One-to-one Photography Tuition Liverpool Manchester Stockport

My one-to-one photography courses are bought by people for themselves or as a gift for someone else. Two-to-one is also possible.

During the four or six hour course I will take you through many of the key principles of photography as well as exploring the important features of your camera.

The course includes my intensive lesson in the principles of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. I have developed a unique approach to the use of Manual mode, which you won’t find anywhere else. Photographers at all levels find it useful.

No matter what type of camera you’re using – a tiny compact camera, a bridge camera, a film camera, a DSLR, mirrorless or a top of the range full frame sensor camera, I can help you to get more out of it.

The four hour or six hour course takes place at your home or office. We can do the course in Manchester or Liverpool city centre, or any other convenient location.

This course is useful for people who have recently bought a camera and don’t know how to use it. If you already have some knowledge, it can help to fill in the gaps.

It can be a treat for yourself, or a birthday gift or Christmas present for someone else.

Reviews from people who have taken a one-to-one photography session

“My 121 session was a birthday gift, and a great one at that! Within a couple of hours I had an insightful look and introduction in photography. We went through some of photos and I received helpful advice as well as pleasing compliments! He told me about his career as a photographer and showed me his works, which was a pleasure. We also looked at the technical side of how to use my camera.”
Niamh Walsh, Manchester

“It was fabulous and I really enjoyed it. I didn’t think it was possible to learn so much so quickly and not only that, to feel confident with it too! You certainly have a way of demystifying techie stuff and that is so, so helpful.”
Cathie Pearce, Sale

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for the sessions and feedback that you gave to Jared, he thoroughly enjoyed his time with you and it has given him the motivation to explore more possibilities with his photography…… The best 21st birthday present I could have given him.”
Janet Hilton-Hull, Leigh

Richard Morgan, Manchester

“Hi Aidan, just to say thank you for today’s session. I had a great time and I learnt a lot. You’ve been an inspiration!”
Carl Mason, Liverpool

“I can highly recommend Aidan O’Rourke as a personal tutor in photography. Having developed a passion for the camera, Aidan has helped me to understand composition, detail and light. He also greatly eased my transition from compact to DSLR allowing me to fully understand how the technical aspects work together to produce the final image. Aidan’s personal one to one tutorials are delivered with patience and understanding leading to a natural progression of confidence and competence which has had a marked impact on my work. I expect to benefit from his experience for many years to come.”
Linda Rimmer, photography student, Northwich

Simply talking about photography with an interested and knowledgeable tutor can be very beneficial. During the course you will gain information, confidence and inspiration that you won’t get from friends and family, from books or group courses. The benefits will remain for a very long time.

I love giving photography tuition because I love meeting new people, sharing my knowledge and helping them to improve
