Photography Coaching and Tuition: Unlock Your Creative Potential!
Embark on a transformative journey with our Photography Coaching and Tuition services, designed for both beginners and those looking to enhance their photography skills. With over 30 years of photography experience, I offer a relaxed, patient and fun way of learning photography by actually doing, and am passionate about photography, our unique coastline and helping people learn and grow.
Don't worry if you feel you don't have the right equipment, I have a Nikon D500 with lenses and filters for you to practise on. However, you can use any type of camera, including a camera phone. Whether you're holding a camera for the first time or seeking to refine your techniques, we tailor our coaching to meet your individual needs. Take Your Photography to the Next Level whether you aspire to be a hobbyist or a budding professional, my coaching equips you with the skills and confidence to excel.
I will guide you through the fundamentals in our hourly lessons, starting from scratch to ensure a solid foundation. I would recommend you book four lessons and take them weekly, giving you the time inbetween lessons to practise what we have learnt.
Hourly Lessons for Beginners: 1-2-1 coaching
Learn the basics of photography, from understanding light and how the three elements of shutter/aperture/ISO can be altered to achieve the image you are wanting. Having a basic understanding of where things are on your camera would be good. You will learn the importance of good composition and gain confidence in handling your equipment and capturing stunning images from the start.
Half-Day Sessions for Skill Enhancement: upto 2 people per session
Elevate your skills with our focused half-day sessions (3 hours). Dive into specific photography techniques such as portrait composition, landscape photography, or long exposure. Receive one-on-one guidance tailored to your skill level and interests. Get constructive feedback and tips to accelerate your progress and learning by hands-on, practical exercises to reinforce theoretical knowledge. This is designed as a 1-2-1 session, but you can book this session for two of you, so long as you are at similar levels so you can learn together. If this is the case I would invoice you £100 each. After the session I will share with you online a work flow to help you with your practise. This session is ideally suited to those who have a fair understanding of photography and wish to take it to the next level.
Learning the basics of photography is fairly straight forward, improving your photography is all down to confdence and practice. Lessons will be outdoor along the coast from Whitley Bay to Tynemouth. On request I can meet you in Newcastle if you want to work on something specific such as street photography.
If you require accommodation during your stay, please ask as we can recommend some wonderful places to stay with stunning seaviews.
If you wish to send this as a gift voucher, once you have booked, I will send you a link to all our greetings cards - choose the card you would like - I will then handwrite the voucher in the card and either send to you or direct to the recipient.
