Overview:

The Central Coast is home for me and it is a place that is jam packed with unbelievable locations, icons and features that are both natural and man made. I now offer special pricing for my courses for those who are happy to take the short trip up the F3 to Gosford.

I offer a private mid week one on one course for almost the price of a group course in Sydney and you get to pick the day. Or if your after a weekend then my private courses are $250 less than those run in Sydney.

My private courses cover the same content as the group courses but due to the one on one instruction they can start at the skill level of the participant and focus can be place either on core skills or advanced techniques and shooting concepts or both.

The course starts at one of the many beautiful beaches located on the Central Coast. Forresters Beach, Spoon Bay, Avoca Beach etc from there we will move around finishing at the best location to take in the sunset.


Hit the ground running:

On booking my course you will be sent the courses 20 page handbook and video tutorials that outlines the key concepts and workflow that will be practiced and expanded upon on the day.

You will have an account created on our Rubbing Pixel website, that will give you an idea on how some of the image we take on the day with the techniques taught are processed.

The idea of the booklet and access to the Rubbing Pixels website is to give you a heads up on what will be covered so the learning curve is not so steep and then after the course both items will be your point of reference to refresh your memory and to take you further with your learning.

  • Roger - Sydney
    Having been a keen photographer for some time, I held professional landscape photographers in awe bewildered by their outcomes. Getting close to those standards seemed unobtainable. I was given a one day course with Matt as a present. I had no idea what to expect, but was confident that at the end of the day I would be a better photographer, but suspected that the difference would be minimal - after all how much could I learn in just one day.
     
    Matt immediately assessed my photographic skills, and structured the day to my abilities. Fundamentals that I understood, but not fully appreciated, were explained and demonstrated. Within the first few minutes I became a better photographer, and the improvement continued. By the end of the day I was shooting landscapes at a standard that I thought I was beyond my capabilities. Very importantly I can now take a great photo in all sorts of conditions, no longer concerned that changing weather conditions will compromise my photographs.

    How much did I learn in one day? Well, far more than I ever anticipated. Take the plunge and do a course with Matt, you will not be disappointed, and enjoy the accolades from family and friends about your photographs.

    Hi Matt
    What a fabulous day, thank you so much for the overall basics and especially the inside tips at the beginning of the day / and it just got better as the day got longer… more details and more techniques. I have just had a look at the images I made today and already they are better than anything I have taken in the past...Thanks again for a great day of training. I wanted to learn how to operate my camera fully and take great photos and that's what I got from your course.

    Cheers, Rosie

    Thanks again for a great day.  I really feel much, much more confident with landscape photography and even enough to say that i feel that I have a good grasp of the techniques involved.  Your teaching style is very good and covers many aspects of landscape photography.  I learnt so much yet realise that there is a lot more to learn.  Your guidance and communication skills particularly lend to a positive learning experience.  In other feedback,  I thought the time spent at Ken Duncan's gallery was a good idea and has potential to spend time discussing the techniques used in the art / industry, pros and cons of various photos etc...
    Thanks heaps for your expertise and advice.
    regards
    Anthony
