What can I learn in one-on-one lessons?
In our one-on-one photography or videography lessons, I typically address a range of topics with participants; however, we are open to exploring additional subjects as well.
How does a camera work? Camera Settings and Lenses: In one-on-one lessons, you master camera and telephoto, wide-angle, and prime lenses. Learn about camera settings like ISO, shutter speed, and aperture to build a solid foundation to take amazing photos. Familiarise yourself with family, landscape, street and travel photo settings.
Composition in Photography: The mentorship covers composition techniques for capturing balanced images in landscapes, portraits, street or any other form of photography.
Photo Editing in Adobe Lightroom: Mentorship sessions can be about improving photo editing skills in Adobe Lightroom. Fine-grained adjustments like exposure correction, colour grading, sharpening, noise reduction, and selective exposure corrections using layers are possible with Lightroom. A skilled instructor who has edited thousands of photos, particularly landscapes, travel and portraiture photographs, I guide you through the photo editing process with one-on-one photography lessons during our photography mentorship sessions
Filmmaking and Videography: I offer one-on-one mentorship for videography and filmmaking, available online and in person. Our sessions cover essential topics like scripting, planning, camera choices, settings (fps, ISO, shutter speed, aperture), and composition techniques. We'll also tackle log footage, cinematic film creation, tutorials, and documentary-making. I'll help you with camera filters, lighting, audio equipment, and sound design. Each lesson is tailored to your interests and skill level, ensuring you gain the confidence to realize your creative vision.
Editing Video in Adobe Premiere Pro: In our personalized, one-on-one video editing sessions, we will explore Adobe Premiere Pro. We will learn how to trim, edit, colour-correct, add music and sound, and share your videos online through engaging storytelling.
The key advantage of personalised photography or videography lessons.
Visual storytelling through photography or videography aims to convey emotions and narratives effectively. The creative process involves careful planning, execution, and refinement, balancing technical skills with creative insight. With the industry evolving rapidly, mentorship in photography provides ongoing support and insights, helping you enhance your style and build a strong portfolio.
Success as a filmmaker requires passion, dedication, and adaptability. Understanding the business side, including marketing and client relations, is vital while experimenting with innovative techniques. Investing in tailored mentorship offers invaluable experience for those serious about their creative careers.
You can stand out as a visual storyteller by continuously refining your skills and embracing new challenges. Take charge of your journey—schedule a personalized photography session to unlock your full potential!

Testimonials
I highly recommend online photography courses and sessions with Muji. I signed up with Muji and he offered me extensive online support to help build my photography skills. I was deeply impressed with his commitment to help by providing immediate online support when I was stuck with questions or edits after photo shoots. He commands a vast amount of photography wisdom. My advice is to learn both basic and advanced photography skills from him.
— Ronnie Sing, India.
I had a one-to-one lesson with Mujahid about landscape photography, and we spent an afternoon taking photos on the beach. He was friendly and encouraging and gave me lots of great tips and tricks--not just about the techniques of taking good photos, but also the practical aspects of the location, what to pack, etc. An enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
— Kati, Cape Town, South Africa.
Muji's group classes made learning fun. How he got us to practically apply the film speed, shutter speed, and aperture triangle opened up new horizons for my photography.
— Isaaq Lundall, Cape Town, South Africa.
Muji's classes have both a theoretical and practical component, which is helpful because photography is practical. In the past, I found the theory of photography very technical and challenging. I was transported to my traumatised teenage self, who had to endure the teacher's unexplainable physics terminology. Fortunately, with Muji, the boring physics terminology was explained in a more relatable and understandable way, and most importantly, each component was demonstrated after it was presented.
