need some help?

We all do sometimes, and it really doesn’t matter whether you are a complete beginner or someone who would like to brush up on your skills or catch up on the latest technology and software … I genuinely can help.

The word "tuition" isn’t one I particularly like: it makes me picture someone just standing there, talking non-stop while you try to absorb everything, and honestly that’s not for me, and I doubt it’s for you either! So … what exactly do I do that makes a difference?

I simply listen carefully to what you want to achieve, and then I work alongside you to make that happen. Whether you’re at home, abroad or online, learning in a group or as an individual, I can truly support you in reaching your goals and getting the most out of your creative journey.

individual or group tuition on location, at home, or online:

My primary focus is on you and your individual needs. Whether you join small groups in the UK or abroad, or participate via Zoom, I tailor every aspect to ensure you always know the next step to take. Group sizes are intentionally limited to just 6 people to strike the perfect balance between individual support and hands-on photo practice. Beginners never feel overwhelmed or left behind, while more experienced participants often enjoy exchanging helpful tips and insights.

We can meet on location for practical shooting sessions or at my home studio, which offers an ideal environment for detailed editing and professional printing. Zoom sessions are available.

supportive learning environment:

WhatsApp: I won’t leave you high and dry! When you join one of my courses, you will receive an exclusive invitation to become a member of a dedicated WhatsApp group.

In this group, you can ask questions, share your photos, and engage in conversations with fellow photographers. It’s a friendly space where you can exchange hints, tips, and advice, ensuring you will never be left without support or guidance.

why choose me?

I bring over 40 years of experience as a working photographer, a journey that began with proper training in a London studio. I worked for most of the national newspapers and served as a Royal Rota photographer before moving into TV stills photography, shooting on The Big Breakfast, Big Brother, and The Graham Norton Show. Alongside this, I spent many years photographing bands in London, from the Spice Girls to The Rolling Stones.

20 years ago, I embarked on an incredible journey into travel and street photography. This new chapter has taken me around the world, allowing me to apply skills I didn’t even realise I had developed over the years. I have led photography trips across Northern India, the Nevada Desert, numerous places throughout Europe, and many inspiring days around the UK.
