Loved the half day course! Very informative and learnt a lot!! Scott was excellent at making sure each of us understood what was going on and taught us so much. Can’t wait to do some more of his workshops in the future! Would highly recommend!!!

I enjoyed the time that Scott gave to me to explain the basics needed to really understand the essential functions of my camera. It was an enjoyable morning learning techniques to get me confident in using manual mode. Since taking the course I have gone over and over my notes to get a better understanding of what was taught, and I can really say having Scott’s notes and practicing has […]

Sensational photography course with in-depth learning experience . I finished with a greater understanding of manual, aperture and shutter priority modes which is a huge confidence booster . Scott is a terrific photographic teacher with a lot of knowledge and sets you up for greater improvement and wider skill set. I would recommend this course.

Scott has brought together a comprehensive beginners course, jam packed with plenty of information and practice opportunities. Scott was professional, personable and organised. He provided more knowledge than I could have ever hoped for in a 4 hour session, and helped each person on the course to configure the photography steps according to each of their unique cameras. A true industry professional! I can’t wait to see Scott next time […]

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

Scott was very in-depth and took the time to explain each step carefully so it was understood by all. The hands on experiences was beneficial whilst learning the theory behind the camera screen. I would definetly recommend to anyone who wants to gain more knowledge on camera usage.

My 13 year old son went on the half day course not knowing much about photography or how to use modes,settings etc on his camera. My son learnt so much and has asked to do another course with Scott. Scott was patience and my son extremely enjoyed the course.We used the Creative kids voucher and the process was simple. Thanks Scott

What a great course! Highly recommend it. My son had no experience & came away feeling confident with his new skills & understanding. Thanks Scott!

As a teenager with no experience of how to use a Manuel Camera, I found the course to be straightforward and easy to learn. I got loads of great notes and photos from throughout the day.

The class was really fun, entertaining and interesting. I highly recommend it for everyone.

First things first, he is a professional. He knows what he’s doing and the lessons are easy to follow. This was a lot of fun and I now know so much more about my camera and how to use it. He also gives good advice for what you should be doing going forwards on your journey. All in all he’s a good teacher, that’s it really, don’t need to say […]

The half day Saturday course met and exceeded all expectations. Scott is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced – and takes the time needed to make sure everyone understands what’s going on. The time was informative and fun, I learnt so much more than I thought I would be capable of. As essentially a complete beginner, I left the course with experience, my notes to remind me of it all, a road […]

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 […]

The half day photograph was an excellent course revealing the basics of photography in an enthusiastic way. The course has shown the balance within the elements of the manual with a highly passionate teacher commiting in an engaging fiery way. Awesome and fun course

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.

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 […]

Was such an awesome course definitely would recommend to people starting photography or even people that are advanced.

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.

Bill said – Arrived at the photo course with limited knowledge of manual setup for photography and left with a much better base knowledge of this skill to allow me to move to the next step. Great outdoor training environment as well.

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 […]

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 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 […]

The course was fun and interesting. I learnt a lot of new things, which helped my photography skills and knowledge significantly. Scott was very nice and helpful throughout the course and I am overall very pleased about this experience. Would 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!

I recently embarked on a 4 hr introductory course to photography with Scott. The course was very informative, and Scott did a great job explaining the technical details of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and exposure. Scott has a wealth of knowledge and shared numerous practical tips. Thanks Scott.

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.

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 […]

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.

Very enjoyable morning spent in The Rocks learning to use my camera. Scott explains everything very well and gives you opportunities to practice what you’re learning. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to begin photography. It gives you an excellent understanding of how to setup shots and use your camera in different modes.

I did the half day course with Scott starting at the MCA. A fantastic and fast paced review of many different aspects of photography. Scott has a well organised sequence of locations to show you how to use your camera for all sorts of different purposes, in different light conditions. My course started with Scott showing me how best to photograph the large, reflective and stationary Opera House and ended […]

the course was very fun and informative, a great balance between theory and practice. Scott, who runs the course was friendly and clearly showed his passion for photography. I would definitely recommend this course to anybody wanting to give photography a go

I accompanied my grandson, Mackenzie, and I am positive that Mackenzie gained a lot from the course and I would recommend Scott’s course to any young person interested in gaining knowledge in photography.

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!

He went very in detail with all of the different settings and types of shots which was very helpful in getting the absolute best photos you can out of your camera. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into photography. No knowledge about the camera is needed for this course.

I recently completed the beginner’s photography course and it was an incredible experience! The course was well structured with clear instructions that made it easy to follow along, even for someone new to photography like myself. Scott was knowledgeable and patient, providing helpful tips and answering all questions thoroughly. I particularly enjoyed the practical exercises, which allowed me to practice and apply what I learned in real time. Highly recommended […]

This course was very good at explaining the basics of photography to beginners. It explained the three elements that control the picture and what they do, and how and why to change them to make the picture better based on the photo you are taking. I think it’s a great course for people wanting to get into photography.

Great 4 hour course for little or no understanding of how to use the manual option on DSLR camera, Scott is very patient and takes as through steps methodically that are easy to understand, would recommend this course as an excellent starting point for photographers that want to learn how to take photos off the auto button

I had a great morning with Scott on the 1/2 photography workshop. He was incredibly generous with his knowledge. He’s a very patient teacher made things simple to understand. Looking forward to many hours of practice.

My 14 year old son used his creative kids voucher for the course and found it very helpful in learning the more technical aspects of manual photography. Scott is very patient and explains the process well so Liam can now go out and practice his new skills. Highly recommend Scott’s classes.

Today was a perfect day. I feel like I’ve gained so many tools today to begin using my Canon in Manual mode. Feeling so excited and equipped to begin experimenting with shots. Thank you Scott, really appreciate you sharing your passion.

Before I started this course I had no idea what any of the buttons on the camera meant but now I feel very confident when holding the camera and I can take moving shots of a car on a highway or s very detailed portrait showcasing a subject. I learnt about highlights, contrast, shutter speed, aperture and so much more

My 15 year old son was able to utilise his creative kids voucher and enjoyed a very informative half day session with Scott. He really enjoyed it and learnt a lot about the functions of his camera.

We took the half day course with Scott and it was a great day. He explained the concepts in terms that were easy to understand and worked with each student to make sure that they learned how to apply the concepts to their specific camera. Highly recommend!
