes will be small groups, not more than 8 participants, so you will be able to ask questions throughout.
For
the coming weeks I have put up a list of possible dates for classes. I
might not host a class on every date, but if there is enough interest I
will. The possible dates are:
29. Oct.: 14:00-16:30
5. Nov.: 14:00-16:30
6. Nov.: 14:00-16:30
13. Nov.: 14:00-16:30
So,
if you are interested in taking one of my classes, send me an e-mail (mariannehope@msn.com)
indicating what type of class you are interested in, what times you would
be able to join/attend, what kind of camera you have and how much
experience you have. If you live in Amsterdam or other areas not too far
from Blaricum, there is a possibility for holding a class there as
well. Let me know if you are interested.
I
will be posting some "behind the scenes" pictures from my other classes
on my FB page, Picturely spoken, so check in later if you're
interested:)
