Reviews
My “Private Photography Tuition” session with Scott was informative, instructive and most importantly, enjoyable.
I have travelled to some amazing places in the world but unfortunately most of the photos I have taken along the way have been sadly lacking.
Some have been downright disappointing and I have had to delete them in disgust.
I have only ever used the “Auto” setting because I just didn’t understand any of the other modes and settings.
To say that I really didn’t know what I was doing is an understatement.
I’m happy to say all that has changed after spending 3 hours on Sydney’s foreshore on a gloriously sunny day learning how to take photos in Manual Mode.
It’s like a whole new world has opened up for me, one which I’m only beginning to understand (thanks to Scott) and one in which I’m the one that tells the camera what to do to take amazing and creative photos.
Obviously I have a long way to go but at least now the all-powerful triumvirate of aperture, shutter speed and ISO have been demystified.
Thank you Scott!
Learned a lot of useful info and tips. Scott was so passionate about photography and teaching what he knows. Even patiently explaining again concepts I couldn’t quite get the first time. It’s a great experience and I’m so excited to practice what I just learned.
Highly recommend it.
I had a morning private 2 hour lesson with Scott around circular quay a couple of weeks ago. I realized after a group sunrise session that I needed to spend more time with Scott to really get into more detail on how to be effective with my camera. Scott’s knowledge is incredible. He had a breadth and depth of knowledge and delivered in a very helpful and progressive way. The highlight was watching Scott play with my camera’s features like he was playing a musical instrument. Highly recommend some 1:1 time with Scott if you are keen to take your photography experience even further.
Thanks very much Scott – Great session on Saturday morning down by The Rocks…. beautiful setting and Jack & I both learnt so much. Thank-you!
Scott came highly recommended to me by a friend of mine when I mentioned I wanted to get into photography but didn’t know where to start. I spent 3 hours with him in a one on one session and it was wonderful! He is extremely knowledgeable and patient and took his time talking me through the key things to consider when starting on your photography journey. I would highly recommend Scott, if you are looking for a great teacher / mentor then look no further. He has a wealth of experience and some pretty interesting and funny stories of his photography career. Learning from Scott is 100% money and time well spent!
My 13 yo son had a fabulous private photography lesson. Scott is a great communicator and made the theory and practical tips easy to understand. He catered well to my son’s level of understanding. My son is even more enthused about his photography now. It was also great that it was a morning lesson at the beach – perfect for me as the parent to hang nearby. A good use of our Kids Creative Voucher!
My kids enjoyed the course and now have a good understanding of how to use a camera using manual mode. Scott was friendly and thorough.
This was a great course with so much information on settings and technique packed into 2 hours. The course was fun, interesting as well as educational. Our mentor, Scott, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
I found this lesson very helpful and the tips and tricks he gave me are super helpful especially because I’m a beginner. I would highly recommend this private lesson for anybody.
After attending Scott’s excellent Iphone photo session for 1 hour at Freshwater beach for my 8-year-old Son, I have to sign up for the next course. Again, I was very impressed, Scott has organized and tailored the session very well, where he initially explained the basics of photography clearly and concisely and then takes you to diverse locations around the beach to practice. He is very encouraging and works closely with every individual, to make sure they understand the main photographic principles. The class was for my son but me and my husband too became his students all along the session. I walked away feeling more confident in enabling the trigger for my kid’s passion on photography. You can tell that Scott really cares about his students and is passionate about his craft. I’ll definitely be taking Scott’s next session soon!
