What people are saying

I didn’t realise I could take such amazing photos with my phone! My old photos were sort-of ok but I knew there were tricks and functions in the phone that I hadn’t learned. Chris is the Phone Camera Guru! She’s an excellent teacher and showed me how easy it is to take fantastic shots, in just a few hours. Such a worthwhile course, heaps of encouragement, lots of fun, I loved it all!

I joined Christine at a smartphone workshop at Tulip Tops garden and learnt so much of the power hidden in my phone and also had a fabulous time learning from such a vibrant and knowledgeable person. Christine is a clear and patient communicator with so much passion for helping people take great photos whether they are using a smartphone or all the professional kit. A fun day out tip toeing around the tulips.

I had a wonderful day with Christine taking snaps of the local area. She was a great teacher and being a complete beginner Christine was so patient and guided me through the whole workings of my camera. I didn’t realise how involved and fun it could be and feel I’ll be forever learning and creating my own works of art.

I’m looking forward to many years of snapping away and will never be able to say I have nothing to do. Thank you Christine….

Anne G

Christine is a brilliant teacher. The tour was expertly paced and each of the attendees received personalised attention. It was fun and relaxed, with plenty of time to learn new techniques, ask questions, and explore in an unhurried way. Highly recommend & a highlight of the year!

Emma G

I learned more in the first 5 minutes with Christine than I had in 6 months of playing with my new camera.

She is such a wonderful and encouraging teacher, she has a relaxed style which put me instantly at ease. I love the way that she researches each model of camera on the tour so that she can provide specific coaching to help us get the best out of our own camera. Can’t wait to do her night course next!

Claudie Hunter

My wife and I are travelling overseas shortly and while I had an understanding of photography basics, I lacked the skills and confidence to make full use of my camera.

Enter Christine and click walk learn Photography Tours!

I found Christine based on her excellent reviews and I decided to take a one-on-one photography tour.

Well, it certainly didn’t disappoint and went way beyond my expectations. Christine took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve from the tour and came up with a lesson plan to suit. She even researched the workings of my specific camera, to the point where she knew more about its various functions and settings than I did!

She took me on a tour of Sydney city, taking in a wide variety of different sites and situations – like what we will be exposed to when we are travelling. Christine is an excellent teacher – friendly, patient, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable.

Her delivery and explanations of the various aspects of photography were detailed, yet simple to understand and more importantly, easy to retain. As well as a refresher on the basics, some of the things we covered were metering, white balance, bokeh, shooting in different or varying light conditions, and composition (developing that “photographer’s eye”).

I learned so much from our short time together that will really help me during our holiday and into the future. Christine also followed up the tour by sending me detailed notes and pointers as a reminder and to reinforce what I had learned on the tour.

All in all, it was a wonderful day and the time literally flew by. I learned so much in such a short time from a skilled and passionate teacher.

Considering the time we had together and the one-to-one instruction I thought the cost was very reasonable.

Whether you’re new to photography or you want to enhance and develop your skills, I cannot recommend Christine and Click, Walk, Learn Photography highly enough. It was an absolutely fabulous experience. This was a masterclass – a really amazing and informative photography tour.

Mark P

Well, what a day! Fun Fun And Fun! Learn’t so much. It’s amazing what you can find and discover with a great photographer at hand. Tips and tricks. Christine made my day excellent. We all had personalised attention and the day just flowed. She made learning about my camera easy and enjoyable.

Julie S

I had the most enjoyable day with Christine in Kiama. I was a bit nervous at first but once I met her, I felt at ease. I loved how she took the time to explain the camera settings to each of her students. Her knowledge is very good and well worth it if you are thinking of signing up for one of her tours.

Julie E

Whatever your level, this was a great experience. Chris has an uncanny ability to quickly size up where you are with your photography so whether you’re pretty much a first-timer or an experienced hobbyist, you’ll get a great deal out of it.
She knows the spots, does the work, and has technical knowledge that would suit anyone, and it’s a lot of fun. Thoroughly recommended.

