Danie has been lecturing extensively on photography throughout South Africa and has earned the reputation as one of the country’s top photography educators with a natural ability to teach. Over the years, Danie has gathered a team of world class lecturers with varied specialist skills to serve the photography community. DPC has since become one of South Africa’s top photography institutions. We present an array of photography courses and genres; covering basic photography aspects for beginners to more sophisticated topics aimed at advanced and professional photographers. We believe in small group dynamics and focus on individual needs. Class presentations follow a hands-on approach and our courses offer more practical class time and excursions than any other photography school in the country. Students get access to student social network, Photo Critic, where they receive ongoing support and photo critiques; even after they completed their courses. But what separated this course from the others was Deon’s deep knowledge of the application of Lightroom based on solid practical use of the tool-set. You and the rest of your team are awesome teachers. What blew us away is that we could clearly see that there was a lot of planning and organising that went into these sessions. That is why we both felt that this affordable course is well worth every penny spent and has added undeniable value Lee Lahner. What differentiates Photo Critic from other similar sites is the emphasis on increasing the skills of the members. Due to my involvement with other art forms and artists, and through studying the master photographers, my perception about photography as art, has completely changed. My visual journey into the arts started with the smell of oil paint and turpentine in my mother’s home studio while she blissfully worked away at her romantic interpretations of the world around her. Visual line, colour, expression and mood have always fascinated me and I’ve been using these elements to take interesting pictures of people and places around me. Technical know how and my history in the arts has added greatly to creating beautiful imagery. The quest to shoot natural objects with a patience and dedication to honour their inherent beauty led me to fine art photography. What started out as a mere hobby grew into a lifelong obsession! From Art Directing and styling, Brand building and bespoke design to photo editing for top beauty houses. The frequent road trips were the start of my journey into the simple pleasure of observation and patience. One can only understand light if you observe, and if you’re willing to work the light. As a young man, in the UK, I’ve had the opportunity to shadow top fashion photographers like Rankin and have been on some of the world’s top fashion sets. I, therefore, rave the opportunity to work with other creative people and is responsible for the wardrobe, styling and make-up for most of DPC’s styled shoots.
