As a member of the AWCA I had the privilege to follow an on line/zoom program with Brigitte during the last lockdown. She gave us over a period of three sessions several tasks that made you look at your home environment in a very different way. The feed back was very useful and inspired by the sessions I signed up for a nature /street photography course with her.

The nature photography took place in the Hallerbos and we explored the beauty of that area through the lens of our camera’s. Brigitte showed me how to experiment with different settings on my camera, how to take several pictures of the same image before deciding on the best one, how to look at the same object but from a different angle, and how to make a picture concentrating on one thing.

The street photography took place around the area of her studio, and the task was to focus on one object. I choose to focus on bicycles, still and in motion.

Again a very informative, inspirational and educational session with a talented teacher and very appreciative student.

My love and interest for photography has been rekindled after the quality time spend with Brigitte

"Brigitte's "Art of Seeing" workshop was a lot of fun. She made me take a picture of a candy bag and some extinguished cigarettes on the street. This was a great idea of you. I remember her words: "Look Philippe what a mess people leave behind". This makes her unique."

"The magic is that Brigitte guides everyone individually. She made sure that I could take beautiful photos in just 10 minutes on the manual mode with one lens."

Tuesday I followed a photography workshop with Kato. I found it quite exciting because I had never done this before. My dad often takes pictures, but I didn't know how it worked exactly.

Brigitte taught us a lot that day.

We started learning photography in the morning. She showed us that sometimes you have to look at something from a different perspective. And that sometimes you can make a nice photo of a detail.

After that we also started taking pictures outside.

Finally, Kato and I were allowed to choose our nicest photo and that photo was printed in a very large size.

I was very happy that I was able to follow this workshop and will definitely take more photos.

Thank you Brigitte!
