Perhaps, you are only just interested in making creative use of your smartphone camera.

Or, are you at an exploration stage discovering your creative identity and you want to try your 'eye' in a variety of photographic genres and styles?

Whatever your needs, regardless of your age, you can choose from a range of group courses and workshops or book a private 1-1 photography experience tailored to your personal needs.

Photography Mentoring


Are you struggling to find your unique style or feel overwhelmed by the technical aspects of photography?

Do you like following your own pace of learning and wish you had someone to hold your hand and guide you step by step?

Are you in need of advice and support on how to develop your ideas into a project?

Mentoring can provide you with the focused, tailored, one-to-one or group support you need to elevate your skills. Explore how mentorship can help you achieve your photography goals and bring your creative vision to life.


Creativity Life Coaching


Are you a photographer of any level and/or a creative?

Have you lost your mojo?

Do you have a photographer's block?

Do you feel stuck and unmotivated?

Do you feel your photographs are not good enough?

Do you feel you are not enough and without the confidence to pursue the callings of your creative soul?

Are you perhaps a professional photographer looking to find your niche?

Do you lack clarity regarding the direction you want to take in your photography creatively or professionally?

Do you feel or have you been told that you are not artistic enough?


Coaching can help you find clarity, purpose, gain your lost confidence and motivation and start living a life of creative fulfillness and flow.

Email me and book a free 45 min coaching session to help you design your roadmap towards your future vision in photography.

My Happy Students

SUPPORTIVE & ENCOURAGING

“I have worked with Eva since my first year in university and she has helped me both in essay writing and practical projects. She helped me structure my thoughts and ideas as I struggle to get things from my head into writing. I get overwhelmed with work so Eva helped me to work through it and also to write in a manner which was more suitable for university level. I would recommend Eva to any university student as she will improve your work but more importantly help you to be more confident with it.” Katie Hollett, 3rd Year Student

BA Photography University of Brighton



COMMITED &

INFORMATIVE

“Eva really understands how to teach and is very committed as a tutor. Can’t thank you enough for such an excellent and informative day. By the way, Eva’s handouts are exceptionally good.” Jane


INSPIRATIONAL

“Eva was very inspirational, energising, bringing lots of ideas from her substantial and in-depth knowledge. She enabled all participants to help each other through interesting and focused discussions to refine their projects into a successful final exhibition.” Barry

KNOWLEDGEABLE &

CHALLENGING

“I have known Eva for nearly 10 years and have been a part of her teaching programme throughout. I have found Eva to be a challenging tutor - she really makes me think and stretches my capabilities. She doesn't give you the answers, she makes you get there yourself and this also instills a confidence within yourself.

Eva also possesses an almighty knowledge of her subject matter. She diligently provides you with reference material relevant to the subject matter and provides well planned out and thought provoking lessons. A joy to work with.” Jo Teasdale

My Student Projects


I am very proud of my students' work which I showcase to the public and feature on my social.


I am working with them in a group or 1-1 setting towards developing and preparing a personal photography project for an exhibition and we have taken part in a number of Brighton Photo Fringe festivals.


I am organising educational trips to London galleries and Show&Tell events.


Check out our projects and view our exhibitions.


My Student Gallery


My students are from all walks of life and of all ages. From young kids to university BA, MA or even PhD students and all the way up to middle-aged and seniors of nearly 80 years old.  They all come to me to learn to take better photographs and express themselves through photography.


I help them develop their creative potential. I support them to discover what flutters their creative soul.
