Frequently Asked
Questions
Do participants need a camera?
No, although most students come to me with their own camera or device. I can provide a camera if need be. I have a few older DSLR's in great condition and some film cameras as well. The use of a camera is at no extra charge. You may be required to provide your own SD card or film in the case of film photography.
Does the Rando in Fotorando mean anything?
​
Rando is short for "randonnée" in French which means a walk, a hike, a ramble or a trek. So no, it isn't random!
Are you available for hire as a photographer?
​
Absolutely, I still do a lot of freelance work here on the Island. Just reach out!
How safe is a Youth's Class?
It's very safe : locations for classes are central, family friendly and always within cell service. Moving slowly is a key element of the structure and sticking together is mandatory! I'm a first aid responder and experienced in outdoor settings.
Authorized parents/guardians are required to drop off/pick up children at the planned locations (unless authorized differently for teens). No child will ever be left unattended!
Isn't an online class an easier option?
​
Photography is all about immersing yourself in the now and although online classes can certainly teach you valuable lessons, they won't provide you with the opportunity to recognize visual opportunities as you move through space. You're probably spending too much time on your screen as is, and we happen to live on one of the most magical places on Earth. I prioritize an intimate and hands on approach with lots of feedback and personal guidance; all things an online class cannot offer you.
Do I need to supply anything for a darkroom class?
​
You don't! I'll provide everything, from film to paper and chemicals. However, if you're already shooting black and white film, you can certainly bring one along so we can develop it. A roll of film takes a while to dry so we'll need to plan 2 sessions for you to print out those negatives. Alternatively, we can print out any other negatives you already have or I'll use some of mine to show you the ropes. To get the gist of everything in one session, plan for a 4 hour workshop.
How does a South Island Photo Tour work?
​
I will work closely with you to figure out the best course of action to plan your Island Photo venture. Whether you'd like to explore only one area, or make a day of it: I can guide you towards spectacular locations and assist you in capturing images you'll be excited to share! These tours are built for individuals or small groups (kids are welcomed) and can be tailored to different abilities. As we explore areas together, I will assist you with your photography on an individual and custom basis while discussing creative topics and pointing out visual opportunities!
​
Access to a 4x4 vehicle is an option and a driver may be present to enable me more time to chat with you about photography. All participants are required to sign a waiver of liability/release form.
Rates will be calculated based on the type of venture and number of participants. Get in touch today!
Waterfalls, Seascapes and Rainforest vibes are waiting for you...
​
​
Do classes still occur if it's raining?
Yes, classes will run rain or shine so please prepare accordingly. However, in case of extreme weather conditions, courses may be postponed if the conditions are deemed too risky or too unpleasant!
Can parents supervise?
Parents are welcome to remain in the vicinity of the class/outing within close reach. However, I do ask that they keep a distance and interact only if necessary. One of the goals when introducing photography to youths is to offer them a space to build a sense of self reliance, individuality and autonomy.
In addition, it isn't productive to have a lot of people around when
practicing the art of photography! If you have a neurodivergent child or any special needs regarding your child, just get in touch. I can certainly accommodate your needs on a case by case basis!
