About
Having 20 years of experience working in front of the camera has given a greater understanding of what is necessary to be sucessfull and look good in pictures.
I love how people become confident, there is no greater feeling than knowing I've helped someone become confident with themselves.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I do a phone metting to better understand what the student wants to learn.
There are different types of modeling, I adjust it depeding on the students need, for example some want to learn to do posing for editorial, others want to learn modeling for commercial, lifestyle, etc...
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was a fashion model for 20 years. I worked around the globe with different clients, I did all kinds of photoshoots while modeling, such as TV commercials, magazine editorials, advertisings, catalogs, you name it I problably did it. Nowadays I work as a photographer, after retiring from modeling I pursued a degree in Photography to get better skills in photoshoots.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I have online group classes, or private online classes.
How did you get started teaching?
I do a lot of photoshoots with real people, what they tell me is that they are very comfortable and their images look very natural, not forced posing, and I am sure it is because I know what I am ding behind the camera plus I have 20 years of being the subject in front of the camera, I know exactly how it feels and what to do in order to help my client and get those gorgeous images!!
What types of students have you worked with?
All kinds, kids, adults, families, couples, not models and models as well.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I was hired to do a photoshoot for an Arabic engagement, my bride was not a model and she was very afraid of not knowing what to do in front of the camera.
That is when my knowlege is priceless to help those working in front of the camera.
After the first 15 min, he told me she was not nervous and she followed directions, We got incredible images!!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure they have experience working in front of the camera, unless you have done it, you have no idea what it feels like, the nerves kick in and all the pressure to perform for the clinet is nerve racking, and that alone can cause your photoshoot to be horrible.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How much experience the teacher has working in front of the camera.
How can someone that never worked in proffessional modeling knows what is like?
