BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Answers to your questions.

Equipment, how it works, gifts: find your bearings before you choose.

What equipment do I need for a course?

Bring your camera if you have one; your smartphone can also be a starting point for developing your eye and working on composition. For a drone course, bring your own drone if you have one. If you do not have equipment, contact me before buying: we will see what can be provided, depending on the course and availability.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes! The course adapts to your level, even if you are starting from scratch. We work at your pace, with practical explanations to help you understand what you are doing and why. You can also come with some basic knowledge and focus on the areas you would like to explore further.

How does a course work?

You choose your topics, format and the duration of each course, then pay online. We then agree on a date together and discuss your expectations. The one-to-one course combines explanations, demonstrations and practice, with learning tools and follow-up tailored to your needs. The aim: to understand your settings and leave with practical pointers you can use again.

How do I give a gift voucher?

Choose “As a gift”, select the course or courses, the format and the duration per course. Enter the recipient's first name, their surname if you wish, the person giving the gift and a short message: the preview updates as you type. Once payment is confirmed, you receive the personalised PDF voucher by email, ready to print or pass on yourself. The recipient will arrange their date with Tim.

How long is my course or voucher valid?

The course or gift voucher must be used within one year of the purchase date. The validity date appears on the final gift voucher. Contact me well in advance to arrange a date within this period. You can read the course and gift voucher terms for the detailed terms.

Can I reschedule my course?

Yes, you can reschedule once free of charge, after discussing it and agreeing with Tim. Contact me as soon as you know you cannot attend so we can find a new date together, within the validity period of your course or gift voucher. For any other situation or a cancellation, write to me so we can discuss it.

What types of courses can I choose?

Photography, video or drone: courses are personalised to your level and interests. You can learn to tell a story, master light, refine your framing or fly with precision. Explore the three areas and tick the topics that interest you in your chosen area. We take the time to develop the skills that matter to you. Ready to take it to the next level?

How long should I choose for my courses?

Each course lasts at least two hours. The slider lets you choose from two to eight hours per course; if you tick several topics, the hours and prices add up. When starting out, allowing two extra hours on the same topic can be useful: you have more time to absorb, practise and progress at your own pace.

Where do the courses take place?

You can choose an in-person course or a remote course via video call from your computer, with practice at home. For in-person courses, we agree on the location together depending on the course. An imaging professional for six years, I offer personalised guidance to help you develop practical skills at your own pace.

Which days and times are you available?

We agree on the schedule together according to our availability. I generally offer courses on weekdays, in the afternoon or evening, as well as at weekends. Buying online does not automatically reserve a date: we arrange it together afterwards.

What is the minimum age to take part?

Courses can be suitable from age 12, with guidance adapted to age and level. Contact me to plan a course suited to the person taking part and their interests.

Are the courses one-to-one or in groups?

The courses available to buy here are one-to-one, so you benefit from personalised guidance. I would also like to develop group courses in the future, to build connections, share and help one another. If this format interests you, you can let me know using the form below.
