Private Photography Tuition

Before I did Scott’s workshop, I was a very keen ‘auto’ photographer who felt that all the technical functions of the camera were too hard. After a four-hour class, I now understand how my camera works and what an amazing difference to my photos!

Quite often, experience overlooks and tramples ignorance especially when the window of opportunity is so small and the subject is so huge but I am glad Scott triumphantly overcomes that challenge with his overwhelming experience and humble personality to manage a group of novice beginners. His ability to teach photography with an impeccable skill of getting in to only so much detail without creating any confusion is sheer brilliance. Scott balances theory and practicals effortlessly and that gives the students a sense of learning and accomplishment. I really enjoyed my 4 weeks session, learnt a lot. I finished the course with heaps of confidence. Loved the conversations with Scott.

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed last Sunday Morning. In all aspects it was a great morning.The level of knowledge and the presentation where first class and it will certainly help me in my photographic endeavours.

Such a great day. Learnt lots and got some great shots.
Thanks again Scott!

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.

My 12 year old daughter has always loved taking photos and wanted to learn something more in a face to face one on one setting.
The beginners sunset photography course was the perfect choice!
Scott explained all the settings and instructions clearly and it’s obvious he is very passionate about what he teaches!
100% recommend the beginners photography course.

Excellent course, learning all the basics and an effective approach to keep improving my photography skills. Scott is very clear, friendly and has a well established method. Totally recommend!!

My 12 year old son thoroughly enjoyed the Half Day photography course. Scott was an amazing teacher and taught my son important camera techniques. Scott was engaging and kept the course very interesting. We will definitely re-book another photography workshop with Scott.

The half day course offers an amazing amount of information. The best thing is that the information is put into immediate practice with the guidance and assistance of an absolute expert.

I have already booked into the Manly sunrise course and look forward to building on the skills that I learned at The Rocks.

I am in the early stages of learning photography and had a great remote session with Scott. Scott carefully took me through all of the basic principles and functions and I can already see improvement! Would highly recommend.

Scott gave me a private lesson on how to document my paintings using my existing photography equipment at home. After wasting many weekends and dollars spent trying to teach myself using online tutorials, Scott showed me within 3 hours how to take sharp and accurate photos. Scott is very knowledgable, honest and helpful. If you’re looking to learn how to how to document your artworks, then I highly recommend using this service. If you’re not a trained photographer, you will not be able to create an accurate copy of your artwork due to the high level level of customised fine tuning of the camera settings and lighting.

I met Scott this morning just after sunrise at Circular Quay for a 2-hour private lesson. Absolutely perfect morning for it, with the sun rising over the Opera House and lighting the Sydney Harbour Bridge it was a magical time of day.
Scott really knows his stuff and is a natural teacher. He quickly worked out what I didn’t know and was able to fill in the gaps in my knowledge with practical demonstrations and hands-on operation of my own camera. To me, that is one of the big benefits of the private lesson – it may look more expensive than a group lesson but the dedicated time and specific focus on my learning needs makes it much better value for money.
I highly recommend Scott for anyone wanting to improve their skills with a camera – it’s amazing how much better the image quality can be in just one short session.

I got this photo workshop as a Christmas present. I have had my DSLR for about 5 years, always shooting in Auto and not really knowing what I was doing. I kind of knew the main functions of a DSLR but this photo workshop from Scott absolutely blew my mind!!! There is soo much info and cool stuff possible with even a base model camera.

Scott really brings out his passion for photography and teaching. First we went through the basics of a camera before he explained his model to get always a good picture (if following his steps). After explaining the basics we started practicing on real objects with his help in practice. The course went faster than any other course I’ve done at Uni, so interesting it was! I will practice with his lessons for now. I have had to move back to my home country, otherwise I would definitely have done more courses with Scott.  Definitely recommend!!

Good communication from Scott, especially when the original course was canceled due to rain. Scott was very willing to share his experience, answer our questions and help us in any way he could.

It was a good balance of theory and practice on the settings, manual exposure and principles of photography.

