Reviews
Just spent the last three hours having a private lesson with Scott from Photo work shop & I have come out having a greater understanding on how to use the settings on my Nikon D7000 I’m shooting like a pro. Thanks mate great class 👍📸
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.
Would recommend!
I got a voucher for a private tuition class for Christmas and wasn’t sure I would enjoy it, however upon meeting Scott I knew I was going to have a good time! He was so friendly and easy to talk to.
Scott was able to start at the very basics but teach at a pace that kept us interested while allowing us to take notes.
We were shocked to find out how complex manual shooting is however Scott made it achievable for us and I have since been able to put what he taught us into practice.
Scott also showed us some super cool tricks on our iPhones.
Was a great experience.
I was given this course as a gift from my son who lives in London. Chances are he chose the course because of its location in Manly, as I live on the northern beaches. As it turns out I would have traveled across Sydney to attend, it was that good!
Scott is a very experienced photographer and an excellent teacher. The lessons are fast paced and full attention is required to absorb the information being imparted, but the satisfaction of mastering the knowledge and technique is inspiring.
The 8 hours spread over 4 weeks is over before you know it and it was quite sad when it came to an end. However, this is the beginning of years of enjoyment in the wonderful world of photography.
Thanks Scott, it was great!
I can’t rate this workshop high enough. Scott is excellent. A great teacher and communicator. Explains things simply and logically to ensure students get the best possible results. Very well organised. Scott knows his timings to ensure the group is in the right place at the right moment to get great photos. His instructional workshop over coffee bought the morning practical all together and has allowed me to go on practicing what I have learned. I will be doing other courses of Scott’s as I progress.
I attended the half day course today with Scott. He was absolutely fantastic. I learnt more than I was expecting and have a new found appreciation for photography. Everything was explained simple and easy to understand and all questions answered with additional information. He was very patient. I can’t wait to do my next course. Highly recommend. Thanks for all the tips Scott.
Scott was very approachable and was happy to change our session time due to COVID. The session was very informative. The 2 hours went very quickly.
I thoroughly enjoyed Scott’s 3 hour tuition in portraiture. His teaching is thorough and patient, from basics to advanced elements, and he constantly checked in to make sure I was keeping up. It was no problem to ask for second explanations, as he is very easy to get along with. I loved the systemised methodology he uses and taught me, and will be working on ingraining it to my methods as it’s efficient and delivers better results. With Scott’s guidance I walked away with some beautiful portraits of my daughter. He was also generous with his advice on equipment and other techniques. I wouldn’t think twice to recommend him to other novice to advanced photographers. Thanks Scott.
I got a voucher to do a 2-hour lesson with Scott for my 11th birthday. The lesson was great. We got to go down onto Manly beach and we took photos of the surf and all the surf comp competitors. Scott taught me how to control the light and the ISO and what everything does on my camera. We sat down and he went through what everything does and how to control what the pictures look like. I highly recommend doing a class with Scott.
Re – Private photography lesson with Scott, November 2022
Scott was engaging and tailored his session to my level of knowledge, which was fantastic.
Scott has a wealth of knowledge & more importantly he was able to relay the information in a simple and practical manner.
During the session Scott translated the theory in practice without a hitch.
I would recommend the private lesson with Scott as a perfect introduction in how to take better photographs and how too get the best out of your camera.
Thoroughly enjoyed it and I would highly recommend.
Thanks heaps Scott…
