Start with your goals
Training is designed around what you want to achieve, not a fixed course outline.
Private photography coaching
Training built around your photography, your goals and your next step
One-to-one workshops, practical field sessions and long-term mentoring designed around the exact skills, problems and ambitions you want to develop.
One-to-one support
Online or in person
Built around your equipment
No generic lesson plan
Focus on the parts of photography that will make the biggest difference
Every photographer reaches a point where general tutorials stop answering the real questions. A bespoke session lets us concentrate on the exact problems holding you back.
We can work on one focused skill, create a multi-session development plan or build a longer mentoring relationship with clear goals and regular feedback.
Private coaching typically starts from £50 per hour, with reduced rates available for longer sessions and planned programmes.
Use your own equipment
Learn with the cameras, lenses, lighting and software you actually use.
Work on real problems
Bring images, projects, workflows or business challenges that matter to you.
Leave with a plan
Turn the session into clear actions you can continue applying afterwards.
Areas we can develop
Creative, technical and business support
Sessions can focus tightly on one area or combine several into a wider training programme.
Portraits and Lighting
Natural light, off-camera flash, posing, directing people and building confidence during portrait sessions.
Wedding Photography
Planning, timelines, shooting under pressure, client experience, lighting, workflow, pricing and delivery.
Landscape and Night
Composition, fieldcraft, long exposures, coastal photography, night shooting and creative technical control.
Editing and Workflow
Lightroom catalogues, RAW processing, Photoshop finishing, file management and consistent delivery.
Portfolio and Creative Direction
Image selection, sequencing, visual consistency, project development and finding a stronger photographic voice.

Your instructor
Practical guidance from more than twenty-five years behind the camera
I have worked across weddings, portraits, commercial photography, events, landscapes, editing and photography education.
My teaching style is direct, supportive and practical. The aim is not to overwhelm you with theory, but to help you understand what matters, practise it and apply it independently.
I have taught photographers since 2018, from complete beginners through to experienced photographers developing professional work and businesses.
