Reviews
Received a two hour session with Scott as a gift. Scott was engaging and a wealth of knowledge. He structured the two hours to my existing skill level and somehow answered all my questions even without me asking. The step by step methods were easy to understand and he gave me practical tips to use for my subject. He demonstrated the differences well. Would recommend for beginners and those who are self taught and wanting to learn technique.
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.
My son and I had a 3 hour private tutorial with Scott this morning. We thought we knew our cameras pretty well, but Scott took us to a whole new level. Scott is a fantastic tutor who gauges your level quickly and adapts the experience to ensure you get maximum value from your time. We will definitely be coming back for more lessons with Scott.
Here’s a tip: 3 hours went by really quickly… Definitely book a 3 hour lesson!
After having had a private course with Scott, I can say he’s an absolutely fantastic tutor. He’s endlessly patient and is happy to reiterate and return to anything that might’ve missed you the first time of explaining. You can feel he has real and genuine desire for you to learn, progress, and above all enjoy what you’re doing. It’s how Scott receives satisfaction from his work and in my opinion, that’s the trait you want most of all from any teacher. I couldn’t give him higher commendation, though I would recommend splurging on three hours, rather than two or the group course. A long one-on-one session is what’s going to be most effective at giving you a more full and developed skillset.
I attended your Saturday workshop, and wanted to thank you for your consideration and patience. I typed up my scribbled notes and realised that there was a lot of learning crammed into that morning, especially for a newby who had not used any non automatic settings before.
I had tried to make sense of some of the myriad on-line tutorials, but found them confusing and rushed. Your patient explanation of how the settings worked, their relationships and effect were a breath of fresh air for me. I can now see that I need to practice your lessons until I am proficient, but I now have the confidence to do that. Once again, thank you.
Such a great day. Learnt lots and got some great shots.
Thanks again Scott!
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
I loved my one on one lesson with Scott. He is very knowledgable and made learning about photography really fun! I now look at subjects in a different way and feel confident to use the settings on my iPad to produce beautiful pictures. Thanks Scott!
I enjoyed the course very much and would happily take part in another course. I learnt a lot about my camera and the different settings towards taking different shots.
I think this course, and other ones in the future, will help me develop a greater understanding of taking great/amazing photos. The course has deepened my knowledge and I would definitely recommend this course to others, especially if you’re new to using a camera or like myself would like to know more about the use and functions of my camera abilities.
Scott is a fantastic teacher. We worked through the basic functions of the camera and he made all of the camera modes easy to understand. The practical exercises were really fun and engaging and I had first hand experience on how to use the camera in a variety of settings and for a variety of shots. Would absolutely recommend to others wanting to learn photography.