Took some great shots of iconic Sydney and really good notes.

Scott has a wonderful, down to earth approach, which is easy to follow. I learned many tricks of the trade to organise, process and enhance my photos. Invaluable skills. Thanks!

My 15-year-old daughter used her Creative Kids Voucher to do a remote live learning 1-2-1 photo workshop with Scott earlier this year (2020), using our home laptop to do the session via Zoom and her Oppo smartphone to take the photos. Scott taught her how to use her fairly basic phone to its full extent and talked her through using free software to process the images in camera. He was very professional, organised and flexible when we were arranging the session, and he was clear, concise and informative when teaching. She really enjoyed the session and got a lot out of value from it. Scott provided course notes and was happy to talk to her again if she needed any extra help with something. From a parents perspective, it was great to be able to access this course online and live, as we don’t have alot of opportunities to do such courses where we live. The course is affordable, useful and fun. I highly recommend.

Thank you Scott. I learnt how to take photos properly and how to edit them. I am now having lots of fun editing all my photos.

Scott was more than thorough and answered all my questions on our 3 hour private photography lesson! I highly recommend booking at least 3 hours if you haven’t turned on a camera before, and then a couple subsequent ones to learn the specifics of aperture, iso, and shutter speed! All so different depending on what you are photographing! I’m looking forward to my next lesson with Scott. Highly recommend !

Great course! Scott is really knowledgeable – there is a lot of information to take in and Scott breaks it down into easy to understand pieces. I was clueless at the beginning but by the end, I felt confident to shoot a range of photos using all the functions of the camera. Thanks Scott ! Highly recommend this course!

LOVED my smartphotography session with Scott McGale of Photo Workshop Australia. Finally I know how to produce beautiful images using my own phone. I was about to purchase some framed images for my home but have decided now that I will be framing my very own work for display. Great session Scott. You were organised, a clear communicator, and super efficient with time. Much appreciated. Can’t wait to share this session with our customers.

My lesson with Scott was so informative and fun. Scott taught me all the basics of how to use my new camera and how to shoot in manual mode. He made it very easy with step by step instructions and kept it simple and easy to understand.
I highly recommend Scott to anyone wanting to learn anything about photography! He was a wonderful teacher.

Maya (13) enjoyed her one on one session with Scott. Very informative and engaging. Only suggestion is to provide notes upfront so camera settings and theory can be learnt upfront. Thank you for all the valuable tips.

Scott is a wealth of experience and knowledge and could provide anyone advice to any level of photography. He is pleasant and patient and a great teacher. I would happily recommend Scott’s services and will be using Scott’s services again in the future.

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!

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!

We had a private zoom lesson for 2 hours on photography. We would like to comment on the professional approach displayed by the teacher Scott Mcgale via zoom. We were just in awe in hearing how much knowledge and enjoyment he had for photography. We really enjoyed the lesson from start to finish. His explanations were easily taught and we were given examples as we were being taught to go with the tuition and notes to write down as well. Thankyou for your help and would not hesitate in recommending his teaching sessions. We appreciate your help Scott you have certainly opened our eyes to what can be achieved in photography.

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.

Amazing insights and tips I did not know. My phone pictures have instantly jumped to the next level. Thank you.

A terrific way to start a Sydney morning. Scott showed us how to create a number of sunrise photos with a variety of setting and then a very cooperative group of locals enabled us to try to get some exciting photos as they braved the surf. Excellent morning where I learnt a great deal, now to practise and practise.

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.

Had the best 3 hour lesson with Scott. He very quickly assessed my level of competence and taught at my level. Definitely recommend some 1-2-1 time with this guy.

Scott was an excellent teacher, very informative and personable as well. We got what we wanted out of the class and more and I certainly feel much more capable of taking good photos and more informed about principles of photography and it’s technicalities.

I had a remote session and it was so easy! He made learning using Zoom easy to do and understand. He quickly taught me how to control my cameras funtions and I now know how to shoot on manual! And he even knew his way around my menu sytstem too. Great way to learn. Thanks Scott.

