Being a qualified trainer and assessor, I thought I might put my qualification to good use and come up with a cheap and easy way to provide photography tuition to local photography enthusiasts. Many of the workshops already out there are too expensive, too intimidating for some and are never convenient to go to. They are never tailored to your experience or for what subjects you would like to shoot. Today Digital SLR photography is becoming more and more common with families and individuals splashing out on a new high tech camera as fast as people buy big screen televisions. Using one of these cameras is like getting into a race car, it has so much potential to go fast, but you need to know how to drive it. You get your new camera, put in Auto and shoot some pictures. Sure they come out great, but what if you can make them exceptional. I have travel photos hanging up at home that I’m very proud of because I spent the time on reading up on exposure, composition and all the tech things that come together to make a photograph.
What I’m looking for is some feedback from my readership on what type of tuition would suit them. All adults learn in a different way and with all of us living very busy lives need a fast and convenient way. I am not looking to provide any qualifications so you can go out and take over the world, but to show you how to think like a photographer and get the most out of a camera. Would a video on a DVD suit, a PDF that you can print out and read in your own time and at your own pace, face to face and one on one training or in a group?
For those who are interested (Melbourne based people to start with) please send me an email to marcel@mvphotography.com.au with ‘Photography Tuition’ in the subject line and tell me how you would want to learn, what subjects you like to shoot, what specifically you want to know about in photography, computer workflow or image retouching and a rough indication what you think is a fair price to pay relative to the product you are receiving. I’m only gathering information at this point so I can tailor a great universal training platform. Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to respond.
Regards, Marcel.

Hi Carez, Thanks for your interest, I am still taking registrations of interest at this point, so I can design a learning plan to suit most people. I’ll be posting up little tutorials now and then on the blog, and no doubt there will be a big announcement when I have something ready.
