About Daria

Hi, my name is Daria (she/her). I am an experienced tutor and an exhibited, published and award-winning visual artist. I have experience working for a large photography festival, I lead narration in photography workshops, I give portfolio reviews, I work as a photobook editor, have been teaching and tutoring for years, as well as I've supported people with disabilities in learning.

I have studied internationally, I completed a BA in Journalism, Ba in Film, Television and Photographic Art and New Media, completing MA in Creative Photography, completed additional in-person courses and mentorship programs in photography (2 years).

Additionally, I have completed a MSc Experimental Psychology and a postgraduate course in Psychotraumatology and I'm interested in using art as a tool for self-therapy.

About the lesson

I will help you develop your artistic voice, learn techniques, use art as a therapeutic tool and prepare an application. Whether you're just embarking on your artistic journey, or are a long-term practitioner, I provide support, guidance and tools for you to reach your artistic goals or develop your passion project.

I am the right person if you need:
resources and guidance on learning about art, photography and it's techniques
portfolio review and mentoring, guidance on planning and finishing your project
to apply for an art/photography degree, or a degree abroad
to find your artistic voice guidance in preparing your publication, including photobooks and zines
to use visual art for self-therapy
to prepare to work as a freelancer
guidance in art research, or art-science research practice.

Lessons are held one-on-one, tailored to your goals and pace. We'll agree on a frequency that fits your project/learning timeline—whether that's weekly check-ins, a more intensive run-up to a deadline (application, exhibition, or publication), or maybe you need a once-monthly mentoring.

Structure
Every session is shaped around where you are in your project/journey, but generally includes:
Check-in and review—looking at what you've made since our last session, discussing what worked and what didn't
Focused teaching or critique—technique instruction, portfolio review, narrative and sequencing feedback, or research guidance depending on your current stage
Hands-on work or discussion—working through a specific problem together, whether that's a technical skill, an editing decision, or finding language for your artist statement
Next steps—clear, achievable goals to work on before we meet again

Who is it for
Beginners and experienced practitioners—anyone looking for guidance on technique, project development, applications, publishing, or using art as a means of self-exploration.

I am committed to providing a safe space for being and expression. Everyone is welcome without exceptions, including people identifying as LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disabled and neurodivergent. I am a queer AuDHD woman.
