I just wanted to thank you for your time. Your listening skills, professionalism and patience has now got me to a stage in Lightroom that i never got to in any group sessions. The write up you did during the session is very helpful. I have referred back to it on more than one occasion. Money well spent. Thank you!

The best way to learn photography?
How to improve my photography? How to take better photos? Photography top tips.
If this sounds like your recent searches then you've probably been trying to find a local photography club or online resources to help you grow your confidence with photography or deepen what you know so far.
Having ran a photography meet-up with 500+ members i whole-heartedly believe finding a photography community is a fantastic way to expose yourself to methods, kit, styles and ideas. You will not only learn about your craft but will meet collaborators and make new friends. However, I also understand that joining a photography group can initially feel daunting, you might leave with more questions than you arrived with or not feel confident chatting to people about different aspects of the skill.
Joining a group or completing a short course may not even be what you want, or need. Instead, a few informal yet focused sessions may help you hit the ground running, bridge gaps in your understanding, resolve recurring frustrations or enable you to harness more creativity.
This is why I started offering 1-2-1 photography mentoring for individuals and groups, covering everything from creative approach and camera settings to developing a style and post-processing.
How it works:
- Arrange virtual or in person session/s (minimum 1 hour)
- Sessions focus on hands on demos (camera/software) as much as possible, depending what you want the focus of the session to be
- I produce notes during each session which i share at the end for future reference
- In person sessions are only available within Cornwall or Central London.
How much does it cost?
- £20 per hour for virtual sessions
- £30 per hour for in-person sessions
What can i support with?
- Getting to know your camera
- Building confidence with manual settings
- Understanding composition
- Applying creative techniques
- Finding better angles
- Feedback on your photos
- Improving knowledge of equipment and accessories
- Developing editing skills
- How to nurture your style
- Planning concepts and photoshoots
- how to shoot smart and effective in any location
- storytelling and improving the overall collection of images you shoot
- And much more!
My philosophy?
- You know more than you think you do
- Enjoying taking photos is the most important thing
- Getting out and shooting more often will develop your photography more than anything else
- Technical detail can be helpful but may not be what you need, own the basics and experiment with the rest
- Having fun, breaking the rules and finding the beauty in mistakes is key to becoming more creative
- A conversational approach and being able to talk openly is as important as practical application
- It doesn't matter what camera you use
