Whether you want to refine your editing skills, prepare a competition entry, or simply take your underwater photography technique to the next level, Alex offers personalised one-to-one sessions designed entirely around your goals.

Tailored private coaching to develop your photography and portfolio

Each session is planned in advance to focus on your specific interests and challenges. Most popular are portfolio reviews, identifying areas for improvement and selecting images for contests.

Sessions can be in person or online. While Alex’s preferred platform is Zoom, online sessions can be run on a variety of video conferencing tools and recorded for future reference. Topics may include:

  • Lightroom & Photoshop workflow – Professional tuition in editing underwater images to bring out their full impact. Alex has extensive experience diagnosing problems quickly and transforming images with subtle but powerful adjustments.

  • Portfolio appraisal & editing – Honest, practical advice to identify your strongest photographs and how best to use them for stock, editorial, print sales, or competition entries.

  • Underwater photography techniques – In-depth instruction on both classic and advanced techniques, tailored to your learning style and diving conditions.

  • Competition preparation – Guidance on image selection and optimisation, drawing on Alex’s experience as a multi-award winner and respected judge of leading international contests.

  • Camera gear advice – Independent, experience-based recommendations to help you make smart equipment choices without sales pressure.

  • Career development – Insights into raising your profile, succeeding on social media, and getting published, based on decades of professional success.

Rates & availability

Alex charges £150 per hour (minimum one hour). Bookings of four hours or more include an informal “off the clock” lunch break for further discussion.

Sessions are preferably held on weekdays during UK office hours. Alex only has so much time for 1:1s and in busy periods (run up to contest deadlines) bookings are on a first come, first served.

In-person tuition is available at Alex’s home-office in Devon, England.

Alex also offers remote one-to-one teaching via video call with screen sharing and recording — making it easy to learn from anywhere in the world.
