Private In Person and Remote Photography Classes


Learn a new skill, boost your creativity or brush up on existing photography knowledge by

learning photography with remote and bespoke private photography classes.

Are you one of those people who have a great camera but are stuck shooting mainly on “Auto”? I’m here to help you unleash the full creative capabilities of what the camera can do and show you how to create fantastic images.

As an award winning and internationally renowned photographer, I’ve captured global sporting events, been commissioned to work for major brands such as Nike, Four Seasons Hotels, Visa and L’Oreal, and photographed iconic people including Sir Mick Jagger, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and Presidents Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Barack Obama. My fine-art work is regularly displayed in museums and galleries, has hung in state senates and forms part of exclusive private collections including the "Sir Elton John Photography Collection".

I aim to bring all of this experience to offer private photography lessons, whether you’re a beginner or an expert. No experience is required - you can be using an Iphone or DSLR / mirrorless camera.

I am confident with almost 20 years teaching experience that I will help you create great photographs either way.

I offer remote photography lessons via Zoom/Skype. These cover all aspects of digital photography, post-production, Lightroom, Photoshop and much more. All classes are customized to your level of skill and what you enjoy taking photos.

Contact me whether you’re a beginner who wants to learn a new skill or more advanced and require a deeper understanding and mastery of photography to help you take great photos.
