(1 review)

Personal Description:

I worked as a professional photographer in the social, commercial and editorial sectors of the photographic industry for over thirty years. I now concentrate on producing stock photography for a major picture library and writing articles about photography.

I also have a degree in English and Creative Writing form the Open University and now teach short story creative writing and write fiction.

Teaching Experience:

I qualified as an adult education tutor around fifteen years ago and, in the past, have run courses for beginner and intermediate photographers and IT learners for Norfolk County Council and Reepham learning Community. I also worked as a trainer in the market research industry.

I currently run courses in digital photography and creative writing for Adult Learning

Teaching Approach:

When teaching my first task is to find out what you know, what you want to know and where you want to progress to. Your lessons are then geared to these aims - whether it is a single lesson to introduce you to a writing technique or camera or a series of lessons to work up to a higher standard.

Photography lessons can take place at home using your own camera and/or editing software or I can offer practical lessons where you will be out taking photographs. Lessons are backed up by handouts and e mail support.

In both creative writing and photography tutorials the focus is on constructive feedback to help you improve and enjoy the learning process and new skills.
