Reviews
The introductory course was really enjoyable and challenging. We had a really small group number which made there lots of personalised attention. I’ve already improved so much in my photography skills and am now able to analyse photos in a whole different light. Scott was friendly, enthusiastic, highly experienced, knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. His passion for photography was contagious!
Learned a lot in a very short time to improve your photos. Scott is a great experienced teacher
I want to say thank you very much for the lesson. There was so much I didn’t know beforehand. It was very clear about the steps and straight forward.
Scott was very approachable and was happy to change our session time due to COVID. The session was very informative. The 2 hours went very quickly.
Good introductory course, very helpful in understanding general photography principles. For a 2 hr time limit, there is a higher theory compared to hands-on ratio. Scott is very knowledgeable and is a good communicator for a teenager client.
As a self-taught photographer of 6 years I got to a point where I did not think I could learn anything more on the basics of shooting that would improve my work. When my wife bought me a one on one lesson with Scott I wasn’t very optimistic. I thought I had reached the limit of my abilities. However learning the skills of manual photography has given me greater control over a camera that used to dictate the outcome of what I was hoping to capture. Scott was professional, informative, patient and understood my needs. I still need to practice but he has equipped me and given me more scope to go beyond what I dreamed I could.
A terrific way to start a Sydney morning. Scott showed us how to create a number of sunrise photos with a variety of setting and then a very cooperative group of locals enabled us to try to get some exciting photos as they braved the surf. Excellent morning where I learnt a great deal, now to practise and practise.
Wow, my daughter and two of her teenage friends loved Scott’s 2 hour Iphone sunset lesson at Freshwater rock pool. His passion for photography had them inspired & engaged so the time just flew by. Us mom’s had a quick hours walk and then joined in the lesson with our own phones too. They learned so much in such a short time and were amazed by what editing can be done in the free app. All three girls loved it & were laughing at the crazy edits they could do with each others pics. A great skill to learn for high school projects and free when using the creative kids voucher. Thanks for fostering their interest in photography Scott!
I booked this lesson ahead of a much anticipated trip to the Kimberley and it certainly exceeded my expectations. This was a very worthwhile 3 hours which flew by in a blur as Scott quickly and expertly demystified the manual settings of my camera (which had been stuck on auto-mode for the previous 5 years). I really enjoyed the way he structured the 3 hours to provide a practical, hands on and structured approach to taking photos and understanding the camera at level that could easily be absorbed. Scott definitely got me excited about some creative possibilities and I am already planning to join his Sunrise and Vivid sessions. Thanks Scott for a fun and very helpful morning!!
Had my lesson today and Scott was so patient and his explanations were very relevant to what we were shooting. Can highly recommend Scott for that 1 on 1 lesson which as a beginner like myself you will get so much out of it.
