Improving Your Photography Skills…

I love teaching, I taught when I was in the military and also in commercial life, often on technical subjects related to mobile cellular, so for sure I know how people learn and know how to approach complex topics, whilst my experience in teaching photography is limited my knowledge is pretty strong.

Everyone is at a different stage of learning, knowledge and experience hence I tend to focus on one-to-one tuition.  There are a myriad of possible subjects to cover, some detailed below…

Subjects include: Raw versus JPEG formats, Bracketing, Focus (how to capture sharp images), Focus stacking, Aperture theory, Shutter speed theory, Creating a Panorama, Creating a well-exposed image, Working in Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual modes, Lightroom Basics, Compositional Fundamentals

My approach is to have a five- or ten-minute discovery conversation to understand where you are at with your photography and hence where to focus the tuition. I prefer to offer tuition to students within a 50-mile radius of Swindon, Wiltshire, this is not a strict rule but logistics become more challenging at greater distances.  My tuition, for the moment is limited to one-to-one sessions and in most cases will include a theory session followed by a practical ‘in-the-field’ lesson at a local beauty spot.  My lessons are centred round a DSLR or Mirrorless camera of any brand or model, lessons are not provided on a mobile phone or point and shoot camera.  Sessions could be one-off or a series depending on the client.

As a student you will walk away with a small pack of slides explaining the theory of what you will have learned and hopefully some good photo’s captured in the practical sessions. Theory sessions can be taught at any time of day, in virtually any location, your home, my home or on location (depending on weather).  Practical sessions are better delivered at sunset where students can learn the impact and possible challenges of softer and dwindling light.

Pricing can be agreed once I have a better idea of needs and will depend on location and number of sessions requested, my prices though are very reasonably as I am more interested in passing on my knowledge rather than making money.  If you would like to understand my tuition services better then please get in touch through my ‘Contact Me’ page.

Just as a footnote I am DBS checked and welcome chaperones if appropriate.
