Monalisa Chukwuma

As an experienced photography tutor with over a decade of teaching in London, I create a supportive and engaging learning environment tailored to each student's goals and skill level. With 10 years of one-to-one sessions and 4 years leading small group classes, I ensure every student receives personalised attention and guidance.

My courses, such as "Photography 101" and "Minimalist Photography," cover a wide range of technical and creative aspects. Students learn to master their camera settings, explore aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and light control, and understand how lens choice impacts image aesthetics. I share techniques for achieving sharp focus, utilizing accessories, and perfecting images through editing software.

Equally important, I help students develop their artistic eye and find their unique creative voice. In "Minimalist Photography," we dive into composition techniques, mastering negative space and eliminating visual clutter to create compelling images that evoke emotion and strengthen visual narratives.

I draw on my academic knowledge, with a Master's in Photography and a PhD in Film Practice, and extensive practical experience to create dynamic, accessible lessons for all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner learning to use the gear you already own or an advanced photographer seeking new creative avenues, my lessons will inspire you to express your creativity and confidently navigate your photographic journey.

In my supportive, engaging environment, you'll gain the technical skills and artistic insights to elevate your photography. Get ready to master your camera, find your style, and create captivating photographs that showcase your unique vision.
