Work Experience
Eureka Photography Program
Instructor, Founder of Eureka Photography Program
Be an Artist, an art maker in photography.
Eureka Program is a unique program that combines painting and photography. This approach to education is crucial because the complementary nature of the two mediums will aid the students in their artistic learning. Through painting, students will bring about a different dimension to their photography works by questioning the boundaries of the medium. The program also provides training to equip students with the necessary skills and attitude to be an artist. Hence the program, with its spontaneous and creative approach to teaching photography will bring about excellence in students’ artistic development.
