What you get
1 on 1 instruction at a Sydney location that best fits the genre of photography that you wish to focus on. These sessions are ideal for beginners through to intermediate photographers, or advanced photographers that wish to discover a different genre of photography that they are not an expert in. Of course basic photography instruction is available but I like to tailor this to the area that you would ultimately like to improve.

Where your session is run
Photography sessions are based on the genre that you would most like to improve in. Destinations further from Sydney such as the Blue Mountains are only available for full day lessons.
For example, if you wish to focus on landscape photography we might go to Turimetta beach rock platforms to improve your seascape photography skills, or the Blue Mountains for waterfalls and Milky Way photography. Alternatively, you may wish to work on your portrait skills and therefore The Rocks area is ideal for this. Those interested in sports photography may wish to go to Eastern Creek Raceway or even their child’s sporting matches (if photography is allowed). We have plenty of freedom to choose a location that best suits you!
