Tailored One-to-One Photography Tuition

This private two-hour lesson is built entirely around your skill level and your goals. Through hands-on practice and one-on-one feedback, you'll get your camera set up the way you shoot and learn the techniques that matter to you, from composition and light to the camera settings

What you'll experience

• Camera setup. Menus, custom keys and the function menu configured for the way you shoot, on your own camera.
• Skills in the field. Any topic from the Beginners, Intermediate or Night courses, taught one-on-one on location at your pace.
• Editing sessions. A Lightroom workflow built around your own photos, if that's where you want to spend the time.
• Bring a friend. Share the lesson with a partner or photography buddy for an extra $100, and learn together.
• Technical skills and creative vision. We cover the settings and also how to develop your own style.

Looking at a new Sony Alpha body or lens? Sony camera bodies and lenses can be borrowed to try during your lesson, subject to availability, with at least 7 days' notice.
