What Makes This Different?
Great photographers aren’t always great teachers.
Plenty of people can take a stunning photo. Far fewer can explain how they did it in a way that actually sticks. Everyone learns differently, and a lesson that ignores that is money spent on information you’ll forget by next week.
I’m a qualified teacher first.
I graduated in 2019 with a double degree in Exercise Science and Teaching, and I’ve taught students from Kindergarten to Year 12 around the world, including students with special needs. I’ve also taught people on snow as a Level 2 snowboard instructor in Canada, and educate photographers in some of the harshest places on earth as a polar expedition photography guide.
As an official OM System Ambassador, I run talks and workshops for the brand and have an in depth knowledge and understanding of their equipment across a multitude of different genres.
So every session is built around how you learn, not just what I know.
Ways To Get More From Your Coaching
Start small, upgrade anytime
Not sure which package is right for you? Book a single session first. If you upgrade to a Pre Trip or Mentoring package within 14 days, the full $495 comes off the package price. You lose nothing by starting small.
Book early, get a bonus check in
Heading off on a big adventure? Book 8 weeks or more before you leave and I’ll add a free 20 minute check in call the week before you fly. We’ll run through your settings, your gear list and anything you’re unsure about, so you board the plane ready.
Bring your travel partner
Traveling with someone special? They can join your session for just $150 extra. You’ll both learn the same skills, help each other in the field, and come home with shots you’re both proud of.
Face to face sessions
If you are based in NSW, Australia and are interested in a bespoke private workshop in person, please get in touch as this is definitely something we can look at creating and is something many clients already option for. Nothing beats learning new skills while out in the field.
All prices in AUD and include GST. Upgrade credit applies to one single session booked within the previous 14 days. Early booking bonus applies to Pre-Trip and Mentoring packages booked at least 8 weeks before your departure date. Travel partner add on is for one additional person in the same session.
FAQs
Do I need an OM SYSTEM Camera?
No. I’m an OM System Ambassador and know those cameras inside out, but I teach every brand: Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic and more.
I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?
Yes. Before we start, I find out what you already know and build the plan from there. Beginners and experienced shooters get completely different sessions. In fact, this is the most crucial time for professional tuition. It means you are practicing skills correctly right form the start rather than trying to change bad habits later down the line.
How do online sessions work?
We meet by video call with your camera in hand. You can share your screen for editing and file management, and I can see your camera menus as we go.
Why are sessions only 2 hours?
We meet by video call with your camera in hand. You can share your screen for editing and file management, and I can see your camera menus as we go.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people book 1 or 2 before a big trip. If you want to build skills over time, the Mentoring Package gives you 4 sessions with homework between them.
I'm going to Antarctica or Africa soon. When should I book?
Ideally 4 to 6 weeks before you leave. That gives you time to practise between sessions and message me with questions before you go.
What happens if I get stuck while I'm away?
Your mentoring package includes WhatsApp support for the weeks covering your sessions. Send me a photo or a question about something we covered and I’ll reply within 48 hours. No phone or video calls.
Single session + Pre-trip packages have the option to add WhatsApp support for an additional peace of mind fee.
Remote locations often have limited reception, so we’ll get your settings sorted before you leave.
Will the session be recorded?
Yes, if you’d like a comprehensive AI driven PDF summary of our session this can be added at no additional cost. Once the summary has been created, the recording will be deleted.
Can you guarantee I'll get great shots?
No one honestly can. I’ll give you the skills, settings and confidence to make it far more likely, but the results depend on how you practise and the conditions on the day.
What if something goes wrong on my trip or with my gear?
You’re responsible for your own safety, gear, files and decisions in the field. My liability is limited to the fee you paid, as set out in the Terms & Conditions you accept when you book. Nothing in the terms affects your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Do I need to agree to anything before booking?
Yes. Every booking requires you to tick that you accept the Coaching Terms & Conditions. Please read them first; they cover cancellations, recordings, support and liability. [link to terms]
What's you cancellation policy?
You can reschedule for free with 48 hours’ notice. If you cancel 7 or more days before your first session, you get a full refund. Late cancellations and no shows are forfeited.
Can I book for my teenager or child?
Yes. I have a current Working with Children Check and am a qualified teacher with the NSW Department of Education. A parent or guardian needs to make the booking and accept the terms on their behalf.
What's you cancellation policy?
You can reschedule for free with 48 hours’ notice. If you cancel 7 or more days before your first session, you get a full refund. Late cancellations and no shows are forfeited.
Where are you based?
New South Wales, Australia. I coach clients worldwide online and in person, and all sessions are scheduled in Sydney time. If you are looking for a private face to face session please get in touch.
