Personal, practical tuition

My photographs — and, with your permission, yours.

I teach with photographs I have taken myself, explaining the decisions behind each edit. You are also welcome to bring your own photographs. With your permission, we can work through selected images together, so you can see how the techniques apply to pictures you care about.

We look at what each photograph needs, rather than asking everyone to copy the same settings. You will learn how to assess an image, choose adjustments and understand why they help. We will also discuss when to leave something alone and what editing cannot solve.
