Some recent reviews for our Photography classes
Liz McDougall
Alfonso was professional, patient and engaging. He was able to teach artistic and technical components in a way which will mean we can improve our photography long after this class. Handy tips and suggestions and plenty of encouragement made the group finish on a high. Thanks for a fabulous afternoon Alfonso!
Vilas
A most informative and enjoyable afternoon courtesy of a seasoned professional, who is clearly passionate about her work!
Darren Campbell
Private Photography Course (All Cities)
Dan's professional knowledge and insight is obvious. He quickly identified my skills and lack of them. He tailored the lesson to my level of ability. He helped bring out the best in me and my gear. He is concise and easily understood. Highly recommend these guys. This image is a simple exercise to understand different focal methods. Sharp!

Photography Class for Beginners
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

Awesome day even though it was cold & raining. We learnt so much. The Teacher explained everything so well & made it easy to understand.

DSLR and Mirrorless Photography Basics Workshop
Sarah's workshop was great being very hands on and specific to each camera that was brought to the class. The group was small enough that everyone had hands on help. Some people had large cameras with lots of lenses, to a small mirrorless like mine. The elements we went through meant it didn't matter, was a crash course in getting good photos without too many fussy elements that you won't ever useSarah's workshop was great being very hands on and specific to each camera that was brought to the class.

The elements we went through meant it didn't matter, was a crash course in getting good photos without too many fussy elements that you won't ever use as a beginner. It was great to shoot a range of things and test out techniques on people, markets and architecture while exploring Potts Point/Kings Cross. Really enjoyed the day and look forward to playing with my camera more. + more

I found Sarah to be very knowledgeable and enthusiastic I came away with some great knowledge that I am looking forward to putting into action I can highly recommend Sarah

Fabulous! Although our class was officially cancelled due to the weather, Scott kindly braved the rain and went out of his way to accomodate us as we were only in Sydney for this weekend.

We enjoyed having a few hours of photography iPhone tuition and editing in Snapseed with Alfonso. We will make good use of his tips to enhance our travel photos.

Fantastic introduction to the basics. Our teacher Chris was engaging, interesting and full of great tips and tricks to help maximize the iPhone camera at our fingertips. It was also a brilliant way to explore a gorgeous part of Sydney - would highly recommend for the newbie photo buff in all of us ✌
Victoria Morish
My daughter and I really enjoyed the course. Chris was great and very informative and it was really lovely to walk around The Rocks and see and photo some of the history of the area.
Fun Photography classes / courses in Sydney
Photography is a hobby that can be intimidating for some people. There’s an idea that it requires a lot of equipment or training or some inherent skill that not everyone has. But that’s simply not true. Now, with so many workshops available, more and more people are adding photography classes to their list of fun things to do in Sydney. However, even with the latest technology and high-end equipment, it’s still a good idea to get some training in photography. With ClassBento’s full list of the best photography courses in Sydney, you can stop searching. We’ve brought together the best photography instructors in Sydney to help you begin your photography journey.
Photography encompasses many different styles and techniques, which is why it’s important to be able to explore a range of classes. A popular beginners photography course is the iPhone photography workshop, which has quickly gained attention as one of the top 10 things to do in Sydney. You might also try a DSLR photography workshop or even more advanced one-on-one weekend photography courses.
Photography workshops make for great experience gifts in Sydney, and they’re also some of the most fun things to do in Sydney in groups. Whether you’re organising a birthday party or are looking for unique team bonding activities to improve workplace wellbeing, photography classes are something that everyone can enjoy.
To make every class as informative and engaging as possible, your professional photography instructor will give you helpful theory and then allow you to spread your wings. Your teacher will be there to give you feedback and tips, but these Sydney workshops are totally hands-on. You’ll be seeing the world through a photographer’s perspective in no time.
Health benefits of photography
Photography is great for your mental focus and clarity. The practice invites you to appreciate the world around you in a new way, and you’ll love the chance to disconnect and channel your full attention to the task at hand. An afternoon spent with a camera in hand will keep you grounded and centred - it really feels like a meditative experience!
Custom classes
Want to learn or experience something specific? You can easily contact our teachers and arrange a custom workshop at your preferred time and to suit your skill level.
If you’re looking for a unique and memorable event these workshops are perfect things to do with friends on the weekend, for aged care groups, team building exercises, indoor things to do, and kids weekend activities. We've got a range of teachers who cater specifically to larger events, and we can customise classes to meet your needs. Get in touch today and we'll put something together for you.
