Barboza Photo School
About
I am a experience photographer, with the ability to aproach diferent kind of pictures (social, photojournalit, portraits, ect) and a pragmatic way to teach the essence of the photography, as and art, but also as a practical comercial photography.
Photography can be very technical, but also very abstrac. I can balance the science aspect of visual arts, with the subjet and artistic part in my lessons.
I only good in two thins: Take good pictures, and teach how to take beatiful images.
This is my passion. All my experience in 20 years been a photographer, i transmit it to my student, with passion, fun, but in a very seriusly manner.

What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I always ask to my students what they expect, why yo wanna study photography. Based on that, i aproach and adapt my lesson to the students and its expectation. In second hand, i always ask for some photos. It dosent matter if they came for a cell phone, or for family photos, with that i can know the way the student "see" things.
