Reviews
Before I started this course I had no idea what any of the buttons on the camera meant but now I feel very confident when holding the camera and I can take moving shots of a car on a highway or s very detailed portrait showcasing a subject. I learnt about highlights, contrast, shutter speed, aperture and so much more
Thanks Scott I really enjoyed the course and learnt a huge amount. I am already getting much improved photos and a far higher proportion of good shots (at least in my estimation). Very happy to highly recommend the course and your services. Many thanks and best wishes Steve
What a wonderful 3 hours. My 14 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and learnt so much. It was great to be able to sit one and one and go through the steps required to be able take great photos and at the same time be shown and also practice the steps in real life situations. Scott was very engaging with both of us and his passion for photography is obvious and made learning so much easier. Thank you and I can highly recommend Scott.
A great starting insight into the world of photography. Scott is very thorough and passionate about photography. I’ll be back.
I got a voucher to do a 2-hour lesson with Scott for my 11th birthday. The lesson was great. We got to go down onto Manly beach and we took photos of the surf and all the surf comp competitors. Scott taught me how to control the light and the ISO and what everything does on my camera. We sat down and he went through what everything does and how to control what the pictures look like. I highly recommend doing a class with Scott.
The workshop leader was very knowledgeable and made sure every attendee was informed and involved. We were taken to 3 different locations under different lighting conditions that made the workshop challenging and full of interest. Highly recommend.
Learned a lot in a very short time to improve your photos. Scott is a great experienced teacher
My 13 year old son went on the half day course not knowing much about photography or how to use modes,settings etc on his camera. My son learnt so much and has asked to do another course with Scott. Scott was patience and my son extremely enjoyed the course.We used the Creative kids voucher and the process was simple.
Thanks Scott
My son and I had a 3 hour private tutorial with Scott this morning. We thought we knew our cameras pretty well, but Scott took us to a whole new level. Scott is a fantastic tutor who gauges your level quickly and adapts the experience to ensure you get maximum value from your time. We will definitely be coming back for more lessons with Scott.
Here’s a tip: 3 hours went by really quickly… Definitely book a 3 hour lesson!
I thoroughly enjoyed Scott’s 3 hour tuition in portraiture. His teaching is thorough and patient, from basics to advanced elements, and he constantly checked in to make sure I was keeping up. It was no problem to ask for second explanations, as he is very easy to get along with. I loved the systemised methodology he uses and taught me, and will be working on ingraining it to my methods as it’s efficient and delivers better results. With Scott’s guidance I walked away with some beautiful portraits of my daughter. He was also generous with his advice on equipment and other techniques. I wouldn’t think twice to recommend him to other novice to advanced photographers. Thanks Scott.
