About Roland

Hi, my name is Roland. I am a professional photographer passionate about capturing the beauty of nature.

Especially now travelling through Central America, I feel so fortunate to be able to take portraits of the locals, photograph stunning landscapes, endangered wildlife, incredible sunsets and the sky full of stars.

I am a photographer and an educator. Nothing brings me more joy than sharing my passion for photography with others. In my professional career, I’ve taught over 200 workshops in the UK and abroad, including the prestigious Xposure International Photography Festival in UAE.

I’m also one of the founders of a top photography training company in London – DSLR Photography Courses. Our studio provides top-class courses catering to all skill levels, from beginners to enthusiasts and professionals. It’s been an amazing experience to witness our students’ growth in both technical skills and artistic creativity.

I've studied photography at the Imperial College London, Morley College of Kensington and Chelsea, and I’m a holder of Licentiate Distinction from the Royal Photographic Society.

Since I am on the road, I no longer provide in-person tuition in London, but I look after the company and offer online training to support my journey.


"What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce."
— Karl Lagerfeld

I believe that photography is more than just taking pictures, and I can not agree more with the above quote. It’s about capturing moments, telling stories, and connecting with people and the world around us. Through my work, I hope to inspire others to see the beauty in the everyday and to embrace the power of photography as a means of expression and connection.

If you’re just starting out and thinking that you need an expensive camera to capture great photos like mine, let me stop you right there. As Chase Jarvis once said, “The best camera is the one that you have with you!” I always tell my students to think of photography like any other skill and the camera as a tool. It’s like learning to drive a car or play an instrument – buying the most expensive one won’t automatically make you great at it.

It takes time and practice to master the craft. But once you have the skills, you can pick up any camera and create fantastic pictures!


"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
— Harriet Tubman

After spending the last 25 years living in busy London, my wife and I made the bold decision to uproot our family, and we moved to a remote village in tropical Panama. It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to live in Central America, and the opportunity finally presented itself. We may have to drive for 30 minutes to buy groceries, or almost two hours to reach a city, but it’s a small price to pay for the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture that surround us.

As a professional photographer, I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to pursue my passion for photography in such a beautiful part of the world. My biggest inspiration in photography is Sebastiao Salgado, especially his work published in the books Genesis and Amazonia. Now that I’m finally here, I’m excited to capture the essence of this incredible part of the world through my lens.

Through my work and teachings, my aim is to inspire others to discover and nurture their creative passions, and to help them develop their skills to capture images they can be proud of.

Whether you are interested in taking photography lessons or want quick tips on specific techniques - feel free to get in touch.

Private photography lessons are the best way to learn photography fast!

Whether you are a complete novice, a keen hobbyist, or a pro camera user, I can tailor photography tuition to suit all levels of skill and experience.

My photography lessons will explain the science and art of photography from the ground up combining the theory with inspiring visual examples. Plus, you'll get plenty of hands-on activities to put it all into practice.

Should I book a Beginner class?
My beginners classes are suitable for everyone – from a complete novice with zero photography experience to those who have owned a digital camera for a while but are still struggling to get off the automatic programmes.

Have you just bought a camera? Are you frustrated with all the buttons and the menus? Feel disappointed by the quality of the pictures on auto? Want to learn photography fast and start capturing all the beautiful images you see with your eyes? Then my beginner classes are for you!

We can go over how your camera works and all the important buttons and settings. How to control the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO so that you can start using your camera CREATIVELY!
My ultimate goal is for you to be able to take pictures in the fully manual mode and start using your camera more creatively! I can also help you import your pictures onto the computer and edit them in Adobe Lightroom Classic and/or Photoshop.

Is my camera suitable?
All DSLR cameras, mirrorless and bridge systems from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic and Pentax are very welcome. Generally, any digital camera that allows manual exposure should be suitable for this beginners course. If in doubt – please get in touch.

Contact me with your questions. We can meet on Zoom, discuss your photographic needs and maybe book your first lesson.

With each session, I offer my students pdf course notes, homework and comprehensive feedback.
