1:1 Photography Coaching – The Basics (3h - DE, EN or PT)

Learn the basics of photography in a relaxed, creative studio setting.

Want to finally understand how your camera works – or learn the basics of photography in a way that actually makes sense to you?

This one-on-one coaching is tailored to your current level, your questions, and your pace. No distractions, no group setting – just you and me, diving into what you really want to learn.

Whether you're just getting started or have been shooting for a while but still feel uncertain with manual settings – we'll begin exactly where you are. Before the session, we'll have a short call or exchange via Mail to define your goals and what you'd like to focus on. Then we’ll spend 3 hours exploring the topics hands-on, with plenty of time for questions and experimentation here in the studio.

The session takes place at the Space Of Hearts studio in Berlin, where we’ll have access to tripods, backdrops, and a full setup with constant lighting – so you can see the effects of each setting in real time as you learn. We can also explore working with studio flash if you’d like to get a feel for that setup too.

Possible topics include:

• Introduction to photography – seeing, feeling, understanding
• Tech talk about the gear
• Aperture, ISO, shutter speed – and how they work together
• Auto, aperture or shutter priority – when to use which mode
• RAW vs JPG – and why it matters
• Lenses, focal lengths, and how they shape your image
• Basics of composition and light
• Studio basics – experimenting with constant light and (optional) flash
• Tips for specific challenges or creative goals
• … and more, depending on your focus and curiosity

Who it’s for:Beginners and self-taught photographers who prefer learning in a personal, relaxed setting.

What you’ll need:• Your own camera (any model – digital or analogue)• Fully charged batteries & empty memory cards• Camera manual (if available)• Curiosity and an open mind