The course was great! I learnt fundamentals that have transformed my photography efforts …. I wish I’d known these key steps earlier. Great course.  Thanks heaps Scott.

Scott is an awesome teacher and was very engaging, explained things well and has amazing techniques. I learnt lots and will go back again and highly recommended him.

We had Scott in for a half-day session to complete a product photography workshop with our marketing and graphic design team. We ran through all the basics with Scott and he also came out earlier to help suggest some products to set up our space as we take our photography in-house. I could not recommend Scott enough, his attention to detail, passion for photography, knowledge and dedication are hard to come by! Our knowledge as a team is so much stronger because of Scott’s training. I would recommend Scott for any training, basic or advanced.

Today’s workshop was great! I loved learning from Scott. He’s a great teacher who’s very passionate about photography. Everything was explained clearly from the beginning, and put into easy to follow steps. I feel like I’ve learnt a lot about photography in this 3hr session. Now I have a really great understanding of how to use my camera in manual, aperture or shutter mode. Grateful to have learned from one of the best in Sydney. Thanks so much Scott. All I need now is to practice 🙂

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.

Had my lesson today and Scott was so patient and his explanations were very relevant to what we were shooting.  Can highly recommend Scott for that 1 on 1 lesson which as a beginner like myself you will get so much out of it.

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.

Great session, I learned a lot and would like to learn more !

Scott’s 3hr one-on-one photography course was absolutely brilliant! I’m just starting out and before the end of my course I was using my camera in manual mode with great results. This course is very structured, highly rewarding and best of all super fun thanks to Scott’s great energy and ethusiasm. Thank you mate I will definitely be back for more!

This one-on-one photography workshop is one of the best educational investments I have ever carried out. Scott is an incredible photographer and teacher! He explained everything in a way that is easy to understand and is more than happy to re-explain information to ensure you have understood and then applied it yourself. I would absolutely recommend Scott and his services to anyone looking to level up in their photography endeavours. Thanks so much Scott!

I had a two hour private photography lesson with Scott and it was excellent. I felt he tailored the materials to my unique needs, and understood what I was hoping to get out of the lesson. I’m a total beginner in possession of a professional-level camera and I had felt overwhelmed. Scott helped me get across the fundamentals of photography and not feel intimidated by the giant camera in my hands. The lesson had both theory and practical components. He deserves a full five stars! Thank you Scott!

I joined the half day photography course which my husband bought me as a present. I was struggling at the start and almost gave up.
However Scott was super nice and kind, explaining the same things again and again for me and helped me taking notes and encouraged me not to give up. Lucky it was a very small class.
He was so friendly and I started enjoying the class and surprisingly 4 hours passed quickly!!
I’m glad I did the course and I learnt a lot…something new!
Thank you Scott for such a wonderful Saturday morning!
I’m looking forward to the smart phone photography course next time☺️

Thanks Scott for a great 1:1 lesson covering helpful techniques with steps that were easy to follow and that I can replicate at home. Highly recommended!

I did a morning lesson with Scott and it was FANTASTIC. As a beginner I learnt more than I thought I would and could. He was a great teacher and explained everything in a clear and concise way. He is very passionate about his craft and this comes through when he teaches which makes the class extremely enjoyable. I am very excited to start practicing using the techniques I was shown. He has given me more confidence to use my camera. I will definitely do another class with him.

A great early morning class working on how to organise camera settings quickly and capture the best pre dawn light before it fades. Thanks to Scott for clear and timely teaching. That beautiful light lasts for such a short time! A coffee and chat with more camera info was welcome before getting in some action shots as the beach busied up. A couple of hours really well spent.

A fantastic experience. The provider was very experienced and a great source of knowledge. He made the morning a truly enjoyable experience and I have some beautiful photos to help me treasure my memories from the day.

This half day photography course provided me, who barely knew anything about photography, with a whole world of new concepts. The teacher taught each student in the class according to their camera that they brought to help with their learning. The teacher, Scott was organised enough to provide the students with not only a map of where to meet but also a list of equipment which was useful on the day.

