Nam ars nobilis via amoris est.
I teach people to see.
Then to paint, grade, and finish what they saw. Twenty years at the easel and in the compositor — now most of it goes into mentoring artists one at a time, and finishing film for the people who made it.
Three disciplines, one method.
Painting
Original paintings and studio work, built on twenty years at the easel — exhibited across Egypt, Italy, and Germany.
oil, tempera, works on paperMentoring & tutoring
One-on-one with artists and photographers at any stage — from fundamentals, through DaVinci Resolve, to finding a practice of your own.
in person or remote, by the quarterVFX & colour grading
Compositing, colour grading, and finishing for independent films — and the visual identity and workflow systems studios ask me to build.
DaVinci Resolve · NukeCraft first, theory after. The research exists to make the teaching better — testing what actually helps an artist see.
The Photography Intensive.
Seven sessions, from seeing light to a finished, edited photo essay — the same course I teach one-on-one, now in your dashboard. Application required; enrolment is limited each quarter, deliberately.
Editing more than shooting? The Resolve Course — free, self-paced, DaVinci Resolve from the first cut to the final grade.
- S1Seeing lightHow light describes form before it describes colour.
- S2Value before colourReading an image in greyscale, and why it decides everything.
- S3Composition as decisionWhat to leave out, and how the eye is led.
- S4Colour & temperatureWhy an image feels warm or cool, and how to steer it.
- S5The camera as instrumentExposure, focal length, distance — chosen, not defaulted.
- S6Grading in DaVinci ResolveA grade, not a filter: intention held from shot to shot.
- S7The photo essaySequencing a finished, edited set that holds together.
