Reviews
Great session, I learned a lot and would like to learn more !
Very helpful. Thanks Scott
I am so grateful for Scott for his comprehensive Lightroom and photoshop session with my 15 year old son. We could use our Creative Kids Voucher, and it was the most worthwhile activity we have spent our voucher on. Scott’s responsive teaching style meant that my son not only learned a whole lot of new skills, but refined skills he already thought he had. Scott was willing to be flexible in timing as well, which suited us perfectly! Thank you so much for your time and teaching!
I want to say thank you very much for the lesson. There was so much I didn’t know beforehand. It was very clear about the steps and straight forward.
Amazing explanation of the different techniques, it taught me a lot of new things which I appreciate very much. Thank you Scott, and would definitely recommend to a friend!
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.
Overall, a really good experience. Scott showed me the basic fundamentals and skills of using a camera and how to process using Photoshop express. His explanations were so clear and he was patient on my progress while writing and using the app. Highly recommend for beginners.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
My boys (9 & 12 yrs) loved the two hours virtual lesson. Since then they have a great interest in photography. Lessons were very informative and interactive! Scott, you are an excellent teacher and they have learnt a lot from your lesson. Boys can’t wait to see you again and learn more from you. Hope to see you soon (may be in person). We would highly recommend you!!!!
Highly recommend. Both girls enjoyed participating. Great value.
This virtual photo workshop gave my two daughters a better eye for composition, a deeper understanding of how their smartphone works, and a greater appreciation for the powers of Photoshop. Both girls gained the most from the class, but there is something to be gained for anyone who chooses to take it. The way things were broken down and explained in really helped both grasp and implement techniques and practices that they had previously struggled with.
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.
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.
I booked a 2 hour online introductory to photography lesson for my 14 year old son who has mild asd.
Scott was great at teaching and explaining everything to my son. He was very patient and friendly and his lesson was easy to follow. My son enjoyed it very much and is now taking wonderful pictures. Great lesson & great teacher. I highly recommend photography lessons with Scott.
The best thing for me about doing a remote session with Scott is that I could choose the time! Really convenient being able to learn when I want and not to a schedule. And Scott is great at making sense of the functions and teaching easy to understand step methods. Highly recommend.
My 11 year old daughter wanted to understand how to operate our Canon EOS 750. We had a two hour 1:1 online class with Scott. The lesson covered the 3 elements of exposure, colour and a 7 step method for manual mode. We could not be happier with the lesson. Thank you so much Scott. We highly recommend your photography course. Very informative and inspirational! Our daughter is already putting all of her new knowledge into practice and we’re looking forward to future lessons.
