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:


Photography with your Smartphone

Would you like to learn more about photography with your Smartphone, Tablet or Compact Camera, then this is your chance.

In this introduction course we cover the various institutions in 3 hours to take even better photos.

We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results. In addition to technology, we are also talking about the composition, atmosphere and content of your photos.

You learn how to make beautiful portraits and how you can best photograph a landscape. You learn how to control the color and brightness of your photo.

We look at Apps to further expand the capabilities of your SmartPhone or Tablet and to edit, archive and share your photos with others.


Basic Photography Course

In this course you will learn the most important techniques of the digital camera. We cover the shutter speed, the aperture, and the ISO setting. We work with motion blur and the focusing system.

You learn to adjust the brightness and color of your photo and you assess the photos using the histogram and high light indicator. You learn the difference between JPG and RAW and how to set the correct amount of pixels.

We import the photos on the computer and organize, edit and save the results. We discuss photo printing via the photo shop or website.

We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results. In addition to technology, we are also talking about the composition, atmosphere and content of your photos.


Portrait photography

In this course you learn the different aspects of portrait photography. We work with existing light and learn how you can beautifully illuminate a model in the studio with artificial light. You learn to set a good white balance and to choose the best position and objective.

You will of course learn to look closely at the composition and directing your model. Because even photos that look spontaneous at first sight often require direction from the photographer.

In the reader that comes with the course, the various techniques of photography and image editing are clearly described so that you can get started with this at home.


Product photography

In this course you learn to photograph objects. For example your own artworks for your presentation folder or products for your own web store. You learn to set a good white balance and to choose the best position and objective.

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


Working with flash units

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.

You learn the influence of aperture, shutter speed and ISO speed when working with a flash. With fill-in flashes we mix existing light and flash light. You learn to adjust the shade and color of the light.

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.

We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results. The technique is described in detail in the reader.
Extra information
We teach at your home or in our studio. Or possibly we rent a special large photo studio. We work with your equipment or we take our equipment with you or help you with the purchase of equipment. If you live more than 15 Km from Haarlem I charge travel costs. How much depends on the number of class hours you book per class. This is settled in the lesson duration.

With Adobe Photoshop improve the appearance of your photos or make extensive changes yourself. As an Experienced Photography and image editing teacher with beginners but also with professionals with many years of experience. And work for Adobe, Apple and other software companies, among others.

We make a special training program that matches your wishes and experience with the software.

There is also a fixed Basic Photoshop program. In 6 hours you will learn all the most important tools in this software. Below is an overview of the topics I deal with.

I handle the archive part of the software, is very efficient in organizing and finding your photos. Backing up your files is also necessary and easy to implement with this software. We also work with the Bridge from Photoshop CS and CC. Or we work from the archive and Raw possibilities of Lightroom and work with layers in Photoshop.

Photoshop can also help you archive and organize your photos. In the course we show how to transfer photos from your camera to your computer. We are going to sort photos, group them and provide them with text information so that you can easily find them later. In Photoshop you can easily merge your photos into a photo album or print as a postcard which you can print yourself or at the photo shop.

This presentation shows the most used techniques of the package so that you can edit your photos yourself in a short time. In the course you do not work behind a computer, but with the extensive reader you can put the treated lessons into practice at home behind your own computer.

No special knowledge is required to follow this basic course. You can download a free demo version of Photoshop on the Adobe website, which you can use for a month. You can bring your own photo files to edit as an example in class.

I have been working as a photography teacher for various Course Centers, courses and art academies for several years. In these lessons I learn not only technology but also the content side of photography and video.

In consultation, we will choose a targeted approach that fits your wishes. Below an example of the route that we can follow.

We look at your current work, image makers who inspire and develop you and a curriculum in which we look for your individuality as an image maker.

We are working on an inspiration portfolio, make a research plan to guide your search. We work on concepts for different projects that further develop your own style. We are working on a presentation portfolio that reflects your vision as a photographer.

This process is something that we spread out over several months or years. And fully adapt to your wishes and needs. We may also work with other teachers with other specializations.

Naomi

Hi!

I'm Naomi, a visual artist, curator, and art educator (courses and workshops) with a focus on painting and drawing. You can find my art and more information about my practice at 'www.naomimakkelie.nl'.

As an experienced artist and art educator in the form of Painting Workshops at Treehouse NDSM, I offer a unique approach to art education. My background in art studies at HKU, a year of Psychology at UvA, and the rich teaching experiences of my family form the foundation of my teaching method. I possess an in-depth knowledge of contemporary painting and techniques, far removed from the conventional painting courses that often limit themselves to replicating models or still lifes. I am eager to share these modern insights to prepare you for a future in the current art world, which is a crucial part of the admission process to art academies.

In my career, I have explored the power of personal expression through art, both in my own work and in guiding aspiring artists. My experience ranges from conducting workshops at Treehouse NDSM to developing my own Art Practice, where I exhibit and display my work, and of course, spend a significant amount of time creating my art. However, there's so much more involved, which many art academies unfortunately don't pay much attention to, such as promoting your work through Social Media, your Website, and applications for prizes and grants. I won the Buning Brongers Prize in 2018, and was nominated that same year for the Royal Prize for Modern Painting and the Dooyewaard Stipendium. I can also guide you in applying for grants, prizes, and other types of applications, help you write Artist Statements and Project Plans (for grants), and of course, with the writing part of the application to art academies. I can also provide information more focused on the art practice, building your own business. In today's times, this gives many self-taught artists the opportunity to set up an art practice through the internet and entrepreneurial skills, with an online shop selling (limited-edition or open-edition) prints of their paintings or drawings, and amazingly, many artists are able to earn a decent income this way, with some going viral on platforms like Instagram and suddenly becoming world-famous. This is not something that happens quickly or often, but it does represent a significant shift in the Contemporary Art World, which previously was much harder to establish your own business and art practice, making the artist much more dependent on representation by a Gallery.

My lessons focus on (re)discovering the joy of making art. I believe that every individual has a unique creative process, and that in art, there is no right or wrong. With my extensive knowledge of people, I can tailor guidance and coaching to meet the needs and interests of each student. Whether it's about building an impressive portfolio, exploring pre-courses, or navigating the choices of art academies and directions, I'm ready to share my expertise. Also, having studied at various Academies in the Netherlands (KABK, HKU, and Frank Mohr Institute (Master of Fine Arts) but also being admitted to the foundation year of Rietveld, which I chose not to pursue, I can explain exactly what the different expectations are of each Academy, which can vary considerably. Each Academy has its own approach and philosophy.

In my workshops and personal coaching sessions, you'll learn not only the essential skills of the trade but also how to further develop your own style. This includes professionally stretching canvases and applying contemporary painting techniques that are essential for successful admission to the art academy. I am a professional painter and draughtsman, but can guide you in almost any medium and material.

Located in the bright and inspiring studio at Treehouse NDSM, or on location in Amsterdam (with a possible travel expense reimbursement outside Amsterdam), I offer an environment where creativity and individual expression are central.

Are you ready to elevate your artistic skills, rediscover the joy of art creation, build a portfolio for admission to an art academy, and prepare for the admission process to greatly increase your chances of being admitted? I can also explore with the student which Academy best suits him/her, having experience with multiple academies, I can look together with the student at what best fits them, and provide enough information about what it's like at an art academy to reduce the chance of dropping out early due to a 'wrong picture' of what it's like at an academy.

For more information, contact me about my offerings and how I can support you in your unique creative development and discovering where your talents lie!
