Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Your first lesson is your opportunity to meet your new tutor and make sure it's a perfect fit. If you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. It's our commitment to helping you find the right person to guide your learning journey.

Do I need to own an expensive camera to start lessons?

Not at all! While many learners use a DSLR or mirrorless camera, our tutors can teach the fundamentals of composition, lighting, and storytelling on any device, including a smartphone. They can even help you decide which camera to buy when you're ready to upgrade.

How much do online photography lessons cost?

The price of photography lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can browse tutor profiles to see their individual rates, which are clearly listed. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.

What will I learn in my first few photography lessons?

Your first lessons will focus on the fundamentals. You'll likely move beyond 'Auto' mode to understand the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), learn about composition rules, and start taking control of your camera to achieve your desired results.

How are Tutorful's photography tutors vetted?

We have a strict vetting process. Only 1 in 8 applicants is accepted. We verify their ID, interview them to assess their teaching ability and subject knowledge, and review their professional and academic credentials to ensure you're learning from a true expert.

Are online photography lessons effective?

Yes, absolutely. Online lessons allow for screen sharing to review photos and demonstrate editing techniques, and you get the tutor's undivided attention. You can learn from the comfort of your home and practice in your own environment.

Can a tutor help me with photo editing software like Lightroom or Photoshop?

Many of our photography tutors are also experts in post-processing and can teach you how to use software like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to enhance your images. Check individual tutor profiles for this speciality.

How long does it take to get good at photography?

Photography is a journey, not a destination. However, with expert 1-to-1 guidance, you can grasp the core technical concepts much faster than learning alone. Many students see a dramatic improvement in their photos within just a few lessons.

Can I find a tutor for a specific niche, like wildlife or wedding photography?

Yes. Our platform allows you to filter tutors by their speciality. Whether you're interested in portrait, landscape, street, product, or wildlife photography, you can find an expert to guide you.

I only have a smartphone. Can I still benefit from a photography tutor?

Definitely, the principles of great photography (composition, light, storytelling, and editing) apply to any camera, including the one on your phone. A tutor can help you maximise the potential of your smartphone camera.

How do I schedule lessons?

Once you've chosen a tutor, you can use our platform to view their availability and book lesson times that are convenient for you. Our integrated messaging system makes it easy to coordinate directly with your tutor.
