tuition

I have been hosting DSLR courses for beginners and workshops for more advanced photography enthusiasts since 2011, handling groups of up to 12 people. My hands-on approach and jargon-free tuition of photography's basic concepts make learning fun and earned me an enthusiastic feedback, with some of my clients furthering their education to pro level.

I’m available for individual and group lessons mainly in the Greater London area. Whether you need a general understanding of how your DSLR works or you want to get into something more specific like studio and portraits, music photography or editing/post-production, please get in touch.

tours

I’ve been conducting photography tours since 2010 and I'm available to guide in London, UK and abroad. I can take up to 10 people to the best photography spots and advise on composition and technique. Tours are available in English and Italian, for both day and night time and suit beginners and more advanced photographers. In London I can offer city landscapes, street photography and local wildlife. A DSLR will allow you to get the most out of your pictures especially at night (a tripod is also needed in this case). However, the tours can be a great experience with all cameras, including phones… It’s all about the photographer after all!

live music

I have shot music events of all genres and levels since 2000, from the likes of The Libertines, Blur, The Who, The Strokes, Metallica, Westlife and Kiss to emerging talent and local pub bands, plus festivals including Reading, Download, Sonisphere, Hyde Park and Camden Rocks amongst others. I shoot regularly for Sonic Shocks magazine and website and occasionally freelance for other publications. I’m available for assignments preferably in London.

portraits

I’m available for portraits and shoots at your favourite location or at your house, preferably within the Greater London area. I have a preference for candid photography and reportage style, especially when it comes to shooting kids. I don’t have my own studio facilities but these can be rented on request and added to the cost of the shoot. Bands/musicians shoots also available.
