Instructor Details

Quinton Batchelor

Hi, I'm Quinton. I'm an avid outdoors photographer and explorer and have been taking pictures for years. I've worked professionally taking photos but my true passion lies in teaching what I love to others. In my younger days of photography I spent countless hours scouring the internet trying to learn the secrets of photography. I just wish there was one place where I could learn everything I needed to know and explain in terms I could understand. My goal is to give you exactly that, I want to help you knock down barriers and master the world of photography. I've shown some of my work below so you can be the judge if I can teach you. But you can also check out my Instagram where I have all my work.

The course was amazing . Everything was explained in a very simple language . I enjoyed watching it . Thank you for offering me this course.

By Ruchi Sharma on 5/8/2024

talks about photography in general. composition, light, portrait. someone who is buying an Iphone would know all these. nothing new.

By Barbara French on 12/25/2023

It was a good match. I’ll need to go back over some sections and a few times what was on the screen didn’t exactly match what was on my iPhone, but I can probably figure that out. I learned a lot of new info.
