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
  • Exposure (ISO, shutter speeds, F-stops)
  • Photographing different subjects from landscapes to portraits through an understanding of depth of field
  • Learn how to freeze and blur movement

Recent reviews of Private Photography Class: Camera Essentials

  • 5/5 from John Sands, attended Oct 2026: I would like thank Garry for our private photography class. On meeting Garry we felt at ease, no rushing through any of the subjects, we were asked exactly what we wanted from him and the course and we got exactly that plus plus plus. There was no fluff or padding to fill the time just good helpfull information including a little cheat sheet booklet, again all useful information. I would recommend Garry to anybody if they were interested but have reservations regarding taking on a course to improve their skill set. We walked away feeling that we got a great deal more than we thought we were going to get. Once again a big thank you to Garry for a pleasurable course. Regards John and John at Hilarys boat harbour.
  • 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.
