Photography advice, one on one. Your camera explained in easy ways you will understand.

You have a shiny new camera, and no idea how to use it. You’ve played with it in Sport mode, but you don’t know how to freeze your dog’s action photographs. You want to make portraits of blown out backgrounds and beautiful bokeh, but no matter what you do, you’re not achieving it. Perhaps you want to build a gorgeous insta feed or maybe you’d like to take your photography hobby a little more seriously.

When you’re shooting with a camera you don’t understand, it can be incredibly frustrating. But the truth is you don’t understand it. Yet.

There’s so many complicated buttons and they all work in sync with each other, when you change one thing everything else seem to fall apart. But it doesn’t have to be hard.

It took me years to bite the bullet and finally learn and understand MANUAL mode.

I’m a creative, so just the thought of understanding the technical bits and know how of photography was enough to make me want to run away.

I’m not going to teach you how to shoot in manual mode, but I’ll explain it in a simple way, so you can know what is wrong when, and I will suggest the appropriate settings for you to be shooting on (mostly), for the types of photography you do.

We’ll chat over email first so I know where your level of understanding your camera is.

We’ll chat for an hour on an over Skype/ Zoom or Facetime on how you can better understand and work your camera.

This is your chance to pick my brain for an hour about how your camera works. Ask me questions on how certain photographs are achieved and what you can do to get it.