Warren

Excellent VividTour! I had a great time with Christine as she was an excellent guide at the Vivid Light Display around the Sydney Opera House, Circular Quay, and Sydney Rocks precinct. In the process of enjoying the outstanding views, Christine guided me in many ways to improve my photography when shooting at night, in very crowded conditions and a very chilly environment which allowed me the opportunity to take many photographs. Thanks Chris.

Tim N

I had a fabulous day out in a small group with Christine teaching me how to use MY camera.
I’m a novice and not confident using my camera, but with hands-on guidance and clear explanations, I learned a great deal.
Christine is warm and enthusiastic, very informative, and an excellent teacher.
The day was fun and a great experience. I would thoroughly recommend Christine and her tours are a wonderful way to learn more about photography.

Great day in the Southern Highlands visiting beautiful gardens and learning advanced techniques.

I was able to focus on a few areas that were not clear to me (metering, understanding light etc) and Christine explained it in a way that made sense. Look forward to another tour.

Pat

I found Christine from click walk learn through a friend. I had been having issues with focusing my pictures. I struggled to understand the triangle of manual photography. Christine made it so simple, she explained how shutter speed works with depth of field and ISO in a way that made sense to me. Having spent time following the simple instructions from Christine my photos are balanced and sharper. My frustration levels have reduced and I am totally enjoying my photography. Christine has made this hobby my happy place. Thank you for that.

Simone H

My DSLR photographic skills and abilities have improved significantly at click walk learn through the hands-on guidance and tuition of Christine Bernasconi. She has the ability to teach both young and old just how to use their camera (Canon, Nikon, Olympus) to their best ability and I could not recommend her highly enough.

Tim N

I bought a camera with the intention of taking photographs for my job but had no prior knowledge of photography.

I enrolled in click walk learn’s beginner workshop and Christine taught me how to use MY camera (the exact model) as well as how to make the camera capture what I wanted it to. I went from shooting in auto to having complete control over my equipment, and from just pointing my camera to thinking about composition and finding the best light.

Because of the foundations Christine built, I’m now a professional photographer and have been able to quit my day job and focus on my passion. I’m forever grateful.

Amey B

I did a number of photography tours with Christine including the last one, in October 2019, “Iconic Architecture in Canberra” which was a refresher course in learning the basics of using your camera and the important elements one needs to understand when taking photos.

Christine is very knowledgeable about photo taking. Everything is explained very clearly and repeated to make sure you grasp what she is talking about. In addition to her explanation, she will demonstrate it by taking a photo. Christine’s group lessons are not large thus allowing are to help individuals who are having problems. She also supplies handouts to use as a reference tool.
Christine is a lovely dedicated person full of energy and encourages you to post your photos for her to critique.

Paola G

Experiencing VIVID with Christine on her photography tour was fantastic. I came away with a greater understanding of night photography specific to VIVID and Christine’s well-researched knowledge of Vivid and the city made it stress-free. Christine has a gift for teaching, she is patient, and knowledgeable, and no matter what your skill level you will learn from her incredible knowledge of photography and all types of camera gear. Before you go she provides you with information to prepare you and then critiques your images after the tour. Christine’s friendly, warm, and fun personality makes learning photography even more enjoyable. Highly recommend click walk learn photography tours.

Tracey

This was a great experience which started with some theory on the use of the camera whilst having a coffee at Burawang and then on to the 5th Chapter garden and after lunch at Exeter on to Red Cow Farm. These were 2 fabulous gardens and great for photography.
Christine gave each of us (there were 4 students) plenty of time and hints to improve our skills. Christine also reviewed my photos and provided helpful comments.
I have attended many photographic courses over the years and I can say that Click Walk Learn was the best.

Sally

I recently did a photography tour with Christine to Tasmania, it was thoughtfully and carefully planned and researched to give her students as much tutorial as they wanted or needed and also was full of enjoyment.

We went in early January specifically so that we could see the lavender in full bloom which didn’t disappoint. There were a few early mornings for sunrise shooting at fabulous places, once again well-researched, and it helped enormously that we also had great weather, particularly at Cradle Mountain.

