Courses and Walks
Join me for a comprehensive phone photography course that will completely change the way you take photos with your phone!
The flagship FabPhonePhotos course consists of two 4 hour weekday morning workshops as well as a 2 hour photo walk. There are also weekend courses that usually runs on a Saturday.
We look at the basic settings and functionality of smartphone cameras, we discuss composition rules in detail, the effect of light, tips on how to photograph people, and so much more! Then I teach you how to edit photos to really make it pop.
All on your phone!
Any brand smartphone can be used and no prior photography experience is required. Courses are aimed at beginner or intermediate level photographers who want to know how to use their phone cameras to its full extent and improve the photos they take, whether it is of their family, holidays, things that interest them, or the food they eat!
Courses are presented in person and in small groups to ensure each student gets the maximum support.
​
I also do photo walks where we either explore places of interest, or we focus on a specific theme.
Other courses available are:

Courses and photo walks mainly run in Abu Dhabi. If you live elsewhere in the UAE,
or in Melbourne, Cape Town or Johannesburg, please contact me for more information about possible dates.