Very rewarding. I had a 2 hour one-on-one session with Scott and he was quick to identify my level and teach accordingly. We went through a structured framework to master manual mode. I left feeling confident and motivated to keep practicing and push my photography to the next level. Will be back for more lessons soon!

I highly recommend Scott for private lessons. This was our second lesson with Scott. He was friendly and patient with my 13yr old daughter. His knowledge is comprehensive and he explains things so they are easy to understand. Erin had a ball! Her passion for photography was nurtured and fueled. She is eager to learn more.

I had a 2 hour private lesson with Scott and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a total beginner in photography but Scott was very patient and worked at my pace. Scott is not only very experienced and knowledgeable but his passion to teach others comes across throughout the lesson which makes all the difference.

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!

Really nice how Scott explained the basic on how to operate DSLR to an 8 Year old. He specially catered the basic of Photography to an 8 year old. After the 1hr session my son know how to enhance his new learnt photography skills. We will go for another few session to learn more advance technic and methods.

Very helpful. Thanks Scott

I booked this lesson ahead of a much anticipated trip to the Kimberley and it certainly exceeded my expectations. This was a very worthwhile 3 hours which flew by in a blur as Scott quickly and expertly demystified the manual settings of my camera (which had been stuck on auto-mode for the previous 5 years). I really enjoyed the way he structured the 3 hours to provide a practical, hands on and structured approach to taking photos and understanding the camera at level that could easily be absorbed. Scott definitely got me excited about some creative possibilities and I am already planning to join his Sunrise and Vivid sessions. Thanks Scott for a fun and very helpful morning!!

I am happy to have finally participated in this course. I had to postpone initially, but in the end, it was an amazing experience. Scott guided us in taking pictures using the different morning lights and also he gave us a lot of well-structured information to put into practice right away. I absolutely recommend it! Thank you, Scott.

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.

I found that Scott McGale’s photography workshop was both helpful and effective. I can now take photos with better lighting and framing, and also edit photos very easily. Scott is a great teacher and I highly recommend his photography courses. I will definitely be coming back for another course!

Really great experience. Small group so it was really hands on and personal. Learnt so much. Look forward to taking more classes.

Great session. Started the 2 hour session knowing nothing at all except how to shoot on Auto, came away with a knowledge of how to shoot in manual mode. This is a very worthwhile 2 hours. Can’t wait to put all Scott taught me into practice. Easy, no pressure, enjoyable lesson.

Learned a lot in a very short time to improve your photos. Scott is a great experienced teacher

Hands down the best photography class I have attended, I learnt so much over the 4 week period and will definitely be taking some one on one classes with Scott at a future date.

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.

Finally got to understand how a camera works!! Very descriptive workshop with great photography tips. Scott taught us how to use our camera professionally while being great company at the same time.. highly recommend doing this workshop as we will be coming back for postproduction and Lightroom

I have been taking photos most of my life thinking I knew what I was doing. This course has taught me that maybe sometimes I got lucky but I definitely didn’t know why. Scott breaks it all down in a way that makes sense. I now know why my lucky shots work and why I don’t get it right most of the time. I can’t recommend this course highly enough especially if you think you know what you are doing but are just winging it. In a few short weeks I know I am a better photographer and I now understand my camera. And if manual is a mystery to you just do this course. Thanks Scott

I had a very exciting session with Scott and gained a much greater insight into photography. My understanding of manual mode has increased and we explored functions and buttons I didn’t even know existed. The detail in his teaching and his background knowledge of photography as a whole definitely reflects his 30 years of experience! The class was highly engaging and the lesson was greatly personalised for my needs. Scott is a great photographer and I would recommend him to anyone else without hesitation too!

Scott’s 3hr one-on-one photography course was absolutely brilliant! I’m just starting out and before the end of my course I was using my camera in manual mode with great results. This course is very structured, highly rewarding and best of all super fun thanks to Scott’s great energy and enthusiasm. Thank you mate I will definitely be back for more!

