With one-to-one coaching, you’ll get clear answers to your questions, practical tips you can use straight away, and honest feedback to help you improve faster.

Want to Earn Money With Photography?

I’m a self-taught professional photographer with over 10 years of experience in the industry. When I first started out, I photographed weddings before moving into commercial and portrait work, so I know what it’s like to build a photography career from the ground up.

If you’re hoping to go pro, I’d love to share everything I’ve learned along the way - from finding your first clients to turning your passion into a steady income. Let’s work together to help you start earning money doing what you love!

Testimonial From a Previous Student

“Thanks for a really useful day…I appreciated the fact that you took into consideration the correct pace for my learning experience. You were extremely generous with your knowledge of the industry. I have certainly come away from the workshop with a lot more confidence and am really looking forward now to putting all that I learned into practice at the next special event I am asked to photograph. I may well come back to you to reinforce the learning and develop my skills as I progress with my career in events photography.”
