Face to Face 1:1
This is personal, hands-on photography learning — just you and Derry, walking and talking your way through 4 hours across the beautiful Mornington Peninsula Hinterland or beaches (weather permitting).
Whether you're an absolute beginner who's never left Auto, someone with a few skills already under your belt, or an intermediate learner ready for a proper deep dive into your camera's settings, this session meets you exactly where you are.
Bring your own camera — whatever you've got, however confused you feel by it.
This is built entirely around you: your questions, your gear, your pace. No group to keep up with, no generic checklist — just real answers to what's actually been holding you back.
Personal Mentorship
If you are an absolute beginner this mentorship program is for you
If you have the basics and are ready to take a deep dive into your camera settings, photography, shooting RAW