I have a keen interest in still photography and booked 3 hour private tuition on exposure and advanced lighting with Scott. Scott’s creativity and motivation makes it hard not to be inspired. The photos we created were amazing. Scott is one of the most talented, professional photographers I have met and Is happy to share his knowledge, techniques and workflow with enthusiasm and excitement. If you are serious in advancing your photography skills to the next level, you should consider private tuition with Scott. We achieved a lot in the short time we had and I only wish I had done this sooner. I will definitely be booking in more private tuition time with Scott.

Was a spectacular way to start a Sunday morning. Even though I was running late our teacher Scott McGale was eager to catch me up on what I had missed and went out of his way for all the participants, in what was an informative and educational morning. Would recommend to anyone to give it a go.

Scott was very helpful in explaining how to take a picture and how to use free software available to make the photograph professional. As a twelve year old he explained it in a way I could understand and I have been able to apply these skills at my local beach. So many undiscovered secrets on my iPhone camera that I can use now! Even with the unforeseen cloudy sunset he showed me how to wait for the perfect light to get an amazing photo.

I had a great morning with a few friends and Scott for a private iPhone photography course. Scott was very informative and patient. He helped us understand the power of the iPhone camera features as well as how to use various modes and how to edit and create feature pictures. Overall I was will happy with what I learned and it was a enjoyable way to spend a morning in a beautiful city with friends and learning new things!

I used my creative kids voucher to do a 2 hour DSLR camera zoom lesson with Scott on the 12/01/2021.
I was a novice with a DSLR camera but with Scott’s guidance I feel I learnt so much in such a short time. His explanations were simple enough to understand and he made the lesson interesting and practical.
Scott was very professional and approachable.
I would recommend anyone who would like to learn more about photography to take a lesson with Scott. I am looking forward to doing another lesson with Scott in the future to deepen my photography knowledge once I have fine tuned what he has taught me this time.
Claudia

Scott deliverd a fantastic two hour workshop on smart phone photography to teens at Northern Beaches Library Services. Would highly recommend his services.

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.

With such incredible passion and a great deal of experience in photography, Scott was an amazing teacher with a patient and direct nature.

I would certainly recommend this course to all my friends who wanted to learn how to utilise their cameras to the max!

Thank you Scott! See you at the Sunrise shoot!

Thanks Scott, We learnt an incredible amount of tips & tricks from your 2hr SmartPhone course. I’ve immensely improved the qualify of pictures I’ve taken today, and these are everyday pictures I will keep for life, so your course was priceless to me. My 15y/o son really enjoyed the lesson & looks at portraits & colours in scenes very differently. This is a course everyone would really enjoy.

Scott was friendly and informative and his experience with photography of all kinds reallt showed. As beginners it is easy to feel lost sometimes but there was no question you could not ask Scott, he was very helpful and we both enjoyed the experience greatly!

We found the photography course rewarding and fun. Scott was very flexible with our request for my son and his friend to do it as a group of 2. He presented the material at an age appropriate level which the kids could easily understand.
My son and his friend had a fantastic time and came home with plenty of techniques for taking great photos with their smartphone and then teaching them excellent editing skills. Scott’s friendly and approachable nature made it a great experience.

This was a great class. Very comprehensive and went at a good pace to learn. Would highly recommend it to anyone hesitant on taking on a course Vs learning online at home. It’s great to be able to get instant feedback and ask questions.

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.

I can’t thank Scott enough for his extensive 1:1 lesson. He was able to cover all I needed plus more in our 3 hour 1:1 lesson – but ! I definitely hope to have another 1:1 with Scott to cover even more in the near future. Scott was able to show me how to capture exactly the type of photos I wanted (baby photography) as well as photoshopping. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much Scott.