If you are considering doing one of Christine’s photography tours I have no hesitation in recommending you do it, you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Lorraine C

Chris designed a fabulous itinerary that made the most of Tasmania’s natural beauty and history. With excellent photography tuition for any level, Chris is a very kind, engaging, and solicitous host.

I learned so much in a very supportive environment. Thank you Chris for helping me be a better photographer. The itinerary was fabulous, the accommodation was great and the food was fantastic. Best of all, it was fun!

Beth P

I recently went on a photography tour to Tasmania with Christine from Click Walk Learn Photography Tours. The tour was well organised, tuition was always available and given readily, and places visited were photographically relevant and interesting, in fact, every detail from the accommodation, meals, etc. was taken care of.

Christine is a very personable and fun lady and being in her company was a pleasure. As well as improving my photography skills I enjoyed the tourist side as well. From my experience of many day trips with Christine to the Tasmanian experience, I would thoroughly recommend her photography tours.

Judy S

Thank you Christine for getting me out and about, and being more creative with my photography – I feel so much more confident with my camera now knowing its features – somewhere along the way I feel like the penny dropped – goodbye auto, and looking forward to the next workshop.

Sam W

I had a fantastic learning experience at the Click Walk Learn with Christine at the Rocks.

It was a small group of three and Christine gave each of us individual attention. She knew a great deal about photography basics and advanced techniques as well as about all the buttons on our personal cameras.

Christine offered a lot of information, great tips, and critiques on the spot as we were walking and taking our photos. She is very encouraging, easy to understand, and inspirational. I would highly recommend Click Walk Learn tours to anyone.

Nadya T

I had high hopes for this tour and they were met in every sense. It was a magical night I will remember for a long time. I found Christine’s explanations and suggestions spot on and her personality ideal for this type of event. I certainly look forward to attending more click walk learn tours. Thank you again for a great night.

Mario G

I had a great trip to the Blue Mountains with ClickWalkLearn. Amazing how much I saw and learned. Great group of people, an excellent organisation/itinerary, and tons of knowledge and extras. Great lunch too! Highly recommend!

Andy B

Thank you very much for your newsletter ‘PHOTOGRAPHY TALK’. I really think that you have to publish a book. You always advise straight to the point, very clear, and easy-to-understand information. Your diagrams are a masterpiece. Everyone will remember them forever. Most of the books that have been written by professional photographers are too lengthy, boring, and difficult to comprehend by someone with limited experience. Your little instructions are totally opposite, clear, short, and very helpful. Thanks a lot 🙂

Elena S

Had a fantastic tour with Christine on the Macro, Landscape & Architecture tour last Saturday. I learned a lot about the various techniques of photographing waterfalls, buildings, and flowers. Chris makes it a fun experience which seems to make the learning easier. I have done several tours with Chris and enjoyed the experience each time and have no hesitation in recommending click walk learn to anyone who has an interest in photography.

Lorraine C

On a recent short stay in Sydney, I decided to join a click walk learn photography tour.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, being a novice photographer, Christine’s helpful guidance and considerable knowledge gave me a better understanding of the workings of my camera and photography in general.
Christine’s advice on photo composition was invaluable and her helpful tips and mentoring enabled me to take some fantastic photos not only on the tour but for the remainder of my time in Sydney.
I would certainly recommend anyone who has an interest in photography to join a click walk learn photography tour.

Chris M

I’ve just spent a magical morning on Coogee Beach with Christine from Click Walk Learn.
Christine is full of energy and enthusiasm about photography which is passed through to her students. This makes the morning not only informative but fun as well. At the end of the day, you’ll walk away with some new amazing skills which will be reflected in the photos you have taken.

Tony L

I went on Christine’s Night Photography course and found it an invaluable experience. A very small group size meant that Christine gave lots of attention to everyone, really spending the time to make sure everybody understood what she was teaching. The obvious time she puts into prep also, having your camera’s manual on hand, for example, really shows. Christine’s passion for photography is delightfully infectious, and I finished the night full of new ideas and techniques.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Christine’s tours to anybody wanting to learn some technique while visiting some of Sydney’s most iconic photo locations. I will absolutely be booking another of her courses when I’m next in Sydney.

