Why Choose Our Photography Training

Real Skills, Real Practice — Hands-On Learning

Our courses emphasize practical, hands-on experience with your camera. You’ll spend your time actively shooting, adjusting settings, and experimenting with techniques in real-world conditions. While we do cover important theory and concepts, the focus is on applying what you learn immediately so you see your skills improve during each session. This practical approach makes our photography courses popular among Johannesburg and Pretoria students who want to leave each lesson with tangible new abilities they can use right away.

Taught by a Working Photographer

With 10+ years of professional photography experience, I bring practical, real-world knowledge to every lesson. You’ll learn techniques that work in actual shooting situations, understand how to handle different lighting conditions and scenarios, and develop skills you can apply immediately. The training focuses on what truly matters when creating great images—helping you move from uncertain to confident with your camera.

Beginner-Friendly, Growth-Focused

Whether you’ve never touched manual mode or you’re ready to refine your technique, these courses are tailored to your current level. You’ll learn at a pace that feels comfortable while being encouraged to push your boundaries. Clear explanations, patient instruction, and supportive guidance help you build genuine confidence behind the lens, one skill at a time.

Personalized Learning – One-on-One or Small Groups

Choose between focused one-on-one sessions where you receive undivided attention and instruction tailored specifically to your needs, or join a small group setting where you’ll learn alongside fellow photography enthusiasts. Both formats include hands-on shooting time, personalized feedback on your images, and direct answers to your questions. Small class sizes ensure you’re never lost in a crowd—you get the individual attention needed to truly improve.

Convenient Locations Across Pretoria & Johannesburg

Training sessions available in Centurion, Pretoria East, East Rand, and Johannesburg with flexible scheduling including weekdays and weekends. Training can be arranged at locations throughout Gauteng that work best for you, making quality photography education accessible wherever you are.

Continued Support After You Complete the Course

Your learning journey doesn’t end when the final session wraps up. Get continued guidance, send your photos for feedback, ask questions as you encounter new challenges, and receive recommendations for your next steps. This ongoing support helps you keep growing long after the course is complete. Many students stay in touch for months afterward, and that continued connection is valued and encouraged.

What Makes These Photography Courses Different

You’ll Actually Use Your Camera

Every session includes substantial shooting time with your own camera. You’re not watching demonstrations for hours—you’re actively taking photos, adjusting settings in real-time, and experimenting with different techniques while receiving immediate guidance and feedback. This hands-on approach ensures you retain what you learn and can apply it confidently on your own.

Learn What Matters to You

The courses cover essential photography fundamentals while allowing room to focus on your specific interests and challenges. Want to photograph your family better? Interested in landscape photography? Struggling with low-light situations? The training adapts to include what’s most relevant to your photography goals, making every lesson valuable and directly applicable to the images you want to create.

Build Real Confidence

Many students arrive feeling overwhelmed by their camera’s settings and capabilities. They leave understanding how their camera works, why certain settings matter, and feeling genuinely excited to go out and practice. That transformation from frustrated to confident is what these courses are designed to achieve—and it happens through patient instruction, practical experience, and personalized guidance at every step.

Client Reviews & Testimonials

Here’s what students have to say about their experience with my photography training:

Marian

“The Nikon DSLR course with Anton Guyt was a rich and fulfilling experience. An amateur photographer, I have been a Nikon D5000 user for over 6 years, with mitigated success, never mastering the technicalities, and often achieving poor-quality images. On recently purchasing a Nikon D7000 for its superior qualities, I signed up for training with Anton and was not disappointed. Four hours of training with Anton have resulted in my greater mastery of the technical aspects of photography in general, and of the Nikon range in particular. I have developed enough confidence to photograph even in difficult nighttime conditions, with success. Anton is highly competent and knowledgeable, is very clear in his explanations and provides hands-on experience to the aspiring photographer. He is patient, responsive and encouraging throughout. He transmits to the aspiring photographer a degree of enthusiasm in his work which I found inspiring. The printed guidelines received after the course are clearly written. I would highly recommend a training course under Anton Guyt’s guidance.”

Oupa

“I acquired a Nikon Z6II and needed a professional to teach me photography—Anton Guyt was absolutely the right choice! His most powerful lesson came on the very first day: ‘Photography is about seeing light. If you can’t see or find light, there is no photography.’ Anton then helps you find your style and subjects, making you a better photographer. He’s humble, a true professional, and a wonderful teacher. If you want to discover the exhilarating world of photography, get Anton Guyt—period!”
