It doesn’t matter what brand or model of camera or smartphone you have, I’ll help you to develop your skills to take great photographs.

Testimonials

Martin

Smartphone Photography
Mike is the perfect instructor, especially for me as a beginner. I have picked up so many helpful tips and practical guidelines.
Shirley

Intro to DSLR/Mirrorless Photography
Hamish and I spent a fantastic first day in October as part of our 2 day photography course with Mike. His knowledge and passion for photography is infectious and getting out into Mike's beautiful garden and then into the countryside on his doorstep offered plenty of inspiration! Mike was supportive throughout and on hand to help to frame a photograph or alter camera settings to get the best result.
Omar

Drone Photography Course
Mike was an excellent, patient and helpful instructor. I would recommend him to anyone interested in learning photography skills.
Pippa

Discover Photography Course
Mike was very welcoming, open and friendly and made me feel comfortable with something I've never had proper lessons in before, it was personal, not like a teacher.
Amanda

Discover Photography Course
You really know your subject, you were encouraging and supportive, not intimidating, stepping in with helpful pointers and ideas whilst still giving space for us to explore and have fun taking pictures. The beautiful setting was a bonus.
Neil

Intro to DSLR/Mirrorless Photography
Mike’s Beginner Course gave me exactly what I needed, was expertly and patiently delivered by Mike and my progress was obvious. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone who wants to learn more and improve their photography skills.
Lauren

Smartphone Photography Course
An excellent course run by Mike; the passion he has for photography and Highland Perthshire is inspiring. Mike immediately put me at my ease and was very encouraging - I have learnt so much about composition and use the many techniques Mike taught me in every photography I now take!
