One On One Private Photography Tuition and Lessons
If you are unable to attend my workshops/courses during the available dates shown and/or you require direct tuition, I am available for private photography tuition for one on one lessons, or for a small group of people.
Private tuition is a fun and exciting way to fast tract your photographic knowledge on both the art and science of photography.
Whether your are a complete beginner wanting to learn the basics or an enthusiastic amateur who wants to expand on a particular area, the tuition can be tailored specifically to your own personal requirements.

For the beginner I can cover the basic such as:
- Your camera controls and functions
- The importance of aperture, shutter speeds, depth of field
- ISO settings, white balance, exposure compensation, bracketing
- Image file formats, memory cards, lens selection
- Natural and artificial light, and flashes
- Camera equipment and accessories
For the enthusiastic amateurs we can expand on the creative and artistic aspects of photography such as:
- Composition and framing
- Rules of thirds and odd numbers
- Different angles of view and perspectives
- Portraiture
- Landscapes
- Macro and abstracts
- Nature and wildlife
- Street and people photography
- Sports and action
- Building and architechure
By the end of the tuition you should be more confident using your camera, be able to understand the photography jargon, and capture your chosen photographic subjects with more creativity. By then you should potentially see a great photo opportunity in the making and take it.

Extra Students: $50 per hour surcharge for an extra student with a minimum of 2 hours per booking.

What camera to bring: Digital SLR camera, a semi-SLR or a high end compact with manual override.
(If you are not sure what type of camera you have, please contact me on the make and model.)
What Lens to bring: You must have at least a standard zoom or mid range zoom lens. Feel free to bring any other lenses you may have if you wich to learn about them. (e.g. wide, ultra wide, prime, telephoto or macro)
Battery: You must have a fully charged battery, and a charged spare if you have one, to last a full day of shooting and repetitive viewing of the LCD screen.
Other equipment: Memory card (at least 1gb), a tripod if you have one and a lens hood if you have one.
Please wear comfortable clothing which allow you to kneel and if need be to lay down on the ground. And comfortable shoes since we may be out all day. I also recommend a wide brim hat for a sunny day.
If we are out in the sun all day, please be cautious of sunblock creams or sunscreen lotions. These can damage some of the surfaces of your camera gear and lens elements. Instead I would recommend a long sleeve shirt and a wide brim hat.
In case we have to cancel due to bad weather or any unforeseen event I will either text your mobile phone or email you beforehand with an alternative date and/or location.
