Is this you?

  • You’ve got a decent camera but no clue what all the buttons do.
  • You are confused when others talk about concepts like ISO and exposure, but too afraid to ask for help.
  • You keep getting blurry or boring photos and you’re stuck on Auto mode — because manual makes zero sense.
  • You want to learn, but don't want to sit through a technical presentation on camera settings or read through text that doesn't explain it well.
  • You are a beginner, and just wants someone to explain it in plain English or Afrikaans.

What you will learn

  • What your camera does when it takes a photo
  • The purpose of key camera settings: Aperture, Shutter Speed & ISO
  • What “the Exposure Triangle” actually means — made simple
  • How to control light and sharpness for better photos
  • What modes to use (and which ones to avoid)
  • How to stop relying on Auto and start shooting intentionally

You’ll walk away with skills you can use right away — not just theory.

How the course works

  • This is a private, in-person course designed just for you — no group sessions, no distractions.  It consists of 2 sessions.  

Session 1

  • A 3-hour one-on-one session at a suitably convenient venue for you and me (online is also an option if you are not based in Gauteng).  
  • We go hands-on with your own camera and you’ll get a beautifully printed A3 booklet to follow along and make notes in.
  • Practical discussion with opportunity to practice what you have learned.
  • Homework to help you practice what you have learned at your own pace.

Session 2

  • A 1-hour follow-on review (in person or online)
  • We go through your photos together, answer your questions, and build your confidence.

Support

You’ll also have WhatsApp and email support to ask any questions while practising at home — so you’re never stuck!

  • I meet you where you are in your learning journey — no tech overwhelm
  • You learn by doing, with your own camera in your hands
  • We keep it relaxed, supportive, and fun
  • I’ve been where you are — and I make it make sense

Got a question?

Most frequent questions and answers

Nope! A DSLR or mirrorless camera is perfect. As long as it has Manual, Aperture or Shutter Priority modes, we’re good to go.

That’s exactly who this is for! We start from scratch — no pressure, no jargon.

This course is designed as a 1-on-1 experience, but I do offer buddy sessions by request. Just pop me a message!

We’ll agree on a location that’s easy for both of us – your home, a coffee shop, or a nearby outdoor spot with good light.

Yes.  You can do an EFT or pay cash.  Just let me know what you prefer, and I can create an invoice for you accordingly. 

Yes.  If you are not 100% happy with the course, I do offer you a money-back guarantee.  No questions asked.
