If you are searching Photography Courses Newcastle and are an individual wanting to learn more about your iPhone Pro camera, your SLR or mirrorless camera and how it works I can help! Or maybe you are looking for a Birthday Gift with a difference for a loved one with an unused camera gathering dust!

Maybe you are a budding photographer who is hungry for studio lighting tips. It might be that you understand your camera but want to go to the next level with studio photography but don’t know how. My courses are one to one, fun and relaxed, tailored to your needs and your skill set. Each course is designed to not overwhelm or feel difficult, but to enrich your love of photography.

A bit about me; I have bags of knowledge from 24 years working as a Professional Photographer in Portraiture and advertising then running my own Studio Photography Business. I’ve serviced giant National and International companies such as John Lewis, Greggs and Heineken with shots of products, buildings and people. I have been shooting on SLR cameras since the 1980’s as a teenager, processing in lab darkrooms into the 1990’s and shooting digitally since the early 00’s. My Art education began at Newcastle College then a BAHons in Graphic Design from The London Institute of Art in 2000. My studio knowledge crosses both portraiture and advertising so no object, face nor pet is a challenge! (my mistake- I learnt many years ago that cats hate photo studios!)

My 3 hour lesson plans can be tailored to your level of knowledge and skill set and to the areas you need support with. I can devise a lesson plan tailored to your needs if you drop me aline with your requirements. Or if you go right ahead and book me here for iPhone photography for business or pleasure  or book here for a digital camera tutorial I will be in touch after you book to discuss your camera brand and model and the areas you want to gain knowledge in. This is all arranged before your appointment so that you get a lesson plan suited to you and I shall fully understand want to get out of your time with me.

Camera Photography Course

My Camera Photography Courses give you the confidence to shoot on manual settings and leave ‘auto’ as a distance memory! I can advise on the basics of ISO, F-stops /Aperture and Shutter Speeds and how to balance the three in an area of photography you’d like to learn. If you have camera to bring to the session I can help you master the settings, alternatively if you are thinking of buying a camera I can offer mine to trial and offer advice on best way to purchase the right camera for you.

iPhone Photography Course

This course is for iPhone users and teaches you how to achieve great results with your iPhone that look like professionally shot images. There are limitations with iPhones but there are also settings that allow you to capture strong well executed images and video with edit facilities within. If you have an android phone, whilst the settings may not be familiar, I can teach you about the basics of composition and learn the way to make the best of light and exposures, so get in touch to discuss a tailored lesson plan.

Studio Photography Course

For my Studio Photography Courses you will already have a good knowledge of your camera and want to broaden your knowledge using a studio with lighting kit. You will have the option of using my camera or yours together with my studio lighting flash heads in my studio space with an infinity backdrop, coloured gels or colour rolls. You can have guidance on a number of themes including diffusing light, how to shoot tethered to computer and some basic kit advice. For more details see the flyer below or get in touch with questions.
