Photography Lessons – One to One, Anywhere in Tasmania

I felt very fortunate to attend one of Rick's One Day Photography Essentials Workshop recently. Rick explained the basic concepts very clearly, was very patient and provided a very good set of prepared notes for future reference. I have had my DSLR for about a year and learnt a lot.

 The course is excellent value presented in a hands on way by Rick. I learned heaps and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skills and knowledge about how their camera works.

Had a wonderful day. Learned so much and still more to learn. I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn photography.

Rick spent time with all the student if they were having trouble finding different things on their camera and allowed time for questions. He is a great instructor and I would recommend this course to anyone to do. I have been doing photography for a while and I learnt so much. Thanks for a great day.

I had many "aha" moments during the day - learning how to use more of my camera settings and understanding manual mode more were my expectations for the day and they were exceeded. Well worth the investment! Thank you Rick

I bought my Nikon 8yrs ago & hadn’t touched it for 2yrs, so I was a little apprehensive that I would be out of my depth. That could not have been further from my experience. While everyone at the course today had a Canon, Rick, along with my fellow enthusiasts, helped me work through & reacquaint me with many of it’s features & problem solving that I had long ago thought I’d forgot. Rick’s style is well considered, very patient & with good humour. He has a wealth of knowledge to draw upon & offers it up easily with really helpful tips. There is a clear & simplified handbook provided to refer back to after Rick has walked you through it. Whether you have a Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc what I learned today will apply to any camera buff to take them to the next level to get the best out of their photography. I would thoroughly recommend Rick’s course to build your confidence & skill set in a very friendly atmosphere, especially for nervous amateurs! read less

After going through a lot of tutorials and books and "playing" around with my camera it was actually only after your course and teaching that it all started to make sense to me. Also I thank you that you were willing to do the course with just me participating. Not only that but also never even a second I felt like Rick had taken a shortcut with teaching because I was the only one there. If anything it was probably even better because we went through my Nikon camera so throughly. Thank you again so much! Such an inspirational experience 😊 read less

Rick was so generous with his time and knowledge. The small group meant I was able to get lots of one-on-one support to find different features within my camera to help capture the images I want. Rick is so passionate about photography and it comes across in his teaching style. I also enjoyed getting to learn about Rick's journey as a photographer. The day was very engaging, inspiring and a great opportunity to learn from such an experienced photographer! read less

I am so very grateful to Rick for coming all that way for just one! Amazing and so very generous of you to do that. With the knowledge that being alone I could not hide my lack of knowledge about the workings of my Sony Nex 7 or my confusions of the whys and how's of great photography I had to knuckle down and get the brain working!!! Thanks for being so patient with me and your the first teacher that's ever actually shown me how my own camera works and all the ins and outs of the programs and functions.
I now am so much more aware of how to start to learn how to take photos my way and not just on Auto!!
I hope one day to take a photo you may be proud of!!! Thanks again so much Rick and if it wasn't getting so cold I would have loved to have heard more of your many adventures in the wild!!!

Thanks for a very informative day - have so much learned to take forward

Rick is a great teacher and I would recommend to anyone wanting better knowledge of their camera and photography

Thanks Rick. Great workshop. I new a bit but now I know a bit more especially when it comes to the new generation of DSLR with all those features. I am now going to shoot more in manual mode. Thanks again.

Lucky for me there was only myself and one other freezing our butts off for knowledge well worth seeking. I bought my Nikon D5600 only 12 months ago and had only done on-line learning up until now so I was a little apprehensive that I would be out of my depth. That could not have been further from my experience. While normally most people use a Canon, Rick helped me work through all the processes of my Nikon camera I had been struggling with. Rick’s style is well considered, very patient and with good humour. He has a wealth of knowledge to draw upon and offers it up easily with really helpful tips. There is a clear and simplified handbook provided to refer back to after Rick has walked you through it. I would thoroughly recommend Rick’s course to build your confidence and skill set in a very friendly atmosphere.
I know I thanked you on the day Rick but I thank you again because I now have a better understanding of my DSLR camera and am enjoying the photos I am taking with more thought and skill. read less

I did Rick's workshop on Photography Essentials. I have gained so much confidence in myself and my camera. Rick is a very patient and affiable teacher and was very helpful and his experience in photography is amazing. I would recommend this workshop to everyone who wants to understand their camera.

Rick's photography workshop is an excellent way to discover the wonders of photographing in Manual mode and also the intricacies of getting the exposure just right.
