Does One Brand Stand Out For you?

Phone Photography & Videography Tutoring

“I thought I needed an expensive camera to take good photos…

…… Gavin showed me how to use my cell phone to take great shots and make short videos. I love that my camera/phone is always with me and I can do as much photography as I want!”

- Claire Richardson

Most smart phones today, even the inexpensive ones, have a very capable camera for photos and videos. I’m a semi-pro photographer; I’ve sold and published my works and I’ve also have my own small youtube channel where I’ve made all my videos using only my cellphone. Have a look at some of the cellphone videos I’ve made below.

I’d be happy to teach you how to take great photos, edit them and make fun short videos with your cell phone. This is a particularly enjoyable course that can be shared with a few friends. We can meet at an outdoor location in beautiful Victoria, with lots of interesting subjects to shoot and film.
