After 20 years experience working as a photographer, my children came along and photography became play again. I started Take Better Photos in 2007 as a way to share the fun and excitement that taking great photos of your family can bring. We now run photography courses in Brisbane and beyond. Our mission is to capture the truly priceless moments in life, the ones you'll want to show your grandchildren.

This iPhone photography course was great. Dean was a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging teacher. Doing the course at South Bank gave us opportunities to test out what he taught us in a beautiful setting.
We learnt how to effectively use the various options in the iPhone camera - lots of simple tricks. Dean also introduced us to several very useful Apps for taking photos and for editing photos.

Highly recommend this course - you won't be disappointed.

Excellent class, and would highly recommend it! After a few minutes of chat over coffee, Dean had determined my level and experience. He was able to then focus the class on practical tips and tricks to improve my skills in an engaging and enthusiastic manner.

I really enjoyed this course and I learnt so much. The teacher's relaxed and friendly manner made it very easy to ask questions.

Dean was very punctual, arrived when he said he would. We covered quite a bit, showed me what to look for in a photo and how to edit it. The improvements made to my photos were amazing. Amongst other things, we went through how to brighten dark areas and bring features back into my photos that were washed out. I’d been looking for a photo editing course and to find someone that knew Affinity software was a bonus for me. He covered a lot of things but it wasn’t rushed, he paced the lesson based on my knowledge, which was very minimal. He got me to be the driver of both the laptop and iPad to ensure I could do it and also remember it, which in my opinion is the sign of a good teacher. Would highly recommend Dean, he was great and certainly knows his stuff.

teacher fantastic; great pointers and much better understanding not only of using phone for pictures but also how to improve pictures

Emma McDonnell Feb 2020


Teacher was great and very knowledgeable. Some really fantastic advice on features of the iPhone camera and apps available to really get the most out of your photos without having an expensive camera (and time for editing). Some good practical examples to put into practice the lessons as well. Highly recommend.

Great workshop on photography! Thanks Elesia for clear explanation and handy tips!
The most amazing thing is that I can come to the workshop multiple times throughout the year which gives me an opportunity to try things I've learnt, make mistakes and start question more technical things and I always have a chance to come back and ask more questions.
