What Our Clients Say About our Online Courses

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It is very inspiring and it has given me lots of valuable information and ideas to play with. I have gone through the entire course first and will now take my time and incorporate and apply some of the concepts into my projects. Thank you Sima!

The course is totally different from most other photography courses. It’s all about photography art, where the rules of photography craft are allowed to be violated to emphasize the mood, to bring a feeling to the viewer. From the beginning, I was in doubt if I liked it but in the end a big thumbs up from me.

Der Kurs ist Optimal, und die Lehrmethode ist großartig. The teacher explains in a very good way and lets her ideas reach the listeners in a clear and interesting way.

It's great if you're trying to improve the artistic aspects of photography and it has helped me a lot with perspective.

This is my favorite course ever! During the three hours of this course, you'll really take your photography to the next level! It enhances your creativity with new mental processes, you practice with organization workflow and you take your mind to find your own style. Course highly strongly recommended!

The course promises a journey to self-development in creative domains. In my opinion, it fulfills this promise well. I especially like the part about coping with self-doubt and excuses. I think the journey will help me to be more efficient and focused on my artwork (Photography).

The course is very well structured. The examples given during the course helped to understand the concepts. It gave me a lot of new ideas about how to approach the creative process in the future 🙂

About the Author

Born in Chicago, I received my B.A. in Studio Arts with a concentration in Photography from Oberlin College. In 2001, I moved to Amman, Jordan where I worked both as a contemporary artist and as a photojournalist. I exhibited my photography in numerous exhibitions throughout the Middle East and internationally.

Eventually, I became the lead photographer for a Jordanian Lifestyle Magazine and Photo Editor for two regional publications: a Fashion Magazine and a Men’s Magazine. This allowed me to gain a second editorial eye for photography, as I regularly organized, commissioned, and published photoshoots from other talented photographers in the region.

While in Jordan, I also began teaching courses and workshops on Drawing, Seeing with Perspective, and Photography. I consider my teaching style to be somewhat radical but very effective and have received much positive feedback from my students through the years, who in turn became professional artists themselves.

In 2007, I moved to Berlin, Germany where I am currently based, and while I continue to expand my own fine art photography and contemporary art practices, I gain special joy and satisfaction from sharing my experiences and knowledge with my students.
