Reviews
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.
Thanks very much Scott – Great session on Saturday morning down by The Rocks…. beautiful setting and Jack & I both learnt so much. Thank-you!
My 14 year daughter who is a young photographer had a 2 hour private tutorial lesson with Scott McGale and learnt a lot, he is friendly, encouraging and very knowledgable. Scott has so much experience to pass on and was great at showing my daughter how she could take her photography to the next level.
As an absolute novice in photography the course truly opened my eyes as to what magic can be created with my iPhone . The small group included people of all different levels of understanding of what the device can do .
Scott was very thorough and patient in explaining how to improve my shots , constantly checking that everyone was not left behind .
I can thoroughly recommend the course , so much so I’ve suggested to a friend they enrol .
This is a great course! You are guaranteed to take great photos at beautiful Manly, and Scott made it a really enjoyable early morning session.
Highly recommend this course to anyone who enjoys photography. Thank you Scott.
I booked a 101 Beginner’s session for my 13 year old son who has the interest and knack for photography with no formal experience besides a few months under the belt of experimenting with his new camera.
Scott was able to build a quick rapport with my son and coached him throughout the very thorough lesson at the perfect level and pitch making sure he understood every step. He encouraged questions, tested back and gave praise when due.
All in all it was a fantastic session and he came away with a greater understanding, passion and curiosity for the art of photography. We will be back for more lessons with Scott who is a true professional and all round great teacher.
Thank you 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…
Thoroughly enjoyed the Smartphone course run by Scott at Bondi Beach. He demonstrated & explained things very simply, making it very easy to understand. Highly recommend the course.
Great course, for most levels of knowledge. Going into it as a beginner I was taught about my specific camera, shots I wanted to take and how take them.
It was a great course I learnt a lot of things that my Iphone and camera can do. If you love photography or have an interest this is a fantastic start for beginners. Scott ( the photographer ) is very knowledgeable and understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and keen to go back for a half day class. Highly recommend this kids photography course with either smart phone or camera.