John D

What a great tour and fun way to learn. Christine was able to apply a hands-on approach to learning, teaching my daughter and me how to take a great photo and equally importantly, how to use our cameras. We had no idea we could learn so much in such a short space of time.

Christine is so knowledgeable and best of all, patient and willing to impart her skills. She not only is a gifted photographer but a gifted teacher as well.

My daughter and I feel like we have known her for years. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone holidaying in Sydney and wanting to make the most of capturing the beauty of this city.

Thank you Christine, it was worth every cent and more.

Tina M

I had a great learning experience (and adventure) with Christine on the recent photography tour of The Rocks.

She has an amazing ability to teach the basics of photography in the first few minutes of the tour. She adds to your knowledge and skill, step-by-step–immediately building on your experience.

Christine was able to quickly establish a warm and safe learning environment on the historic streets of Sydney. Her passion for photography and empathy as a teacher were a magnetic combination. Hands-on experience is an important way of learning and is the core of her teaching philosophy. She made learning fun.

She gave me a tour of my own camera. I learned how to use my camera in a variety of different conditions using a variety of settings. My photography skills and confidence improved immediately.

Christine was able to cover basic and more advanced skills in the same afternoon. I also learned from the others in the class. I left the tour with great photos, new friends, and wonderful memories of a historic district in Sydney.

I recommend this tour and this learning method to both basic and advanced photographers who want to learn more about the city and about the creative side of photography.

Jeri C

I participated in my first walking tour with click walk learn last weekend.
I was relatively experienced in regard to my camera operation compared to some others in the group.

Christine’s ability to explain the basics to those who needed help was impressive.
She was clear, precise, easy to understand, and extremely helpful, and even though I perhaps didn’t need to know the basics I still found her advice valuable.

Her knowledge of the 4 different cameras in the group was of a professional standard.
I would very much recommend click walk learn for anyone who loves to take photos, regardless of your skill level – you WILL come away having learned so much and will have had a great time in the process. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Dyan H

I had such a great day on Saturday at The Rocks Click Walk Learn Photography Tour with Christine Bernasconi.

I had no idea of the capabilities of my camera and just how creative you can get with photography until Chris taught us some really cool photography skills and techniques.

It was really great having the day to talk about photography, learn different things, and then put this theory into practice by taking different shots around the beautiful Rocks area.

The manual accompanying the tour was really comprehensive and is a really good resource to have to go back and look at after the tour. I have really enjoyed looking through my photos from the tour. I am quite proud of them!

I recommend Click Walk Learn Photography Tours to anyone who wants to have a great, relaxed day out learning about photography techniques that will enhance the quality of your photographs from then on.

Laura G

Christine’s passion for teaching photography was evident from my first conversation with her and remained through the critiquing of my photographs after the tour.

My photography skills, photo composition, and comfort for shooting out of “automatic” mode improved and to my surprise, I discovered a greater interest in shooting in black and white! An unexpected bonus of my click walk learn tour was being introduced to a new place, Cockatoo Island, which I plan to return to for more snaps and exploration.

Sophie F

I’ve always been told I have an OK eye for photography but I have to take lots of photos of the same thing to find something that looks good. The biggest problem with this was that I always shot in auto mode despite having a Canon DSLR camera, so naturally, I don’t know what the camera has done to make it look good…
Auto mode is exactly what Christine Bernasconi of click walk learn Photography Tours promised I would never use again! With a 30-minute run-through of how to set the camera to Aperture Priority mode, we were off and away around picturesque Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour with Christine pointing out potential shoots with gentle guidance on what might make the shot a winner.
Aperture, depth of field, exposure compensation, and even black and white – were all informative and understandable information. And what I loved was that the tour wasn’t rigid, if I saw something off to the side I could just wander away and experiment before finding my way back to the group. Christine also knows her cameras and was very patient when explaining something that took my head a while to get around.
A week later I had my critique back with very encouraging words and further advice on what I could try with the shot again in the future. Also, I found friends and family who have liked my photos from the past and LOVED the photos from this tour. So if you want to simply and easily learn how to get off Auto Mode all the while exploring some great locations and taking amazing shots then I can’t recommend click walk learn Photography Tours with Christine Bernasconi enough.
And Christine was right, I will never use Auto Mode again!

