It was raining but he came on time and it turned out that I was the only participant in the tour. Greg asked me what I wanted to learn and he patiently teach me. He showed me the joy of taking pictures and the excitement of experiencing the environment. I learned a lot of practical techniques from him.....something that I... More

I had a great time with Greg on our photo tour of Melbourne. He has taught me some great techniques for making the most of my images and shown me a side to Melbourne that I would not have found on my own. He was also very understanding that I had hurt my foot on and was therefore a bit... More

I did a morning tour with Greg in February 2012. Having been on quite a few courses and photo holidays I wanted to discover some of the photo gems in Melbourne I may not have otherwise found plus improve my skills. Greg quickly worked out where my room for improvement was and we had a really interesting and thought-provoking few... More

This was a birthday present for my girlfriend who just bought a new DSLR and has been interested in photography for quite some time. Greg, the guide/teacher was really friendly and patient. Because it was a quiet day, we were the only two people on the tour and he really catered it to our tastes and pace. We got to... More

A birthday present for my 17 year old nephew, we took Greg's day and night tour. We had so much fun spending the time together learning new things about photography. It is amazing to look back through the photos and you can clearly see how much better they got as the tour went on. Greg is very knowledgable and is... More

Greg showed me a different Melbourne to the one I've visited several times before. I chose his 'Off the beaten track' option, what an eye opener. We spent around a half day where he passed on his knowledge on lighting, perspective, location awareness in such a variety of places.. graffiti alleys, churches, historic buildings.. and I came back with photos...

Greg, the teacher, chose fantastic places to discuss the ways to produce photographs of high quality. He coped really well with the different levels of camera familiarity of each of our three participants. He was patient when one of us requested stopping to take a photo of a point of interest. He was genuinely interested in each of us improving... More

We had only one day to visit Melbourne and were so glad we booked a photo tour with Greg. The tour gave us an excellent overview of the downtown area, while highlighting spots we would never have found ourselves. More importantly, through a relaxed pace, guided questioning, modeling and individual coaching, we learned many photography tips and developed a more... More

I booked in for a daytime tour with Greg at the very last minute before I jetted off to Melbourne and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Greg took the time to get to know me and where I'm at with my photography, what I like and what I want to... More

It's the first time I've take a photography lesson/ tour and I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in photography and who wants to learn more about their DSLR camera. I've discovered all these extra functions on my camera with Greg despite having used a DSLR for years! It is also a novel way to explore an appreciate... More
