Photography Coaching Built Around You
LEARN • CREATE • GROW
No two photographers have the same experience, interests or challenges. That's why private coaching is designed around your individual needs. Whether you're trying to understand your camera, overcome a particular photographic challenge or develop new skills, we'll focus on what matters most to you.
With personalised guidance, practical explanations and the freedom to learn at your own pace, you'll gain the understanding and confidence to take your photography further."
Online Private Photography Coaching
PERSONAL GUIDANCE — WHEREVER YOU ARE
Not based in Durban? No problem.
Online private coaching brings personalised photography tuition directly to you through live, one-on-one Zoom sessions. Whether you need help understanding your camera settings, mastering autofocus, improving your exposure or developing your editing skills, each session is tailored to your experience, interests and photographic goals. You'll be able to ask questions, share your screen, review photographs and work through challenges together — all from the comfort of your home.
In-Person Private Photography Coaching
HANDS-ON LEARNING • PERSONAL ATTENTION • PRACTICAL RESULTS
Sometimes, the best way to learn photography is to have someone right beside you, guiding you through the process.

Whether you're learning to use a new camera, struggling with autofocus and exposure, or looking to improve your composition and photographic techniques, we'll work through your challenges together.
You'll have the opportunity to practise, ask questions and receive immediate feedback, helping you develop the skills and confidence to apply what you've learned.
Learn by doing, with practical guidance focused entirely on you.

What Our Students Say
REAL EXPERIENCES • REAL PROGRESS
There's nothing quite like hearing from someone who has experienced personalised photography coaching. Here's what one of our students has to say about their learning experience.
"I met Rory after my family gave me a bird photography session with My Photo School as a gift. We spent the morning at the SAPPI ponds, a great spot for bird photography and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Rory’s knowledge and passion for photography has guided me from being a complete novice to where I really understand what I am doing with confidence as I make photography my retirement hobby."
