About Karla
As an artist, I studied at UvA Theater Studies (Amsterdam, NL), visual arts at the Base for Experiment Art and Research (ArtEZ, Arnhem) and photography at UCK Photography (Utrecht, NL). As a photographer, I research the possibilities of performative photography and I have a fascination with the scenographic dimensions of the body in movement.
Compressing the tempo-spatial reality, tempted by the unknown magnet of the blink of an eye, I photograph to reach behind the borders of vulnerability.
Between documentary and fiction, I see images as storytellers and that's why I would like to share my experience with you. Because I believe that we are all storytellers and sometimes we need words, but sometimes the pictures can say all there is to say. Beginners or experienced, I will be happy to share my knowledge and my experience with you and guide you to discover your passion for photography.

My vision as a photographer teacher is to inspire and share the passion and the beauty of capturing the world around us with the camera. As a photographer it is important to train the eye and to develop your own visual language. As a tutor I am here to support you in this process, encourage your creativity and strengthen your technical skills. The courses I offer take into consideration your level, experience and what you want to develop further. Thats why in the first lesson we will discuss together where you are currently in your photographic journey, what you would like to develop and what your needs are. In the first lesson you are encouraged to bring photographic work you have made, or images that fascinates you. Starting by your current position as a photographer we will develop together a learning pathway that enhances your technical abilities and expands your creative imagination. If you are just starting up, you are also very welcome and no worries we will explore photography together.
Next to tailor made learning processes I offer the following package sessions that can be adapted to your entrance level. If interested to bring your photographic language (artistic & technically) to the next step you can chose to follow them also one after each other:
Technical Tools for for working with DSLR camera (beginners)
5 sessions of 45min
Knowing your tools is where all the fun starts!
These sessions help you familiarize with a DSLR camera. Through concrete and inspiring exercises you will experience the abilities that this type camera offers to you and how you can use them the best to achieve your photographic goals. For those starting up a DSLR camera might seem challenging, but after these sessions it will be a tool that gives the freedom a photographer needs!
Experiencing/Capturing Time (beginners)
5 sessions of 45min
Time has been fascinating the human mind for centuries and photography seems to be a way to capture it! In these sessions I propose a series of workshops in which you will explore the power of capturing time through photography. On our phones we might be used to capturing a single shot to immortalize a moment without really thinking about time. With a DSLR camera one of the main joys is the capability to play with the element of time. In these sessions we will be approaching in a playful way the influence of shutter time changes and how through this tool we can influence the story that is told through our image.
Technical Tools for photo editing in Adobe Lightroom / Adobe Photoshop (beginners/ advanced)
5 sessions of 45min
These sessions are dedicated to the work that comes after the shooting: selecting & editing. Familiarizing yourself with editing programs such as Lightroom & Photoshop, can help you reach the next step. Understanding how you can develop and enhance your images through photo editing is part of creating your own visual language. Editing programs are not the means, but a tool in the process of expression.
In these sessions you will discover how these tools can bring your photography practise to the next level.
Sequencing (beginners, advanced)
5 sessions of 45min
In photography the moment you capture reality is really important, but what we sometimes forget is the importance of the choices you make afterwards.
Which photos will be the final ones? How do you combine your images? The way you choose to sequence your photos can make narratives arise or disappear.
In these sessions we will be working on how you can create a series of photos and how sequencing is influencing the story you want to tell. We will be experimenting with shifting the narratives and enriching the stories through playing with ordering and combining images.
Concept development & realisation (beginners, advanced, semi professionals & professionals)
10 sessions of 45min
For those that are eager to start a new photographic adventure these sessions will guide you from the beginning till the realisation. I will help you to formulate, communicate and finally visualize your concept. These sessions will offer you the tools to imagine a concept while bearing in mind the artistic power of it as well as the practical requirements (from equipment tille time managing). If you have been already exploring photography and you feel the need to focus deeper on a specific subject or theme these sessions might be exactly what you need. You will strengthen your capability to imagine concepts through formulating their core and working towards a pathway that allows you to successfully realize them.
Visual Storytelling (beginners, advanced, semi professionals & professionals)
10 sessions of 45min
The world around us is full of stories. Photography is a wonderful medium to share, underline and communicate these stories or create our own. Which story is worth to be seen? That's up to you! In these sessions I will share tools with you on how to construct a story (either fictional or documentary) and how this can be told through photography. In this process images become your words and photography becomes your communication tool. We will be exploring various working methods and techniques that can support you in storytelling. Through these sessions you will develop the tools you need to create a story through images.
Portofolio Reviews
2 sessions of 45 min
A portfolio review gives you the chance to discuss your overall visual work as a photographer. These sessions can help you identify qualities in your working methods and can help you improve your way to analyze and communicate your work. How you chose to present your series of photos influence the perception of the viewer. In these sessions we will be reflecting on how you can underline your artistic vision in the way you organize your portfolio and we will reflect on your current artistic practise. Portfolio reviews are important in all the phases of a photographer's career, since they give the opportunity to dezoom, discuss and analyse the work.If you are preparing your portfolio for a specific purpose I will help you to improve it and will support you in your tools to express your work for the specific context.

Nous pourrions vivement conseiller Karla comme Superprof. Elle est très professionnelle, dédié et toujours avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme et . Mes enfants (6 et 8) ont toujours beaucoup de confiance en elle. Grand merci Karla.
Karla est un excellent professeur et très attentive aux besoins des autres. Elle inspire beaucoup de confiance et je la recommande vivement à quiconque souhaite développer sa créativité ou apprendre à nager.
Karla m’a accompagnée le long d’un travail pour préparer un portfolio de photographie.
Elle est très professionnelle et très gentille.
Elle est aussi très présente et disponible dans l’accompagnement de ses élèves.
J’ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à travailler avec elle et elle m’a appris beaucoup de choses.Je recommande tout particulièrement tout projet d'apprentissage avec Karla. Karla est une enseignante qui utilise des méthodes hybrides où le respect de l'élève, l'innovation pédagogique, le jeu, et la créativité dialoguent avec un enseignement des techniques traditionnelles de manière précise et patiente. Elle sait partager ses passions avec ses élèves et leur donner le goût de l'entrainement, de l'amélioration et du dépassement de soi-même! Au fil du temps, et presque sans s'en rendre compte, on franchi des océans... Sa connaissance approfondie des "longues distances" en font, une professeure à conseiller pour tous ceux qui cherchent quelque chose de spécial. A noter que le contexte de ses cours est tout particulièrement bienveillant : sécutité physique et émotionelle sont toujours gérées de manière optimum.
