Frequently Asked Questions

The photography classes are conducted live, online. We use Ring Central app and Google Meet. If you live or can come to Abu Dhabi, I would be more than happy to meet you in person, so we can go out and do actual photo shoots for your lessons.

I discourage you for now from buying a new one if you already have one as long as it is not a digital point and shoot camera. If you do not have a camera yet, please watch this video, before getting one. Or contact me so I can give you some tips in getting the ideal gear for you. As for the brand, I do not care which brand you use, because the things you will learn are all applicable to any camera brand.

My photography classes are in an individual or one-on-one arrangement. But I can be contacted directly for private group and corporate trainings. You may reach me by clicking HERE.

You can always go to YouTube and get to learn free. However, in my program, you get to know what you need to know in proper steps that you can easily follow, to help you start taking better photos as soon as you start my program. You don't waste your time browsing through endless youtube videos, and sorting out the lessons in the right order on your own.

First, all classes are on an individual and private basis. Second, each session is primarily done online live. However, if you are residing in or can come to Abu Dhabi, we can meet for your on field photo shoot practice. Third, each session, we focus on one or a few major topics. And then you will be given a photography assignment based on what we discussed. The assignment must then be submitted to me before your next session, because each new topic is based on the previous topic, and therefore you must be able to master it before we proceed to the next lesson. Fourth, if you live in Abu Dhabi, or can come to Abu Dhabi, I can make a special arrangement that we go out, coach you in the field as you take pictures.

The PerfectClick has eight meetings in all; with each meeting running at around an hour long, depending on the topic and the student. The same goes for The PerfectFrame.

No, we don't. Ours is a hobby class and not an "academic" or college course.

Of course you may. My program scheduling is flexible, because I know, most of my students are busy people. My only request is that you notify me at least an hour before your scheduled session, so I will not be waiting in vain.

The programs The PerfectClick and The PerfectFrame are both designed for beginners. The difference lies in the focus or emphasis of the programs. The PerfectClick focuses more on the technical aspect of picture taking such as focusing, colours, exposure and the likes, to capture a technically perfect output straight from the camera. The PerfectFrame focuses on the content of the photograph. How do you make your shot more eye catching, reflect your style and deliver the message or story you wish to convey in your photos. This includes composition techniques and photographic design.

The program fee is on a per course per student. That means, the entire US$190 or AED795 is for all the meetings you will attend. Nice deal, huh?
