Private photography tutoring · OFF AUTO
Private photography
tutoring.
The complete OFF AUTO course, taught just to you — or to you and a close group of friends. Six sessions to understand your camera and start making photographs with intention.
The full course
More room
for your questions.
I learned photography by experimenting for ten years. This is the course I wish I’d had when I started, with the space to ask questions and work through what isn’t clicking.
Come on your own, or learn with a small, close group of friends. We agree on the schedule together and work through the full six-session OFF AUTO course.
You also have direct access to my WhatsApp for photography questions and advice. Bring the image, the camera setting, or the thing you’re trying to understand.
What we cover
Six sessions.
A foundation you can use.
For beginners with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Learn by shooting, asking, and looking at your own work.
Session 2
Aperture
Choose what stays sharp, what falls away, and where the viewer looks.
Session 3
Shutter
Freeze movement, use blur deliberately, and understand why an image is soft.
Session 4
Light is the subject
Learn to see direction, contrast, and the difference between hard and soft light.
Session 5
Framing with intention
Work with backgrounds, negative space, and the choices inside your frame.
Session 6
Critique
Review your photographs together and understand what to keep working on.
One complete course
