Sunshine Coast Photography Tuition, tailored to you, your camera, and your interests.

**Gift Vouchers Available

If you are new to photography, I can help you understand your camera and learn the essential settings and skills all photographers use every day. If you already know the basics, I can concentrate on more advanced skills like macro, birds in flight, portraits and more.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It starts with a conversation. Send me your expression of interest using the form below, and I’ll ask you a bit about your camera, your experience level, and your photography interests. Then I will tailor a day just for you at one of the many scenic locations around the Sunshine Coast.

Every day of one-on-one tuition is different. A typical day starts with some simple theory, along with hands-on practice exercises to make sure you understand the settings, and how to control them on your camera. Once you are shooting with confidence, we finish the day with some real-world practice, concentrating on your subject of interest.

WHAT’S THE COST?

A full day of one-on-one tuition is $345.00. If you want to book for more than one person, mention this when you make your inquiry and we can discuss the most cost-effective option for you.

FAQs

I am a total beginner with my first camera. Do I need to know the basics already before we meet?

1

If you can charge up your battery and take off a lens cap, I can take it from there. Honestly sometimes the less you know the better, because my simple methods get you on the right track from day one. Meanwhile, if you have been trying to teach yourself (perhaps on Youtube) you might feel like you have all the pieces of the puzzle but can’t figure out how to put them together. I have a secret weapon my my teaching routine that makes sense of it all. For some people, my ‘Universal Starting Point’ is life changing!


I already know the basics, but I want to improve my skills in a particular area. Can you help?

2

I have been working in nature photography for about 40 years. That includes landscapes, rainforest and waterfalls, wildllife, macro and more. I even dabble a little in portrait photography. I am more than happy to plan a day dedicated to your chosen area of interest, with a location to suit. I won’t take your money if I don’t think I can teach you anything new - so if in doubt, let me know what you want to learn and I will give you my honest assessment.


What kind of camera is suitable for a day of one-on-one tuition?

3

Whether you have a current mirrorless camera or an older DSLR, I can teach you. Remember I have been teaching for almost 20 years so I can find my way around just about any camera. Even if it’s a smaller compact or bridge camera I can help - as long as it has manual settings. If in doubt, contact me and tell me about your camera and I will let you know if it’s suitable.


Where are the teaching sessions held?

I try to pick a location with subjects to suit your interests. If you want birds, we’ll meet at a place with plenty of birds. If you want scenery and waterfalls, I’ll suggest a place to suit. Many of the one-on-one days are held near Caloundra or up around Maleny, but Iam happy to travel a little further up or down the coast for a convenient location.
