Photo Sydney focus 
We see photography as the primary visual art of our time. By example we encourage and teach camera work as the art of two-dimensional picture composition — carrying forward the traditions of sketching, painting and
chemical photography.
    Digital photography, even in its early development, colours the future with exciting and creative potency. Some things never change: but the new technologies promise the formerly unachievable.

Simple approach
Converting ideas into successful pictures requires understanding the technical rules of photography. But the basic principals are easy to learn — and not as complex as portrayed.
    The Photo Sydney approach is to cover technical stuff quickly, presenting it in an easy-to-remember form.

Making pictures
Our primary interest is moving quickly to the goal of taking and making great pictures. And that's where the fun starts.

Course coordinator
and guide
Photo Sydney was established by Greg Dickins as culmination of a life-long fascination with the visual arts and practice of photography.

    “I have worked as a journalist and media consultant for most of my career. Although flirting briefly with aspects of professional photography, I decided on reflection, to reserve my photo energies for my own interests and work.
    “I took up photography in my late teens, in the late 1960s, working with 35mm SLR cameras. This was the same time the format began its domination of the photographic world. Since then I have maintained a permanent darkroom, working mostly in black & white.
     “In 2004, after watching the development of digital cameras for five years, I guessed the time was right to try the new medium. 
    "What I have discovered since then has inspired me to share my experience with others who wish to challenge their visual potential through discovery in the new medium of digital photography. On the way there however, we will also reflect on the history and traditions of photography since its beginnings.
    “In my view photography, like all the arts, thrives in an environment where like-minded people come together to share creativity, ideas and to learn. I see Photo Sydney  as the centre for a new school of photographers of the city — residents and visitors alike.”
