Course Description

Welcome to my Portrait Photography course!

Whether a beginner or advanced in the field, this course will be useful for you. Here you may find the answers to your questions:

  • What do I need to start shooting portraits?

  • How can I take better photos?

  • Which are the most common mistakes that I need to avoid?

  • What tricks may I use, so that to create memorable images?

  • How to work with my model?

  • What technical skills do I need?

My name is Denis Buchel, I am an experienced photographer and my goal is to help you improve your photography skills. I have been a lecturer in different photography courses, I have spoken about photography on various exhibition openings. What I noticed in people is that they are always interested in how things work, how they really happen on the field. How do I need to compose my frame, why does the background matter, why does the communication with the model matter?

We’ll speak about the minimal equipment you need (without focusing on studio light and studio portraits - that's a completely different type of photography). I’ll help you understand which the best practices are, which the most common mistakes are. And of course - how to avoid them.

Portrait photography may tell deep stories - when you learn how to pay attention to details. When you choose a memorable face with strong enough expression. When you include one’s hands. It’s not only about a beautiful girl in a square frame.

Portrait photography is about life.

Let me show you!

Instructor Details

Vyara Georgieva

I have been teaching for seven years now, always inspired by the enthusiasm of people, acquiring new knowledge. Keep It Super Simple - the basic principle to follow, every complex theory or concept turns out clear and easily applicable. Currently, I am a technical writer and an Android developer, aimed at creating educational software products. 

Before going into technology, however, I have been teaching English as a foreign language for more than 7 years. Teaching is what my passion remained - as people need to be explained, to be shown, to be helped to start speaking. I have been preparing students for the Cambridge FCE and CAE exams for more than 4 years. At the same time, my adult student have been on various levels - starting from the alphabet (A0) to being advanced (C1 level).

Because of the depth in the lectures. I am also impressed with the fact that the series of lectures are not about commercial photography, but about real life stuations.
