About Adriaan
I’m a professional photographer who genuinely loves helping people feel more confident behind the camera.
Over the years, I’ve owned and run a photography studio and gallery, and I’ve worked across many styles, including weddings, portraits, landscapes, and international sports photography. My work has been featured in magazines, publications, and newspapers, and I’ve photographed events and competitions around the world.
But for me, photography has always been about more than just images. It’s in the stories we tell and capture. Painting with light to create a lasting memory.
I teach because I remember how overwhelming it can feel when you’re starting out - and how valuable it is to have someone patient, honest, and encouraging alongside you. My aim is to create a relaxed, supportive space where you can ask questions, experiment, and discover your own style.

English
My approach to teaching photography is relaxed, personal, and completely beginner-friendly. I focus on real understanding rather than technical overload, helping you build confidence while learning how and why photography works.
My sessions are conversational and tailored to you. We’ll explore the basics, talk about the type of photography that interests you, and work through real examples. You can show me 5 of your photos, and we’ll discuss what’s working and why. I’ll also show you some of mine and explain the settings, creative choices, and behind-the-scenes thinking.
With over 15 years of professional photography experience, I’ve worked in sports, weddings, portraits, studio, landscape, and portfolio development. I also enjoy helping those who want to explore photography as more than a hobby and possibly turn it into a business.
Lessons are typically 60 minutes and suitable for complete beginners, hobbyists, or anyone who feels overwhelmed by online tutorials and wants personal guidance in a calm, encouraging space.
If you’ve ever wished you could simply sit with an experienced photographer, ask the “silly” questions, show your photos, and understand what really makes an image work - this is exactly what I offer.

I have been privileged to work alongside Adriaan and to take photographs with him, and I can say without hesitation that he is an exceptional photographer and an outstanding person to learn from. I have seen his work across a wide range of settings, from nature and landscape photography to studio work and portraiture, and the quality, consistency, and creative eye he brings to every project are remarkable.
Beyond his technical skill, Adriaan stands out for his character. He is genuinely friendly, patient, and incredibly generous with his knowledge. Teaching comes naturally to him, not as a performance, but as a real desire to help others grow and improve. He explains concepts clearly, meets people where they are in their learning, and never makes you feel rushed or inadequate.
What truly sets Adriaan apart is his passion for photography. It is evident in the way he works, the care he takes with his students, and the pride he has in helping others develop confidence behind the camera. He is reliable, committed, and someone you can trust completely — he will never let you down.
If you choose to learn from Adriaan, you are learning from one of the best in the industry. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone serious about photography, whether you are a beginner or looking to refine your skills with a true professional.View more recommendations
