Brilliant! So much knowledge, shared in an easily understood and interesting manner. Practical exercises meant I knew how to implement what he was saying on my camera.

Hi Margaret, Thanks for your kind review. Today's class went very well and I'm glad you feel more confident with your camera. See you at the next class!

25 Jan 2025Healesville Sanctuary Wildlife Photography Course
Alwyn is a relaxed, friendly and knowledgeable teacher. I'm a bit anxious when it comes to photography, but he made me comfortable and made the process easy. Right away he took me through the way my specific camera works in a way that was appropriate for my skill level (novice). He adjusted any incorrect settings, which was half the problem. Later came the more advanced tips and insights, which were really cool. I like to photograph birds and plants and we went through several techniques for both, including more artistic approaches. The small group makes it a really fun and hands-on process with lots of chances to trouble-shoot and ask questions. It was a great setting at the sanctuary and a really fun experience. Good chats were had by all. Would recommend.

Hi Alex, Thanks for the kind review. We had a great day at Healesville and the animals seemed to know we had cameras and posed! See you on the next course you attend

What a fun and informative morning. Alwyn was helpful, patient and friendly. I accompanied my teenage daughter and we both had a really positive experience and felt included and comfortable.

Hi Belinda, Thank you for your kind review. We had a great day at the Zoo and it did not get as hot as predicted. I hope your daughter likes her photos!

Who am I

My name is Alwyn Hanson, I have been teaching photography for over 30 years in Melbourne. I have worked with and taught over 30,000 people including new users as well as training groups such as Victoria Police,  MFB and many Government Departments. 

I believe in teaching photography in a simple, logical way rather than boring lectures. My classes are short, practical and complete. Most are three hours long (My experience is longer classes don't always achieve good results)

I teach photography and software based on classes that have run with great success in my previous position as manager of Michaels Media School in the Melbourne CBD. 

I am passionate about teaching and want you to use YOUR camera to take great photos.

I can teach you in a class or if you prefer at your home, cafe or local park. 

You tell me what you want and I can make it happen.

Why Alwyns Photo School is different.

We believe in working WITH all the special features on the camera,NOT turning them all off and going manual. The camera companies have spent millions in development, so why reinvent the wheel. We can teach YOU how to take great photos on YOUR own digital camera.

Alwyns Photo School, making great photography easier.
