About Me
Florent, professional photographer and independent trainer since 2015. Beyond my reports and my personal practice of photography, I have been organizing courses and practical (thematic) workshops for several years. Because for me photography is a passion and I consider that this artistic discipline evolves throughout the life of the artist (here the photographer), I like to learn, experiment and share my discoveries with the greatest number. To help and guide beginners, I created a blog in 2017, among other things. A blog that sees more than 4000 visitors each month. You will no doubt have understood that photography is my life!
Education
Self-taught at the base, I quickly took courses and workshops with renowned photographers such as DavidOne, AlohaFred, Philippe Nieus,... but also trained at the Nicephore Institute in Geneva.

Whether you are totally new, need an upgrade or prepare an entrance exam I adapt to all levels. Whether you want to develop your creativity or focus on a specific technique, I offer an individualized service based on the student's own pace.
I am currently studying psychomotility, which is why I will invite young people to use their whole body in artistic practice through playful exercises. This helps to develop self-confidence, to address spatiality and temporality.

This course is intended for people who wish to get rid of the automatic modes of their camera and who are eager to take control of their photographic practice.

It's about understanding the basic workings of a camera, so that the next time you shoot your camera, you won't be surprised that the photo is bad or even good, but in fact is such that you had imagined it before you even took it.

With this course, learn how to take the photos you have in mind!

See you soon.

Graduated from a Masters in interior architecture at the National School of Visual Arts in La Cambre for 3 years, I offer private lessons in sketch and watercolor drawing in Brussels.

My lessons are suitable for children and adults of all levels.
From the first class you will already see progress, my approach is fairly free, the trick is to trust you and let go a little bit through spontaneous gestures, it's very meditative ... :-)
The lessons can be given to several people at the same time, I will ask for a small supplement per additional person.

This isn't another technical photography course.
You will learn to see the world through a new perspective.

I invite you to join me and the Zoom In Reach Out photo school to learn about the power of understanding yourself and the world around you through the lens of photography.

Whether you want to learn the basics of photo techniques, or something more insightful like mindful photography and journaling, we will create a custom learning path to get out and be more creative with your camera.

Rather than just collecting digital dust, you will be encouraged to print and use your photos in new ways like publishing zines and other artistic creations.

All skill levels are welcome. Even if you have been photographing a while but feel like you've hit a creative wall, we'll try out creative exercises and activities to get unstuck.
