About Stoica
I am a professional photographer, and I believe photography is best learned through practice: by understanding what you are doing, why you are doing it, and seeing the results directly in your own images.
Over the years, I have explored many different ways of both learning and teaching photography. My experience with online lessons has shown me that photography can be taught very effectively at a distance, as long as the explanations are clear, the lessons are well structured, and the student works directly with their own camera.
My lessons are practical, interactive, and tailored to each student’s level. I do not focus on memorizing rules. My goal is to help you truly understand photography so that you can make confident decisions on your own whenever you are behind the camera.
We will work step by step on camera settings, exposure, focusing, lenses, light, composition, and real-life photographic situations. We will review your images together, discuss what works and what can be improved, and each lesson will build naturally on what you have already learned.
My goal is simple: I want your camera to stop feeling like a complicated collection of buttons and menus and become a creative tool that you can use with confidence.
After the first few lessons, you will begin to understand not only "how" to take a photograph, but also "why" you should choose a particular setting, type of light, or composition. After a complete course of around 10 lessons, you will have a solid technical foundation and much greater confidence in everyday photographic situations.
I teach in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, without unnecessarily complicated explanations and without assuming that you "should already know” something. We can start completely from scratch, or we can focus specifically on the areas you would like to improve.
"Photography is not about memorizing your camera. It is about becoming so comfortable with it that you can stop thinking about the equipment and start concentrating on the image."

I teach photography with passion, energy, and a strong focus on practical results. My lessons are available online, allowing you to learn comfortably from anywhere while working directly with your own camera.
Online photography lessons can be surprisingly effective. We can review your camera settings, analyse your photographs together, solve real shooting problems, and immediately apply what you learn.
My lessons are structured, practical, and adapted to your experience and goals. Step by step, you will learn how to control exposure, focus, lenses, light, and composition — and, most importantly, how to make confident photographic decisions on your own.
Within a course of around 10 lessons, my goal is to give you a solid technical foundation and the confidence to approach everyday photographic situations independently.
Whether you are picking up a camera for the first time or want to take your photography to the next level, we will work together at your pace.
Less confusion. More confidence. Better photographs.

Practical, clear, funny
Stoica is a brilliant teacher. I collaborated to teach photography to my students. He managed to capture their attention and teach them the basics of photography. He is totally adaptable to my individual requests, but also to the students, being very creative and putting passion into everything he does. It captivates you by the way it transmits information and at the same time remains structured and attentive to feedback!
I recommend him as a professional.Pkey is that kind of teacher you know you'll learn a job from. Without knowing him, it’s enough to listen how he speaks about photography. From his words or lessons you can immediately realise his involvement and passion. And that’s not all. Only by looking at his photos you can notice a job well done. He is that kind of photographer that can be found among the beauties of nature, in people's emotions, no matter what a season looks like, on the city streets, or on the chords of a music festival, he always captures the original around him. He is like a visual artist who depicts his life on a canvas by conveying certain emotions or experiences, and who describes reality the way he sees it. He emphasizes with all the details that conveys an emotion. His photos are stories and, in addition to what the image says, he completes with technical, compositional details, the arrangement of light and shadow, the right time to freeze the story on the camera. He is the kind of person who listens to an opinion and helps you develop professionally. And for a teacher, this is clearly something.
I appreciate Liviu as photography tutor, he is very professional, very experience photographer and also very honest with your work. If you want to progress as photographer, I recommend Liviu as a tutor. His knowledge , skills and experience made him a very good photography tutor.
Pkey was a great help in my learning and development as a photographer. He gave me a lot of tips and ‘tricks’ when it came to different types of photos and didn’t hold back to point my mistakes and help me overcome them. He is a great teacher and he really knows how to share his knowledge and inspirations.
Pkey was my first mentor who introduced me into photography events and I can't be more greatful for the helpul advice he had given me that helped me polish my still beginner skills. He never hesitated to kindly point out our mistakes, help us correct them and try to achieve the best final product. His trust and enthusiasm are really the best role model a novice in photogtaphy could have.
First of all, I can say that Liviu Stoica is completely addicted to the photographic art. Then, he is a professional and a free spirit, ready to help the people sharing the same passion, for hours, in an inexhaustible manner! Even if he treats photography very seriously and comprehensively, he does it with a lot of enjoyment, using practical examples and showing enthusiasm. He knows how to teach in a vivid and persuasive way, remaining a reliable person and an objective critic of his students’ work.
Liviu participated during the years in highly appreciated photographic exhibitions by the public during which he gained a very strong experience as live events photographer. We collaborate in several ventures and I can honestly say his work is outstanding! In June, Liviu Stoica will be the exclusive official photographer for a two week traditional open fair and festival, the biggest public event that our city ever organized! I think he is an ideal mentor and the perfect choice for somebody who wants to learn the secrets of photographic art, using a quick and correct method.Since six months ago, I’ve been learning photography with Liviu Stoica, which is a very dedicated and professional photographer I had the chance to meet. I’m periodically meeting in person, going with him “on the field”, taking different kind of pictures, from landscapes up to portrets in nature. Every time, my pictures look better and I am very happy about my progress. His best key in teaching, in my opinion, is the easy and practical way of doing tutoring. With him, these lessons look funny and easy to aproach and understand. I recomand him very much in tutoring Photography with begginers.
A few years ago, I had to take a photography exam and I decided to go for online tutorials. PK Liviu was the tutor I chose and I couldn't made a better decision. I had only 6 tutorials and I successfully passed the exam. He made everything really funny and he answered to all my questions. He is more than happy to help you to understand everything and he will share all his knowledge with you. I definitely recommend him !!!
