This is a 3-hour course at our studio.

We will identify your best images and examine them for things you did well and for those areas that need work. We will compile a list of criteria that you need to focus on for your next shoot. If you haven't done a shoot with us before, no problem. We request that you bring some of your better images (un-retouched) on a flash memory card so we can take you through our workflow.

Here’s what our student photographers have to say about Danny Steyn's One-on-One Nude and Glamour Photography classes
“Thanks, Danny, for your encouragement and input. I couldn't agree, more, with your comments. Some technical deficiencies came to light, during the shoot, which is exactly what I had hoped for. I know that's how I learn. My learning curve steepened, considerably, on Sunday. I got some really incredible images from the session. Way more than I thought I would come away with. Your recommendation about doing the Basic Digital Class first before the Nude and Glamour class was spot on. I am so glad I did this session first as it made me able to forget about the settings and concentrate on the composition. Thanks, again, Danny.”
“Danny ......... What a treat working with you, and our model Rachael, on my recent photo shoot. To recap: I came to you as a novice, having never used an SLR or a DSLR of any kind. Until recently, I was a point-and-shoot simpleton. During our first 4-hour session, I came away with a working knowledge of exposure, the keystone to good photography.
It was obvious to me that you had instructed many times in the past as your instructional style was clear and well thought out. In our second session, having Rachael as our model was a Godsend. As we both discovered, Rachael doesn't take a bad photo. She made me look so much better than I actually am.
My friends didn't believe I had taken the photos until they saw a few shots your assistant took of us all engaged in the shoot – great idea BTW. Having worked with many technical professionals, I can state that you made my instruction well worth every penny. I am extremely comfortable not only taking photos with my Canon 5D, but teaching my own sons about the camera. This is an unexpected benefit. We have bonded over my newfound hobby, many thanks!
My sister Natasha, whom I also recommend for instruction from you, came away with a similar experience. Please feel free to use this letter for your marketing needs, including posting photos of Rachael, as needed. I can recommend Danny Steyn Photography unequivocally.”
“Danny... Thank you for one of the most rewarding days of my photography life. It's been many years since I've shot 35mm portrait work and I asked you to help me learn digital and lighting. I must say, after your lesson, I just don't want to shoot a subject without the proper lighting, you truly made me think before I shoot. I used to think a picture is a picture and that I could never create what exists in the magazines. You proved me wrong (somewhat)...you are fabulous. Your patience, your team, and your model Melynda made me get even more serious about photography. Thank you, your lovely wife Kim and your team for a very hospitable day. I didn't know what to expect; however, you truly exceeded whatever I thought I would come away with” Sincerely,
“Danny………. I want to thank you, Kim and your entire team for presenting such a thorough and fast paced one-on–one course. The experience was incredible. I learned more in one day with you than I could have ever imagined. You presented concepts clearly and concisely, allowing me time to experiment and correct my techniques in the field. Better still, I appreciated the time we spent working on work flow and having you critique my work. I came away from this experience with a greater appreciation for the art of studio and daytime lighting techniques. I was also impressed with the care and friendship that you and Kim extend to your staff and models. Your amazing team created an environment that allowed me to stay focused on your instructions. I heartily endorse your program for amateur enthusiasts and professional photographers looking to expand their expertise. Well done! I plan to come back once I have absorbed all of the information you provided during our time together.”
“Dear Danny, I thank you for a most beneficial and pleasant one-on-one morning of learning by doing some really special photography under your watchful eye. You and your team made a daunting challenge go smoothly and easily. Everyone’s warmth, friendliness and helpfulness were “above and beyond.” Your teaching technique – explaining, demonstrating, showing and constantly giving feedback – is a gift that is excellent as s your eye for beauty and detail. I would highly recommend both the workshop and the one-on-one to anyone who wants to either learn the basics or refine their skills in the glamour genre. I really did get some wonderful shots! A friend saw my digital images Saturday night and wants to take your workshop and one-on-one. I thought you’d like to know that just having someone look at my (guided) output is enough to sell your course! Thanks again for providing the Workshop and the One-on-One that I rate as among the best learning experiences I’ve ever had – and I’ve been “around the block” a few times.”
