Your teacher
I am a passionate professional photographer, based in Sydney. I love capturing images that are full of emotion and personality - images that tell a story.
I started photography in 2014, during a trip with my sister - she initiated me to photography, and I completely got into it! Since then, I have focused on portraits, wedding, lifestyle and landscape. I use the finest camera equipment, including Canon 5D Mark III and Canon L lenses.

Guen is a wonderful instructor. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the lesson as Guen explained the foundations of photography very well and patiently.
I am looking forward to our second lesson soon.
Mel Jenkins • Jan 2021
Definitely worth doing if you’re new to photography and want to see what a camera can do. The class is relaxed, basic but gives you heaps of info that you can take away and practice with. Guen is lovely and makes it all so simple and easy. The location is just a bonus.
Hannah Quayle • Jan 2021
This is an excellent introduction to photography and guen is a very knowledgeable photographer and friendly, easy-going individual. She was able to talk through key concepts in detail but in an easy-to-understand way, and show me with my camera how it worked. We practiced down on Bondi Beach which was a great location to put into practice the learnings and try out the different modes on my camera. She was able to tailor the class to my experience level which was good. I will definitely look into her editing workshop once I’ve practiced more! Thanks Guen!
Priscillia Kowalski • Dec 2020

Thanks again Guen!

Guen offered a very informative introduction to Photography. The notes were well laid out and i was able to follow them easily as well as being able to review them and refresh my memory.
The venue was clean and hospitable.
She complemented the discussions with hands on practice and i was able to see the changes that could be made by fine tuning my approach.
Guen was also was very happy to be contacted after the lessons if i had any questions or needed some advice.
All in all a very worthwhile session.
Umi Mostafa • Jul 2020
Guen is a good teacher for a beginner like me. I’ve no idea how to use DSLR camera and she taught me the basic things and how to use my own camera (Nikon D3500) and also the best way to take a good photo. It was raining at the time I had my class but she showed so much that I need to know just being indoor. I can’t wait until I master my photography and join her editing class

What a great course. My daughter and I participated in an attempt to help her understand the manual functions of her camera and take the particular photos she likes. The location was perfect, it was great to be at the beach. Thanks Guen for your patience and expertise.
Amandeep Delaforce • Jul 2020
Guen was friendly, very easy to get along with she made the experience of learning something new enjoyable and I felt commutable to ask her any questions I had. She explained the information in a way that was easy to understand. Having a handout made it easier to understand and follow along without having to stop to write everything down, and its great to keep in your camera bag for a quick reference.
This class is great value for money, I learned about the different settings on my camera and now have a clearer idea of when to use each setting. I was provided with constructive feedback throughout our practical session which gave me an understanding of ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed. Going down to Bondi Beach provided us with multiple subjects to shoot so I was able to practice a variety of shots.
Anthea Nason • Mar 2020
Awesome day even though it was cold & raining.
We learnt so much.
The Teacher explained everything so well & made it easy to understand.
Marine Caparros • Mar 2020
It was a very good workshop. I learned a lot of things from Guen, and I now feel very confident in using my camera. I'll definitely recommend this class to anyone.
Matthieu Durand • Mar 2020
