History - Symbolism in portraits

From the Renaissance to our time, the post-digital age.

In this course, we examine the use and function of the photographic portrait and landscape throughout history. We study the visual experience in our modern, visual culture with an emphasis on presentation, design and the representation of the inner and outer self and the environment in which we live.

Gerlo Beernink's course "Symbolism in Portrait and Landscape" challenges you to translate symbols and icons embedded in our collective memory into modern images and link them to current themes.

Introspection and reflection

Personal growth

Reinforce your own style within the genre that you prefer and fits your personality.

Your portfolio reveils your personality. Your pictures show your view on the world, what you see and from wich point of view.

It also reveils what you don't see, your blind spots. In this program we focus on themes that are important to you and how you can express your vision in an artistic, photographic way.

Because this training focuses on who you are, your work will be authentic and original because it is based on your unique personality.

Thank you so much Simone for your refreshing take on photography and your different way of teaching; personal, with empathie and expertise.
This has taken us all to the next level. How cool to see where we ended up as a class today.
And if I speak for myself; you have challenged me enormously to look at spaces and environments in a different way.
I'm really looking forward to develope that series further, probably to a more classic way of shooting...
Thank you for your inspiration and your energy!
I hope to meet you again!

I am very happy with Gerlo's color management workshop. Gerlo can explain difficult-to-understand technical aspects of digital images that I could immediately apply in my work as a photographer.

Since doing this workshop, I no longer doubt the calibration of my monitor, nor the colors of my edited photos. This allows me to spend more time shooting and less time behind the screen – just what I was looking for!

I highly recommend this workshop to both advanced amateur and professional photographers.

I attended a Color Management workshop with Gerlo beernink.

Because how do you really get the colors of your camera, your laptop, your monitor and your printer to match?

Learned a lot, got a lot of insight, and it was also great fun with my fellow professionals!

Simone offers room for further development. Sometimes I feel like Harry Potter in Hogwarts; behind every door that opens there is so much beauty to see and so much to learn. From a reasonable amateur I have developed into a more professional amateur with a home studio. In addition to my own work, I increasingly shoot commissioned. Especially portraits.

I see so much room for further development. I feel that I'm far from getting the most out of my technical skills and my creativity.

I want to be challenged in areas that I naturally avoid but where there is clear gain.”
