About Me

Hello,

My name is Jeremy. I'm Dutch, though I speak both English and French fluently, and my German is pretty good too. I studied history in London at the LSE and political science at the College of Europe in Bruges. I've lived in Paris for over 40 years now. Over the years I've spent quite a lot of time in Japan. I am a photographer by profession - my work can be seen on Instagram - though in order to make ends meet I have been teaching English, French, Dutch and German for over 30 years on a freelance basis, something I actually enjoy a lot. I teach photography too. I like to make my classes as much fun as possible for I've found it's the most effective way to improve one's language skills. Having learnt quite a few languages - I speak a bit of Japanese and Italian too - myself, I understand where difficulties occur. I try to keep lessons on grammar to a minimum and encourage reading and watching films in the original language. For those who live in Paris, I'm happy to receive my students at my home where I live with my wife and 16 year old son. I'm equally comfortable teaching on line. By the way, I give courses in photography too, the old kind of photography that is, analogue.

When I started photography as a photo model, I was curious to see what it could do. For some, they are afraid to expose themselves, to reveal themselves, to show themselves as they are, their deep nature. I was able to discover facets of my person through the photo shoots and discover that I could give a vivid emotion in a static photograph of nature.
Having had experiences with various photographers and in all areas of photography, I want to give the opportunity to other people to have the confidence and ease to pose in front of the camera, in front of the flash, in front of people who fix you for hours and stand up to the demands of professional photographers. It will be largely coaching, self-reflection and personal development. There will be theory and then practice.

This course is for photographers and creative digital artists.
The goal is to learn all the important digital steps that will free your creativity.
The technique: How? Why?
You will learn each step, from the image to the details, from the colors to the atmosphere, from the frame to the perspective.

Beginner, Intermediate and Expert: My advice and technique will be yours!

I graduated from the University of Derby in 2013, with a bachelors degree in Commercial Photography, for which I received first honours.

I have worked as a freelance photographer since graduating, specialising in portraiture, street and travel photography.

I will teach you the workings of your camera, and how to use it to create beautiful images, and to discover your own style of photography. Whether you're interested in travel, street or portraiture photography, I can give you the skills needed to begin building a stunning portfolio, whether your plan is to begin your own professional journey in photography, or it's simply a hobby that you wish to improve upon.

''Owning a good camera only doesn't make you a good photographer, you need to have the right skills and knowledge to capture good images.''

This photography class will focus on teaching you from the basics of photography to a professional level. Basic fundamentals like understanding your camera (DSLR/Point and Shoot/Phone camera), camera technicals like aperture, shutter, ISO, etc will be taught with practical live photo walks thus giving you a good hands-on experience. Also, you get extra classes if you need it.

You will get to learn a lot from my experience. My work has been published in Marie Claire Magazine (Australia), National Geographic Magazine(India), SPAN Magazine (USA-India), HuffingtonPost (India) to name a few.

Photoshop is a powerful software to change each and picture to your liking. It is useful in ever field from photography to architecture to graphic designing. It's a software which can change your whole thought process towards work. Learning this will be a huge addition to your portfolio.

Graduated from the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris in photography, after a preparatory year in art schools at l'Atelier de Sèvres, I am an artist and works with galleries, institutions, agencies.
I have been giving private lessons and workshops for several years: silver and digital photography (concept development, technical basics of studio or daylight shots, editing, Photoshop processing), drawings and sketches of compositions, writing of texts presenting projects, bases of art history and photography.
I adapt to the needs of my students (children, adolescents or adults) to help them develop their own writing.

Learn essential skills in photographing with digital and film cameras as well as editing with software (Photoshop and Capture One and Lightroom).
I have over 12 years experiencing as a photographer. My experience ranges from fashion to portraiture to interiors to still life to photojournalism to food photography.

Today in 2021, we all own smartphones or cameras. EVERYONE takes photos. But what is a good photo? How to stand out and take original photos? How to frame? What settings should I use? In short, how to take better photos?

This is what we will discover together during this photo tour where we will be equipped with our smartphones, cameras or SLR cameras.

Passionate about photography, it is with pleasure that I pass on my knowledge of manual settings, positions, frames, etc., relating to these little pleasures of capturing the moment.
Pedagogy, benevolence and patience are the key words of my educational approach.
Availabilities are on daily all week.

For beginners - the basics of photography (composition, light, colors, working with subjects, manual camera mode, basics of editing software, basics of street photography, photography with the phone)
For the in-between: secrets of self-portraits, where to get ideas, history of photography, how to find the kind of photography you'd like, where to find your first clients.

Practical exercises - you start photographing from the first lesson
Theory without getting bored
Support and motivation

Benefit from the advice of a professional in a caring atmosphere and improve your know-how for everyday life or take the first steps to change careers.

Hi !
it's a long time since I am working as a photographer, a bit more than 20 years and I really love my profession.
Photography is both a work and a passion.
I am doing fashion photography, portraits and still lifes. I enjoy the studio work.
I am also passionate about exterior photography, travel images, pictures done in nature.
I can teach you on an online class different photography subjects depending on your needs.
We could go through the very basics of photography, see how a digital or film camera works, the aperture, time, ISO speed subjects.
On an online class we could also do some more creative things like PORTRAIT techniques, or if you have FLASH lights and want to learn more we could go through it. We could also try Light Painting, with a long exposure using a torch light held by hands .

If you're already taking pictures, I'd be happy to see your work. In the last times I am personally trying to make my portfolios a bit differently than my habits. I am trying to mix them with descriptions of the images and I think people appreciate that. I'd be happy to share ideas and see what you are doing.