Overall my experience with Scott was fantastic! Before the lesson, he very kindly helped me with my camera and lens recommendation and even offered to check the lens for me. The lesson itself was so helpful and gave me a much greater understanding of the process than I had before – since the lesson I have been practicing the steps Scott taught me and I am finding everything so much easier and clearer. I would highly recommend a private lesson with Scott to help you get to grips with photography, have a fun few hours and take awesome photographs!

As a self-taught photographer of 6 years I got to a point where I did not think I could learn anything more on the basics of shooting that would improve my work. When my wife bought me a one on one lesson with Scott I wasn’t very optimistic. I thought I had reached the limit of my abilities. However learning the skills of manual photography has given me greater control over a camera that used to dictate the outcome of what I was hoping to capture. Scott was professional, informative, patient and understood my needs. I still need to practice but he has equipped me and given me more scope to go beyond what I dreamed I could.

Fabulous! Although our class was officially cancelled due to the weather, Scott kindly braved the rain and went out of his way to accommodate us, as we were only in Sydney for the weekend.

Although Scott is obviously a serious pro photographer, he was able to patiently talk us low-tech baby boomers through the basics and we picked up a heap of tricks in the session. He tailored our experience to help us improve photography needed for our business. Therefore, not only was it an entertaining morning, but a very worthwhile investment. We highly recommend this class.

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.

Really nice how Scott explained the app. He showed me things that I didn’t know what it does to the photo. After the 1hr session I know how to enhance my photos now with the app.

Scott did an excellent job explaining the basics of photo composition and editing, making you an instantly better photographer without the need for expensive cameras and tripods.

My 11 year old son wanted to learn how to use his DSLR in manual instead of auto. A 2 hour lesson with lots of detail from how to hold the camera correctly to how to use focal length, shutter speed and ISO. A lot of information and explaining rather than taking many photos but once he got home and went back over the notes Scott had us write down and take test shots on what Scott told him it all fell into place and he now knows how to use his camera correctly whilst having great notes to go back and review. Scott is great with kids and made my son really comfortable to ask questions where he didn’t understand. Highly recommended!!

AMAZING!! Initially, I was a little nervous about the pressure of a private lesson but it was definitely the right decision. Scott was unbelievable! He shared so much knowledge, patience and kindness with me. I’m just a beginner and I have walked away with such a huge depth of knowledge. I’m so excited and motivated to start taking some quality photos with Scott’s fail-proof tips. I can’t wait to catch up again when I’m ready to take it to the next level.

The corporate photography session with Scott was great. We found it very insightful and useful for the team. Scott was knowledgeable and approachable with a lot of handy tips and experience.

We completed the session in one day but would recommend spreading it out over two days as there’s a lot of technical information to get your head around and to practice, especially for beginners.

Thanks for an informative and fun day Scott.

I found the introductory course to be really fun. I didn’t realise there was so much to learn but Scott was great at explaining everything and showing me how to apply what he had taught me. I’ve been practicing since the course and look forward to learning more about photography and getting new skills.

With such incredible passion and a great deal of experience in photography, Scott was an amazing teacher with a patient and direct nature.

I would certainly recommend this course to all my friends who wanted to learn how to utilise their cameras to the max!

Thank you Scott! See you at the Sunrise shoot!

Instructions and techniques are simple enough to apply, yet sophisticated enough to make an absolute difference in manual photography. I’m planning to take the manly sunrise class in a couple of weeks before we go on holidays. Also Scott helped me to find a focusing defect (manufacturing defect) on my a6400 and Sony chatswood agreed and replaced my camera over the counter! It’s a win win situation for me. Thanks Scott.

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.

Great 3 hour time with Scott—-very worthwhile. Certainly, my experience is, the “one on one”tuition by Scott has moved my camera / photography understanding to a new level. I’m excited to now have greater confidence with my camera.
Highly recommend Scott.

A wonderful experience. We learned so much and have put it into practice. Scott’s knowledge and enthusiasm are infectious and he obviously knows photo editing. There is no way we would have gained the skills on our own. Highly recommend – it would not matter what level or experience.

Great course! Scott was very knowledgeable about the iphone camera features and very professional in the delivery of the course. Highly recommended.
