FAQ
How do I sign up for your courses?
My weekly group classes are currently run through the North Sydney Community Centre, and they handle all the bookings. You can find upcoming dates, pricing, and enrolment details on their website.
My single-day workshops are being held at the Wentworth Falls School of Art, and are booked either directly through me or via Class Bento.
If you have questions before signing up, feel free to reach out directly - I’m always happy to chat about which course might suit you best.
Do I need any photography experience to join?
Not at all! These courses are designed with beginners and hobbyists in mind. You don’t need to know any technical terms or have used a fancy camera before. We’ll start with the basics and build your skills gradually, with lots of hands-on practice and simple explanations.
What’s your teaching style like?
My classes are relaxed, friendly, and designed to meet you where you're at. I aim to create a welcoming space where you can learn at your own pace, ask questions freely, and build confidence without pressure. Whether you’re brand new to photography or returning after a break, the focus is on gentle growth and real-world creativity, not perfection.
What gear do I need to bring?
Any DSLR or mirrorless camera is great, it just needs to have the ability to be in manual mode. I also recommend pens and paper, or an iPad/laptop for taking notes, and comfortable shoes and wet weather gear for excursions. If you're not sure what to bring, feel free to reach out and I’ll help you figure out what works best for the course you’re joining.
Ready to start your photography journey?
