Photography Tutoring


ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY TO THE NEXT STAGE?


CONTROL YOUR CAMERA BETTER, FIND YOUR CREATIVE PASSION AND IMPROVE ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR CRAFT?


Every photography lesson is tailored to you, your experience and what you want to achieve.

Whether you're picking up your first camera, learning manual mode, or developing the skills to photograph professionally, my one-to-one photography tuition is designed to help you build confidence behind the camera.


Photography is about far more than camera settings. Together we'll cover the technical foundations, but we'll also explore light, composition, storytelling, timing and the creative decisions that transform a good photograph into a great one. Lessons are practical, hands-on and built around real photography as well as learning strong technical theory.


Having worked professionally across a wide range of photography, from portraits and weddings to commercial campaigns and documentary projects around the world, I bring real industry experience into every session. My aim is simple: to give you the knowledge, confidence and understanding to create photographs you're genuinely proud of.

-REVIEW *****

After an incredible experience with Leah professionally, I contacted her to enquire about her tutoring -it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Without sounding cliche, it has changed my life.

I am now one of her photography students and have received 1:1 tutoring with a goal to doing something I love, and most importantly thanks to her -doing it well!

I was hesitant to make the call to a professional, as an absolute beginner with a dream.However, from our first conversation -Leah’s passion for and knowledge of every aspect of her field has encouraged me to believe in myself, my capabilities and has ignited a passion for years I had ignored.

She is so patient (probably the most important skill of any teacher) professional, communicates so clearly and makes each topic tailor made -explaining everything in a way that I can understand.

I must also mention that the classes are thoroughly enjoyable due to her warm nature, I feel at instant ease and able to ask any (many) questions.

The classes are broken down with a mix of theory and practical, structured perfectly for a beginner. The guidance she has given me and knowledge she has shared is first class.

I am looking forward to the progression of my photography journey as I know she also offers tutoring based on different levels of knowledge and skill set, always bringing out the best of creativity.

We make the most of every minute in the session and I step away knowing I’m learning from the very best. When I’m out with my camera I have her wisdom at the forefront of my mind and the knowledge I have gained from her tutoring is priceless.

Without Leah I doubt I’d have even taken the plunge to even attempt to pursue my dream of becoming a photographer.

Thanks to her I have confidence in my abilities, my work and can’t wait to learn more from her.

If you’re searching for guidance, in any aspect of photography -Leah is the best of the best.

FAQ

I am a very beginner. Will you tutor me?

You are in the right place. Wether you are professional just looking to gain more knowledge or you have your first camera, It would be a pleasure to bring you on board to tutor you.

I can only do classes online, is this possible?

Absolutely. I teach around the world including to Mexico City and Costa Rica to other parts of the UK. The classes are cheaper online than in person. You just need zoom.

Do you work with kids?

Without a doubt! Kids that show interest and a skill in photography definitely could benefit in 1:1 guidance. I have experience both teaching and photographing under 18's. Parental forms and a consultation would be needed but I am 100% able to work with kids.
I am DBS checked.
