Through my 15 years of studying and teaching Art in both here in the US and in Brazil, my homeland. I've come to realize with the support of my mentors, peers and my family that my niche is to alternatively educate people specifically children in the arts for the enrichment of culture. So get on board with me and let's Create some new Photo Based Art!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Since I schedule classes through other outlets my availability varies. I've marked availability only to make my profile visible to potential students so, the availability you see is not my actual availability. Since my availability is never fixed and I'd like to avoid disappointing booking experiences, please contact me at 202-559-7981 to check my availability. If we can confirm a meeting time, I'll mark that availability on the Take Lessons site and you can book and confirm our meeting through there.

Thank you for considering me in your search for photography instruction.
It doesn't matter whether you use a film or digital camera. The camera is a tool that you use to create photographs.
During your photography class with me youâÂÂll learn to use your camera and youâÂÂll learn the skills that you need to
use your camera effectively and with confidence.
If youâÂÂre just getting started or a more advanced photographer, I offer a variety of photography courses that are geared toward a wide range of skill levels and interests.
My approach to teaching has been shaped by my photography teachers and by my experience working as a professional photographer. While I learned a lot about the craft of photography from good teachers, I learned to be a photographer by using my camera and mindfully applying what I learned from my teachers during the process of creating a photograph.
I think the best way to learn something is to learn by doing it and I make sure that we have plenty of time to practice what we cover during our time together in class. If youâÂÂre in a multi-week class, youâÂÂll get homework too. Homework aimed at getting you to utilize the lessons we cover in class so you can create photographs that are uniquely your own.
As a participant in my photography classes youâÂÂll get a good understanding of the material being presented in addition to hands on practical experience. What you wonâÂÂt get are my judgments about your work, instead youâÂÂll be encouraged to formulate your own opinions about your work and then IâÂÂll offer you guidance based on your personal goals in photography.
Whether you are using a film SLR, a digital SLR (DSLR ), or another type of camera, IâÂÂll help you to be the best photographer that you can be.
Courses are offered in Washington, DC or online. Private instruction and custom group workshops are also available.

About David
I have a bachelors degree in printmaking and oil painting and spent some time in Florence, Italy studying painting and drawing through the high renaissance masters. Currently I draw and paint in my spare time. I love teaching art as a way to connect with other artist and creative people who like talking about and creating art.
Through introducing or reviewing the fundamental principles in art and applying those to the lessons and exercises I assign for after class hours, you’ll see yourself improve week after week and gain more confidence in your artistic ability. I create a custom syllabus for you to review and work in things you’d like to try, certain mediums or subject matter to make it more appealing to you.

About Andrew
I am an artist, illustrator, and animator. I have produced multiple animations online, as well as published a web comic with thousands of views.
I have experience doing commissions for people and businesses, from logos to character designs. My main focus is characters and I have range from paper to digital. I can help students find their style, learn the basics or brush up.
I am also very open minded and have no judgement for the kind of art my students would like me to help them with. I am passionate about all art because all art is expression.

About Amaya
I am currently on hiatus as a Senior Visual Studies major at Temple University. I have experience as a TA in a Montessori school in Alexandria, VA. I have casually taught students for around three years. I want to find reasons to continue creating art while I am not in school and teaching is a great way to do that. Drawing is a skill with each lesson and practice that can be mastered like anything else. I love to see my students improve throughout our lessons. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
