1-2-1 Photography Training: Basics to Business and Everything Between

Either in-person* or via Zoom, my 1-2-1 Photography Training Sessions are tailored specifically to your individual skill level and requirements.

Have you always wanted to learn how to use your camera? The fundamentals of lighting? How best to compose a photograph? Or even the business side of photography?

As a professional commercial photographer, I have many years of experience in running a successful photography business. I have worked with both small businesses to organisations such as The British Chambers of Commerce and Action for Children.

This course is designed for you. I want to share my knowledge and experience to help you wherever you are in your photography journey.

If you have never taken your camera out of Auto, I can teach you the fundamentals of exposure and the different modes your camera offers.

If you want a career in photography, I can share business best practices, from marketing to dealing with clients and managing projects.

The genres of photography I specialise in are...

• Commercial Marketing & Lifestyle
• Portrait and Headshots
• Corporate Events and PR
• Sports

So, if you want to be a photographer - either hobbyist or professional, here are just some of the things I can teach you...

• Photography gear to buy and why you need it.
• How aperture, shutter speed, and ISO form the exposure triangle.
• Composition, colour, depth of field, and what makes a great image.
• Flash and studio lighting.
• Post-production and editing.
• The business side of photography.
• Building a portfolio of work without clients.
• Marketing your new business.
• Finding clients and charging for your work.

At the end of this course, you'll have the knowledge, confidence, and portfolio of images to move your journey forward.

FAQs
Q. How long is a session?

A. Each session is approx. 90 minutes. We'll no doubt run over each time 😁

Q. Where is your studio located?

A. The studio is in Berkshire. In-person sessions can be at the studio or at a location to suit you.

Q. What happens once I pay for the session(s)?

A. You'll be directed over to my Twitter account where you can send me a tweet to let me know you'd like to book the first session. Don't worry if you don't send a tweet, I'll be in touch anyway.

Q. Is there a time limit on when I need to have the session(s)?

A. Nope, book the session(s) at a time to suit you. If you are booking 10 sessions, I would suggest either 1 per week or 1 every two weeks to keep progress moving in the right direction.

Q. Can I pay in instalments?

A. Absolutely, send me a message and we can discuss options.

Q. Can I book additional sessions?

A. Of course. 10 sessions will only get you so far. I would be more than happy to keep working with you on your photography journey beyond the initial 10.

* In-person sessions can take place at my studio or local to you. Any long-distance travel expenses will need to be agreed upon before the session.
