Online Photographers Training

Reach your potential from the comfort of your own home.

Book Now:

Spaces are released every week in a rolling month-by-month format. 

If the calendar below doesn’t allow you to select a date or change months, it is because all future one-to-one spaces are booked out. In peak season for workshops and speaking internationally, spaces are fewer and as such there can be long waits for the next rolling opening to show. If you check back here on Friday evenings, the next available Friday’s space may have opened up. 

About the one-to-one range:

Option 1:

Editing One-to-Ones

Whether you are brand new to Adobe Lightroom Classic or you’re looking to up-skill your workflow in Adobe Photoshop, if you have a laptop and are ready to improve, we’ll probably work well together! 

To complete these sessions, you’ll need a laptop, Adobe programs (Lightroom Classic and/or Photoshop), a reliable internet connection and a RAW file that is technically sound (sharp in the right places!).

We’ll connect initially on Zoom and then you’ll allow Jess to have remote access to your computer via Teamviewer (also free). This allows us to very quickly and very easily control your screen to show you a particular tool or technique instead of continually saying “up a bit, a bit more, to the left” on repeat!

By the end of an editing session, you will have, completely solo, completed specific editing techniques to add dimension, flair and finesse to your own work. You can opt instead for Jess to work on your file whilst you take notes, it’s up to you!

WHY ME?

“I’ve used Photoshop for 12 years, Lightroom for over 7 years and edit most days of the week in some way, shape or form! I have great success using this format for editing tuition online!”

Photography one to one

Option 2:

Business One-to-Ones

An enormous field to cover but in brief, individuals usually choose this option if they are starting a photography business and want to get off the ground well, or if they have an existing photography business that isn’t performing particularly well.

Usually, we cover business structure, pricing, IPS, marketing, SEO, social media, portfolio reviews/strategies for growth and product choices, but really this can be anything you need it to be.

WHY ME?

“As well as having operated a successful photography business for over 6 years, I also handily have a CIM Dip in Strategic Marketing and regularly work on both small and international scale marketing and strategic business projects for both photography and non-photography businesses.

The largest budget I’ve ever personally managed for a single campaign is £250,000. Return on investment and profitability for you is a priority for me.”

Option 3:

Portfolio Review (Deep Critique) One-to-Ones

Whether your goals are to take amazing photographs of your children or to win an international photography title, this one-to-one option has the capacity to give you specific, actionable pointers of what you can improve to get to the next step.

Usually, we look at your portfolio or the results of a single shoot – a collection of images (10 minimum, no maximum!) – and critically assess them against each other and your goals. The images could be RAW files, finished pieces or something different entirely.

This isn’t always an easy listen, but if you come in with an open mind and grit to improve, you’ll take more away from this one to one option than probably any other. Remember, Jess will be honest and frank – prep yourself with a notepad and pen beforehand.

WHY ME?

“Although not a seasoned print comper, I’ve had a pretty solid season in 2020 taking the top awards with multiple organisations in both monthly and annual awards with pets and other subjects too. I have an eye for fine detail and my microstock background has left me with an uncanny ability to spot technical faults. I try to be kind and fair with my portfolio crit and it is always about how to improve, not what you’ve done wrong.”

Amazing!!

I booked a 1 to 1 with Jess with the hope of taking my photography to the next level. I was producing nice images but wanted to produce wow images. Firstly, Jess and Dan are the most relaxed and welcoming pair. They immediately made me feel welcome and at ease. About 15 minutes into our session Jess had already made me realise where my shortcomings were and transformed the way I thought about setting up and taking my shot. This experience for me was highly rewarding and truly invaluable. I have come away more motivated and excited than ever about improving my work. The images that I took with her on the day are to date, the best images I have ever produced. Jess is a wealth of knowledge and skill. She has an amazing way of teaching and communicating. Her and Dan put so much time and effort into our day and I cannot fault a single thing. I am definitely planning another day with Jess in the future. If you are on the fence about booking….do it! You absolutely won’t be disappointed.

A Fantastic Learning Experience

I highly recommend a One on One with Jess. I did one last Friday and it was a fantastic learning experience. I asked Jess to edit from scratch an image that I had submitted for review in July. Having decided on my vision for the image Jess explained the steps in detail and I was able to watch as she did her photoshop magic.I also purchased the recording of the session and I have played it a few times since while practicing the workflow. If you are struggling with your editing this is a must. I will certainly be booking another session in the future.

I started to take private classes with Jess 9 months ago. I typically take one a month and I am soo happy with them. I wish I could take them every week, but I need to keep my budget together. (even tough the private classes are really affordable)

My progress as pet & people photographer has been enourmous – I feel. Its the most efficient way to grow as photographer. You can chose what you want to work on, it can be very general or very much into detail.

5 stars for Jess as teacher!

Invaluable portfolio review

I had an 121 (portfolio review) with Jess after I have been an MTog for about 6 months and after I completed the Outdoor Advanced Canine Course. I prepared around 12 of my best photos for Jess to look at and I hoped for an honest feedback. I really liked that Jess was very open and frank, she didn’t beat around the bush but gave direct ideas on how to improve the photos. The hour went by in a heartbeat but was packed with practical and applicable information and ideas. I intend to do a 121 again in the future!
