About

Eva Kalpadaki is a Brighton-based artist photographer, educator and an accredited life coach. She helps photographers develop their creative potential so that they move from feeling stuck, unmotivated and uninspired to living a fulfilled and purposeful creative life.

Eva is a highly knowledgeable and friendly tutor qualified to PhD and PGCE level. With 13 years of teaching experience, she delivers photography courses and workshops privately in 1-1 sessions or in small groups in live classes or online. Her significant experience in exhibiting in the Brighton Photo Fringe and other national and international shows and festivals allows Eva to help photographers develop their dream project towards an exhibition and bring their work to the public. She also provides university all-level study support in understanding photography theory, dissertation writing and creative practice development. She has taught for Phoenix Arts Space and Evolution Arts in Brighton, WexPhotoVideo in London among other organisations and she has been a visiting lecturer at the University for the Creative Arts and Loxdale English Centre.

In her artistic practice, she is not only using the photographic medium to produce a record and a document of the world, which is what we usually expect to see in a photograph. She is also using it to question the nature of photography and to cause tension in what we are looking at. She is playing between representation and abstraction. She was selected for the Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2008 exhibition among numerous solo and group shows.
