Reviews
Scott conducted a 3 hour photography workshop for our corporate retreat in the Hawkesbury region and it was well received by my team. Learning how to take better photos with our smartphones was something everyone was looking forward to and we came away from the workshop with a lot more knowledge. The workshop was well presented and Scott was easily able to answer any questions we had.
Great great session! The 3 hour session gave me the unique opportunity to get an insight into the photographer’s mind. Scott structures the lessons with easy to understand information. The complicated idea of ISO, aperture and shutter speed was made simple through a unique approach that cannot be found anywhere else. Through learning manual photography it allowed me to have full control to capture the perfect picture. As well as, many great tips that enhance my knowledge about cameras. It’s a priceless, fun, worthwhile experience that taught me a lot about the art of photography. Scott is patient, informative and has a great sense of humour. I would highly recommend it to someone who is looking to improve their photography skills!
Learned a lot in a very short time to improve your photos. Scott is a great experienced teacher
Scott taught us all the tricks of the trade to feel comfortable shooting events and photos for our print and web material. He tailored the course to suit our needs, including staying late to learn how to shoot at night.
I highly recommend Scott for Corporate Training.
Had a wonderful morning with Scott.. I now know how to use my Iphone camera. Its obvious Scott is a great photographer and he was able to share some of his knowledge on the day. Worthwhile course everyone should do. cheers
Thanks again for this morning. As mentioned, I found the theory part alone worth the price of admission. I’m looking forward to applying some of the techniques in other kinds of shots as well. There’s still a lot for me to work on – composition, DOF, processing – but I feel like I got a lot out of the course. Always learning!
The course was fun and interesting. I learnt a lot of new things, which helped my photography skills and knowledge significantly. Scott was very nice and helpful throughout the course and I am overall very pleased about this experience. Would recommend 👍
Such a great photography course!
Scott explained all the fundamentals and basics of taking photos and how to apply them. He put the exposure settings on graphs to demonstrate what was happening and the effect of it. He made sure that I was learning everything and it was all making sense before moving onto the next step. He also showed me what I needed to do before giving me a try, making sure I knew what he was talking about. The location was amazing as well, the beach on that day was sunny and relaxing, the ‘outdoor office’ definitely beats learning everything in a building instead of a beach. A truly amazing teacher.
I met Scott in Sydney as everything was being shutdown due to the virus. How lucky to do this before a complete shutdown. I found Scott to be a very good communicator, easy going and his enthusiasm for photography is infectious. He kept his teaching uncomplicated and was more than happy to answer any questions I had at any stage during the lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed the tuition and would highly recommend any of his classes.
There are no negative points for this review. The course delivered everything it outlined that it would and Scott, who lead the training, was very accommodating and hospitable (especially at 5:00 am when I hadn’t had my coffee and was sleep deprived!) Having a small group of 6-7 was very beneficial, I would, however, probably take my tripod next time.
