Teaching Photography

I have just begun teaching photography. It's a great job. It combines my love of teaching and my love of photography. What could be better??

I have done some one-on-one teaching in both composition and post-processing, but recently I did some teaching on location. I went with two ladies that I know from photography, who are both talented but want to improve even more. I took them to a waterfall (as they had requested help with taking water shots) and we worked for a couple of hours taking images, critiquing them on the spot and then giving them tasks to improve their technique even further. I really enjoyed it and I think they did too. I didn't take any serious images, just snapped a few images of them in action, but it didn't worry me. It was great to see what they were producing and seeing them grow from the experience.

In the zone

One of the ladies said she was inspired to do water images because of the images she had seen of mine from a series I did on waterfalls in the mid Blue Mountains . It was so flattering.

 These two ladies, Kay and Sue are already producing great images. Soon they will be sensational. They both have a great deal of passion and flare for photography. I look forward to their work growing better and better.

Setting up the shot




I enjoyed it so much I think I'll try to do more next year when I take a years long-service leave from St Marys. I'll have to work hard to get my name out there and attract customers, but I'm excited. I hope it goes well. I'm going to do a small business course as well so that I have the knowledge to run and grow the business. Hopefully I'll be really busy.
