Private lessons are the fastest way to learn photography. Suitable for absolute beginners, we’ll get off automatic mode and cover the most important buttons and functions on your camera. F-stops, ISO, and shutter speeds will be explained in simple English — no confusing technical jargon. The class rotates between teaching and doing. You’ll see clear examples and demonstrations, then put them into practice as we photograph Hillarys Marina. By the end of the session, you’ll be confident using your camera in a range of shooting modes — and ready to take consistently great photos.What you’ll learn:
Get off auto mode and learn how to use your camera
Understand light and exposure
Understand lenses

Recent reviews of Private Photography Class: Camera Essentials
5/5 from Naomi McLaurin, attended Jul 2026: It was exactly what I was looking for! Garry familiarised me with my DSLR Nikon camera functions. I was stuck primarily on Auto and he was able to give me the confidence to manoeuvre and experiment with other specific settings so I can refine catching movement and nighttime shots amongst many other camera techniques. Well worth doing! He tailored the course to what I wanted to learn perfectly! Thank you Garry!
Hi, I’m Garry Wilcox, and I help everyday people learn to use their cameras with confidence—whether for travel, landscapes, or life’s important moments.After more than 20 years in photography, I’ve developed a simple 4-step framework that takes the stress out of shooting and helps you focus on what really matters: capturing great photos.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your camera, my courses are for you.
