Sean is not only a knowledgeable and experienced photographer, but he also has a wide range of travel experience, which brings a unique perspective to his teaching. He has a diverse portfolio in many fields of photography, including landscape, portrait, street, and light photography, just to name a few.
Sean made learning about photography both enjoyable and easy. His hands-on approach and personalized attention allowed me to grow and develop my skills in a way that I never thought possible.
He was always available to answer any questions I had and provided helpful feedback on my work. I highly recommend Photography lessons with Sean to anyone looking to take their photography skills to the next level. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, Sean’s extensive knowledge and experience will provide you with the tools you need to capture stunning images.
His passion for photography is truly infectious, and I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him.
Thank you, Sean, for an incredible experience!”

“It has been a great learning experience following the Basic Photography course with Sean. We had our class in two days, combining theory and practice, day and night photography. Sean guided me to understand some of the fundamentals of photography and my camera, building a better foundation for my ongoing learning journey. He is a very knowledgeable teacher and provides specific advice on areas needing improvement.
Thank you for this very nice photography class”
“It’s rare to enjoy every moment of a lesson but I did so in my smartphone photography lesson today. Face to face meant hands on practise with instant feedback, and effective communication with eye contact. Sean’s easy-going personality and expertise in photography completes the picture for an enjoyable yet educational lesson. I highly recommend Sean if you are looking for a private photography lesson!”
“I told Sean that it is easy to take good photos with my iPhone already and that I want the class to focus on creativity and unlocking higher potential with the camera modes. His session focussed on exactly what I expected and even more by also navigating me to select the right apps amidst the noise in app store, teaching me very simple tricks but overlooked tricks and angles to make pro level photos. Now I think about 2-3 angles before taking a photo and I’m very happy with myself. Sean’s experience really helps! Highly recommended”
“I was looking for a one on one basic photography class and Sean was the answer! He was very patient with all my questions and throughout the sessions, I began to have a clearer and better understanding of the technical aspect of my camera… which is what I really wanted out of the course. I struggled for a long time to understand the technical bit of photography but Sean was great at explaining things to me that I understand my camera so much more now! Thanks Sean for the great sessions, will be back for more! ”
“Sean 老师是一个对学生很耐心又很有责任感的一位老师，在我们上的几堂课中，他都对我细心的教导，有问题也会一一解释给我明白.”
“When Sean showed us some of his photos, I was wowed. And Sean is very generous, sharing all his tips that can easily be applied in everyday life. It’s time to practice!”
“I really enjoy the Zoom Smartphone class as it is an interactive class to me with sharing on the photography tips...things to take note or to avoid. Even though the class is only 2 hours, ... it was fun to learn and share. Thanks!”
“Sean’s class far exceeded any expectations we had. He is extremely skilled and knowledgeable in the field as well as very creative. His teaching style is patient and informative, making sure that you will learn as much as possible. We believe that we learnt much more from Sean than we ever would have from any online / youtube class, making this very good value for money as well. We are already planning on coming back to do more of his courses! Thanks Sean!”
“Thank you for the 3 helpful sessions, you are very professional and easy to understanding, I’m very appreciate for your flexibility on the 2nd sessions, it was fun and good experience. looking forward to learn more from you. ”
“Working with Sean on a one-to-one basis has been outstanding for me and I have finally been able to take my camera into Manual mode... Sean is extremely patient and clearly enjoys spending time teaching others. Understanding the many of the basics of Adobe Lightroom is far easier with Sean on a one-to-one than it was on video tutorial. Thank You Sean”
“I have been using my dslr camera for a few years. I thought by reading the manual and photography books is sufficient to pick up photography. However, I was frequently caught into situations on not getting my desired results. Sean has been able to use good examples and practical sessions explaining how to use the technical techniques as well as the artistic aspects to produce interesting photos. He is generous in sharing. I feel the class made a significant impact to my skills and he has delivered exactly what I needed to excel.”
