Photography tution from an experienced professional photographer and tutor

I am a qualified adult education photography tutor

My photography tuition is about improving your photography by expanding your knowledge and finding solutions, not about criticism.

Your tutorials will concentrate on the practical – you will learn by doing not by sitting around watching me take photographs. Photography is both a craft and an art and both of these can be learnt.

During the tuition process I will often ask you what is the picture for? Pictures for commercial use need to be technically perfect but often don’t need to be great art. Pictures for publication may need to be technically perfect and contain artistic elements but a photograph of a major news event doesn’t have to be either (although it is more likely to sell if it is).

Fine art pictures need the photographer to be in control of the technical aspects of the medium to produce their vision. If you just want to take better pictures for your own enjoyment, then I can help you build on your technical and compositional skills as well as helping you see new opportunities for photographs.

Tuition is available face to face, via e mail, Skype or Zoom.

Creative Nude Photography – Thinking About It is available as a PDF or printed book.

I have worked as a professional photographer for over forty years. For much of that time I ran my own business, a large commercial and portrait studio in Hampshire.

My commercial experience has included producing pictures for advertising, catalogues and private portrait clients.

Later I specialized in editorial and portrait photography including book covers and boudoir style portraits.
