Is this how you might be feeling?
Problem No. 01
You have a great camera, but manual mode still feels confusing — so you stay in auto (or keep switching back) when you don’t have time to think.
Problem No. 02
Light keeps catching you out. Indoors, bright sun, backlight… you can see the photo you want, but you’re not sure what to change to get it.
Problem No. 03
Your results feel hit-and-miss. Some photos look beautiful, others don’t match what you saw in the moment — and you want a more consistent approach.
You WANT:
CLARITY ON CAMERA SETTINGS
A simple, repeatable way to use shutter speed, aperture and ISO — so you can choose settings with confidence.
LIGHT YOU CAN TRUST
To know what to look for, where to stand, and how to adjust quickly — so you can work with whatever light you have.
CONSISTENT, INTENTIONAL PHOTOS
Strong foundations (settings + light + composition) and practical shooting habits — so your images feel more like you, more often.

"I’ve been a photographer for a while but having had a break from it whilst having my children, I lost my confidence a little & I wanted some help to get me back to where I wanted to be.
Teri was fantastic, patient, kind and very reassuring. She helped me immeasurably, we had several sessions over zoom, she gave me tips and ideas about how to move my business forwards. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a bit of help, tutoring or just like me, a bit of guidance. She’s worth every single penny."
- Lucy C.
The Photography Foundations Course is delivered in four key steps, with two engaging modules presented in each lesson over two days.
Every session is thoughtfully structured to help you absorb new skills, and you’ll receive a downloadable workbook to print out at home to guide you through the lessons. This workbook includes practical steps and exercises, allowing you to put your learning into action as we progress through each stage together.
Both lessons are live via Zoom and will be recorded, so you’ll have lifetime access to revisit the material whenever you wish.

Teri Vincent
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 15 years, capturing love stories and teaching aspiring photographers. But it hasn’t always been this way. Before I picked up a camera, I worked as a fashion art director in London for 22 years after studying as a graphic designer. The thought of learning to be a photographer felt overwhelming - too much jargon, too many settings. I know exactly how it feels to be intimidated by the technical side, and that’s why I created this course. My goal is to make photography simple, approachable, and fun for people just like you.

“If you're on the fence, let me just say this is the absolute best decision you can make.”
Working with Teri was the best investment I’ve made in my career. Her wealth of knowledge and supportive approach gave me the confidence to quit my 9-to-5 and pursue photography full-time. She genuinely cares about her students’ success, and it shows in everything she does.

"Teri was great. She put me at ease - no such thing as a silly question. I really enjoyed the sessions and I have learnt a lot."
I like the fact that there were lots of opportunities for hands-on learning to secure my understanding of the theory that Teri taught me. Teri ascertained my level of understanding and went on to further my knowledge.
She covered all the important components and helped me understand my camera more.
I found this course so helpful. She explained everything clearly. I have learnt so much and my photography skills have significantly improved. Thank you Teri!
