About Steve

Photography is my passion and I beleive I've mastered the art. Now my satisfaction comes from seeing the reaction od students who acheive the same results after spending just a little while using my teqhniques. My approach is comprehensive. From preparing the location and subject, composition, lighting, editing, digital asset management all the way through to marketing, you will learn everything you want to learn and nothing you don't.

I started consulting small businesses on setting up and running an in house photo studio and training their employees. I enjoyed that and started offering the service and one-on-one lessons though my website. it became popular and I find it keeps me fresh. Teaching keeps my skills sharp for work and working keeps me relevant for teaching.

I am a full-time professional commercial photographer. I work every day creating images for businesses to sell their products and services. I do lifestyle and still-life product photography in the studio and on-location.

About the lesson

First step is the introduction. I want to know where you are in your photography journey. I want to know what your goals are. I want to know what your interests are, and I want to see a few photos that you have taken that you like, or some photos that you have seen from other photographers that you like. You can tell me what equipment you are working with but i'm not as interested in that. You can use anything from a mobile phone to a film camera to an expensive DSLR or medium format camera. It's basically all the same to me.

I started with consulting corporate and small business clients who wanted to create in-house workflows for product photography. I then created workshops for portrait, landscape and product photography and tought multiple people in one sessiion. It is profitable but I find that one-on-one sessions are the most valuable for students. My students range from hobbyists who want to get out of manual mode on their camera to serious young professionals who want to start a business.

I would interview the teacher to find out if you like their personality. It may sound superficial but if you don't have a rapport with the teacher, it won't be a pleasant experience and you won't learn as much. Also, make sure the teacher is an expert in the particular area of your interest. There are so many niches in photography and while there is much overlap in skill, it won't be beneficial to try and learn studio lighting of products from a photographer that mainly does natural light landscapes.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
The student needs to have clear goals. If you know where you want to be, you can create a roadmap and the teacher can help you get there. Sometimes you don't know what you don't know and that is understandable, but try and think about the end goal and communicate that early in the interview process.
