Taking it Further...

Night Photography

This is intermediate level requiring a sound basic understanding of camera controls
such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance.

  • Would you like to find out about photographing at night?
  • Interested in shooting the moon and stars?
  • How about the Aurora Australis?
  • Have you ever tried your hand at painting with light?
  • And don't we all love that magical time around sunrise and sunset, for gorgeous light and stunning land and seascapes?

Night photographs really benefit from some magic in post-production using Lightroom or Photoshop, so we also take time in the studio to work the images up to finished stage.


Creative Mentoring

For when you are ready to really polish your technique and creative output, or want to build a strong portfolio, or move towards working as a professional: individual coaching, folio review and critique to help you.

Adobe Lightroom

Photography is so much more than taking a good shot in camera.  Adobe Lightroom opens up a wonderful world of possibilities to enhance your images and unleash your creativity - and it's also great for fixing those little things we didn't quite get right in camera!  And you don't need to be a professional photographer to use Lightroom. Adobe have made it accessible and so easy that you can be up and running with Lightroom in no time at all.

o Discover the techniques that professional use to lift their images from ordinary to extra-ordinary.

o Use Lightroom to help you edit, catalogue and manage all your images.

o Hands on learning, with lots of individual attention and assistance.
