photography 1-2-1 for Beginners
For clients would like to have the option of more personalised learning rather than working within a group setting, I offer one-to-one photography training days.
This gives me the oportunity to not only plan the whole day to meet your individual requirements but also to concentrate fully on provding that knowledge to you. All I ask before the day is that you complete a questionnaire so that I can tailor the day to best meet your needs to progress in your photography. With over twenty years of photography to date and working with many clients and every camera system imaginable you can be confident that you will leave the day with a better understanding of photography and how to get the best out of your equipment.
As mentioned above, because you are provding me with information on your photography before the day it enables me to customise the session so that we are covering the subjects you need to bring you up to the next level. This covers everything from mastering basic camera controls and moving away from the AUTO setting to allow complete creative control. We can also look at Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO, there relationship and how we use them togethor to create the image. Basics of holding and supporting your camera to prevent those dreaded blurred images. How to compose an image, the use of light, colour, texture and contrast. As well as these generic subjects we can also move on to more advanced and specfic areas relating to landscape and willdife photography.
The 1-2-1s can be delivered in numerous locations throughout the Midlands and I tend to organise a location that is as near to the client as possible. Locations are also chosen depending on the genre of photography that you are most interested in, so locations with good opportunites of stunning landscape images if your passion is landscape photography
Included in the cost of this course is a thirty minute zoom call after the completion of the course should you require it to cover any of those questions that can pop up after the day!
These days are very much aimed at beginners so do not panic if any of the terminology above seems completely alien! I try to structure these sessions so that you do not feel overwhelmed by the day. You should have a good time while you are learning new skills and I am a passionate believer in not moving onto something else until I am sure you have nailed the current subject. I would also note that I will email out a full list of notes on the subjects we have covered after the day and I am also available via email or phone if you have any issues after the day. I know from experience that there is always that one question you forgot to ask on the day, so when it comes to mind please ask away!
The cost for a full days training is £175 and I also offer the same course to couples for a cost of £225 should you wish to spread the cost between you.

“TESTAMONIAL
Having owned a DSLR camera for a few years, but having had very little time to learn how it really works (stuck in Auto!), I took the plunge and booked myself a beginners One to One course with Scott. What a brilliant decision!
After an excellent informative afternoon, and early evening, in the Peak District I now feel so much more confident in moving away from Auto and into the realms of ‘proper’ photography. It’s definitely given me a renewed passion for photography and I can’t wait to get out again and try out my new found knowledge. Thank you Scott, a very worthwhile day.”
