About the Instructor
I pursued a career in photography from 1998 to 2000 in Peru and step one was earning my degree. Then from 2001 till 2005 I worked in a national daily and then for its magazine. Some of my work can be seen in this link.
After my stint with in magazine photography, I worked as portrait photographer on cruise ships like this:
Traveled all around the Caribbean until 2008, when I came to Brno, so yes, I am an expat. I mostly focus on fine art photography which you can see in this website:

My approach is to first show you how the camera works and then how to adapt yourself to different light situations and make the most of it. Not need to be concerned too much about your gear: a lot of my photos are done with a camera from 2006! So its not only about the camera!!!
