What People Are Saying
Use my camera with confidence
After much searching I found the Love My Camera course. I had never used a camera at that point and had no idea what to expect from it. The course was easy to follow gave step by step simple instructions as well as a Facebook group to join with Sarah on hand to help and answer any questions. Since doing the course I've been able to use my camera with confidence and upgrade it without worrying about not knowing how to use it. With Love My Camera it's simple to learn any camera.
Do it! You won’t regret it
Attended the photography for beginners course yesterday and had to write a review. I am a total beginner and was shooting on auto. Sarah went through the basics and made very thing make sense! I now feel I have the tools to explore shooting in manual and take better photographs. Sarah took the time to chat to each of us in the group to help tweak things to suit our individual cameras. If you are thinking about doing it… Do it! You won’t regret it.
She makes everything simple
I’ve done lots of photography courses in the past and have read lots of books. I learnt more from Sarah in 3 hours than I have from any other course. She makes everything simple and has so much patience!
You made my camera a lot more accessible to me
Really enjoyed the course, thanks. It felt like I gained a lot of useful information and you made my camera a lot more accessible to me.
I was a little apprehensive while driving to the course, but need not have worried, the atmosphere was great.
Highly recommended
I really enjoyed Sarah’s beginners photography class. I felt like I learnt a lot. She helped me understand my new camera and she explained it all really well. I felt like it ‘clicked’ altogether after attending the morning workshop. Highly recommended.

FAQ
-
What type of camera do I need to do this training?
To make the most of this course you should own a digital SLR camera or a mirrorless camera. A DSLR or mirrorless camera will allow you to swap lenses and manually control your settings. Although the course is designed with these types of camera in mind you can still benefit from the course if you have a bridge camera, for example. If you are not sure if you have the right type of camera for this course then please send me an email to [email protected]. I'd be delighted to help you.
-
I have no experience at all, is that OK?
Absolutely. You do not need any pervious photography knowledge or experience to do this training?
-
Where does your in person training take place?
Currently, all 1:1 sessions take place in South Wales. 1:1 sessions take place on Mondays and Thursdays in my new beautiful venue in Cowbridge and weekend appointments will be based in my Bridgend venue. Group sessions take place in locations in South and North Wales.

I don't have a camera yet, can you give me some advice about the best camera to buy?

I can do better than that! After your training you will have lifetime access to my Get Camera Confident online training platform. This recaps everything we will cover on the day along with really helpful videos and downloadable resources.
