Hi, I'm Jane and I'm a professional photographer and tutor. I've liked photography since I was a teenager but now I absolutely love it! And that's because I am really confident about taking the image I see in my mind's eye. I've learned how to use my camera and other gear, l understand what a huge difference light makes and I know how to use composition tools and editing to create photographs that connect with people.
I am so happy that I decided to turn a very enjoyable and rewarding hobby into a full time vocation. The years spent learning and practising my craft have given me a wealth of experience and knowledge, plus a great insight into what people learning photography really need...

"You can tell that Jane genuinely enjoys teaching and gets a kick out of seeing her pupils achieve the shot that they want. She often goes above and beyond to support people in her classes. She offers constructive feedback and allows you to improve quickly. Despite being a great photographer and excellent teacher, its Jane the person that is a massive draw. She is supportive, patient and funny, and manages to connect to people on their level. After a few sessions, not only will you realise you have found a great photography teacher, but a friend too.." ."