Glenn M

I went from zero to hero photographer in just a few hours. It was amazing that you had time to individually critique so many photos both on the tour and afterward. The mix of theoretical and practical feedback was the perfect combination to learn a lot about photography in a very short amount of time. You also helped my creativity by pointing out angles I wouldn’t have thought of or tweaks to photos. Just to top things off, the course notes are easy to read and understand and an excellent reference and we had a delightful coffee and cake stop just when we were getting a bit tired.

Thank you, Christine, you are the best photography teacher I’ve ever come across. Inspirational and easy to understand, what a great combination”

Julie C

For all walks of life, this experience will be most enjoyable, guaranteed to walk away feeling confident and empowered as a photographer.

Chloe N

click walk learn was a great experience. Christine explained the technical principles of photography in a very digestible way for newbies that she should write a book on it!

Christine helped me to open my eyes in terms of photography – I am more inclined to see the beauty around me now, even in the simplest of things with the camera. You’ll visit places you’ve seen before, but at the same time, you haven’t really seen them before 🙂

I genuinely recommend anyone who wants to learn to shoot manually (and never again do auto) whilst having great fun and exploring places differently – to do this Photography Tour.

Hendra T

I’d always approached taking photos with apprehension because I knew I wasn’t good at it. My photos were always too blurry, with red eyes or just set awkwardly with composition. Thanks to click walk learn tours and Christine’s encouraging advice I now have the confidence to use my automatic point-and-shoot camera and take expert shots. However, I’d like to take it further now and get a DSLR. I recommend her tours because they’re fun, one-on-one and you’ll be surprised at how good you really are behind the lens.

Karina S

The click walk learn tours are an experience not to be missed. Not only do you get a chance to “drive” your camera properly with the expert advice of a professional photographer, but you also get to slow down and take in this wonderful city of ours and see things from a new perspective.

I can recommend to even the most novice photographers that it will be an experience not easily forgotten!

Robyn C

click walk learn photography tours with Christine is a truly wonderful experience. I have done 2 of Christine’s tours. The 1st at Cockatoo Island with only auto mode experience. In no time I was taking shots using various settings with different lighting. I came away so excited that a couple of months later I did the Rocks tour.

Christine, you’re wonderful, I would recommend you take a tour with click walk learn, you will be surprised at how great your day will be.

Joyce B

Wow, what an amazing experience we had with Christine on the recent Cockatoo Island photography tour.

She has an extensive, in-depth knowledge of everything you could possibly want to know about photography, from basics to advanced, which she teaches with passion in a very simplistic and hands-on way.

My photography skills definitely improved after just a few hours of Christine’s very professional tutoring and expertise.

We had lots of fun and laughs in this relaxed learning environment and we finished the day off with a glass of wine on the water’s edge of the harbour, bliss!! Certainly a fabulous day to remember, we can’t wait to join you for The Rocks tour soon.

Jenn H

I recently joined Christine on a Click, Walk and Learn tour as a complete novice photographer. Over 4 hours I not only attained a firm grasp of the fundamental building blocks of photography but was also challenged to consider the more creative elements of composing shots.

Christine is a knowledgeable and passionate teacher who made the afternoon a wonderful experience. I would recommend anyone, whether a novice or more experienced photographer to join Christine on any of her tours to help improve their skills.

I look forward to joining Christine again when her night courses are up and running.

Jim B

Christine was well planned for the photographic tour having downloaded each participant’s individual camera manual to her iPad for reference. Participants were never left wondering, “But how do I do that on my camera?”.

Christine was extremely personable and ensured that each participant was afforded individual time at their own level throughout the tour.

Christine’s personal work is of an extremely high standard and she is always willing to offer continued support and encouragement to her clients.

I have strongly recommended Christine Bernasconi Photography and click walk learn Photography Tours to friends interested in photography.
