About Clinton

Well I've been teaching art history for 10 years, theatre/performing arts for 7 years and photography for years... Working in multiple areas of the creative industry allows me to bring multiple perspectives to my students [still life, fine art, fashion, portraiture, photo-journalism], pulling from multiple artistic avenues to help them develop their own voice. Learn the rules then break the rules, those are the students that tend to do best under my guidance.

Both my mom and my grandmom are teachers, while in school I was always the student that became a tutor and after graduating from University I got a job at the National Museum, part of my job was to guide students who came for tours, this led to me being invited to schools, that lead to me getting into photography and the two kind of met in the middle, teaching and photography...

I have a degree in Art HistorY, I've taught performing arts, visual arts, photography, and photography for stage and film.

I am a cultural curator with in depth knowledge about caribbean photography, art and architecture.

I've work with extremely diverse age groups, from as young as 5 years old to as old as 70, so no age is a challenge for my, I am a disciplined yet patient instructor.

About the lesson

I like to take the process from th most basic level to the more advanced [this can be adjusted based on the students needs and skill set]

I work very with beginners because of my art history background, so I'm able to break down concepts like shape, colour theory, line theory, lighting, pop culture, distortions etc which add to the depth of the students work.

Then I like to move on to the function of the camera, how it works, it's features and how to manipulate those features to achieve the vision in the students mind.

Then we move onto the genres, we'll explore portrait photography, home/architecture, fine art, commercial/fashion, abstract and journalism photography. [if the student is only interested in one genre then we'll focus all of this period on that genre]

after exploring multiple areas of photography i would ask the student to choose one area that resonated with them most. I would then mentor them on a small assignment of creating a collection of 7 photos as a sort of final project to mark their journey, and for them to have some phtos to start a portfolio.

Every age from 5 to 70, Men, Women, complete beginners, to extremely advanced photography who just wanted a teaher to push them into a fresh perspective, i've mentored college students, high school students and retirees who wanted to pick up photography as a new hobby.

My advice would be to be honest aout who you are as a person so tht your photography can reflext that honesty. You don't have to nave ANY experience!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't e afraid to mess up, "sometimes in photography the blurred/shifty images are the ones with the most depth"...

And trust the process, trust that I actually genuiinely want you to get the most out of my guidance, i want you to be happy while learning to capture images that you're proud of.

I'm a travel addict, it's part of what made me fall in love with photography. My last trip was to Mexico, I broke new years watching the sun come up on the beach in Playa del Carmen, it was absolutely life changing, ecause of the position of the beach on the globe, it allows you to see the sun rise as this massive ball of fire, yet so gentle. The ironic thig is that, for someone who is always quick to grab my camers, i didnt reach for it once, but the image will remain with me forever!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Thestudent should ask the teacher about ANY AND EVERY QUESTION!

Yes, the course is split into 4 sessions [one session per week - this gives students time to practice shooting until the next class] My rate is $45 an hour and the typical session is an hour, if the student requires a longer session, that would cost $30 per additional hour.

Students can pay for each session at the beggining of the session and any overtime would be calculated at the end of the course and added to the final invoice.
