Requirements

  • Have a clear idea of the book topic before you start class
  • As there are several lectures that rely on your using a photo editing software program, I'd advise your downloading a freebie editor off the internet (if you don't already use one). Picasa is one good, cross platform editor, as is Apple Photos and Adobe Photoshop Elements (the last can be downloaded for a month's trial)
  • You will need to download a bookmaking software program. Most of the lessons are based around an excellent, free, cross-platform application called Blurb Booksmart

Like a few others involved in the industry, I’m in the enviable  position of combining my life’s passion, photography, with my job. And, even though I spend too much time in front of a computer,  it remains one of the best occupations in the world…
Born in the UK, I’ve  spent more than half my life in Sydney. I began work in Australia as a cameraman in the audio-visual business, then as a freelance  photographer. In the nineties I worked as a contributing freelance writer for several photo publications, then as a full-time magazine editor for more than eight years. In 2000 I started my own publishing business producing Australia’s best-selling specialist digital photo techniques publication: Better Digital Camera magazine.With this I aggressively pursued the goal of producing clear, well-illustrated information written in simple English and continued to develop this  plain-speaking style in another specialist magazine, Better Photoshop Techniques.

I have also written a number of software-centric books including Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 for Packt Publishing (available through Amazon).

Nowadays I mostly write, teach and run specialist small group photo tours to photo-centric locations in Africa, Japan, Iceland, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Cuba.

When not  travelling I run photo workshops, teach digital photography, video and post-production classes online and in face-to-face classes locally through Sydney University.
