Photography Lessons and Courses

You've Just Bought a Digital SLR ... Now What?

You've probably discovered that it's not like your old film camera or your handy point-and-shoot compact digital camera. In fact, many DSLR owners are new to photography and don't understand all the technical gobbledegook. The good news is a solution exists that doesn't cost thousands of dollars or take weeks of training!

Private or Small Group Lessons

Whether you prefer one-on-one or want to learn with friends, I'm dedicated to helping improve your photography! Flexible scheduling allows me to meet your specific needs, whether you're a beginner, or more experienced and want to dust off your technique.

A small investment now will save huge amounts of time normally spent learning important concepts. My goal is to help you make sense of the fundamentals, and then introduce the art behind the images. From there, field workshops are a fun way to advance to the next level.

Instead of being frustrated that your photos aren't turning out, let your photography become exciting and fulfilling: skill, not luck, creates great images!

Happy Students

Positive feedback has helped me become a better teacher and craft an effective lesson plan.

Here are some impressions from happy students:

Martin Hill, Hong Kong

Although I am a seasoned amateur photographer, with a firm understanding of my camera controls and how to use them, I found Randall's private lessons to be extremely informative. (See more)

I was able to learn some great digital photography technical information I had previously been unaware of and in both the practical and field lessons, was able to concentrate on specific areas of composition which were previously unclear to me.

I would highly recommend anyone thinking of doing more with their camera to spend some time with this terrific photographer to truly unlock your creative potential.

Angela Panlilo, Hong Kong

You can't imagine how empowered I felt after the lesson. I was really feeling so boxed in, almost to a point of giving up learning because of the so-so photos that I have been turning up! Your lesson has swept the blinders away. (See more)

More importantly, it has given me impetus to go out and shoot again. It's wonderful having a goal in mind again. I think that is the biggest advantage ... you have given me inspiration! A new lease on my attempt at being a photographer!

I liked the way the whole thing was casually set-up. Interaction was open and being in a small group was definitely a plus. Your notes were simply written and direct to the point. A great launching point for "what lesson to attempt for the day" strategy!

Your enthusiasm for your work, passion for photography in infectious. Am now encouraged to try to be a better photographer - hopefully!! I wouldn't change anything about how the lesson was structured!

Thank you for your time and the articles. Appreciate everything. Hope this won't be the last time we see you - for sure we will be calling on you again for more lessons!
