BACKGROUND
Before photography I attended the ‘Amsterdam Fashion Instituut’ (AMFI), back in the days called ‘Mr Koetsier’. I got myself specialized in the technical side of the apparel industry. The work I got myself in did not make me smile as much as photography did, so I changed career.
In 2003 I graduated from de ‘Foto Academie’ in Amsterdam, while being a Traffic Manager at BSUR, an advertising agency. Then I assisted Carin Verbruggen for about a year. She taught me how to look for simplicity and aesthetics.
In March 2023 I started to explore Midjourney, an Artificial Intelligence Image Generator. I got hooked. Now I am teaching Midjourney with an online workshop ‘Introduction Midjourney’ or Live online workshops for ‘Advanced Midjourney’.
Wil jij ook leren om beeld te maken met de AI image generator Midjourney?
Hier kan je mijn online workshop ‘Introductie Midjourney’ doen, deze is geüpdate tot en met v5.2.
Als je interesse hebt in een ‘Live Introductie Midjourney V6’ via zoom, dan kan je hier de beschikbaarheid vinden. Deze geef ik gemiddeld twee keer per maand. Maximaal 4 personen per keer en je doet meteen mee. Ik leg dingen uit en laat het meteen zien, in de chat plak ik alle prompts die ik gebruik, dus die kan je meteen in je eigen bot plakken. Mocht er dan iets verkeerd gaan, kan ik d.m.v. scherm delen meteen de oplossing geven.
Als je al meer dan 2000 prompts geschreven hebt in Midjourney dan is het misschien interessanter om de Live online workshop ‘Advanced Midjourney V6’ te doen. Deze geef ik gemiddeld één maal per maand met ook maximaal 4 deelnemers per keer. En hier vind je de beschikbaarheid.
