My photography classes in Port Douglas, Mossman and Daintree will take you through technical, subject and project based learning. We’ll study the basics of the camera setting triangle: ISO, shutterspeed and aperture, as well as understanding the power of light and framing. We’ll practice what you learn throughout the lesson by doing photo walks, then bringing the images back to the computer for post production. I’ll introduce the different kinds of software available for post production in the digital darkroom, and show you how to use them.
I have just finished working on my Port Douglas Wedding Packages PDF, it covers elopement packages as well as regular wedding packages so if you are considering keeping it super simple and eloping, then drop me a line at martinecottonphotography@gmail.com. Oh, and I’m always up for a Trash the Dress session!

Swanky new logos designed by the outrageously talented London based Australian designer Chris Cotton at 37percentpolyester. What a star he is. If you need a fantastic designer, (don’t believe me? Check out his portfolio!) go straight to his website and get in touch with him.
Finally. Finished. That. Damn. Portfolio. Site. www.martinecotton.com. Go check it out. No doubt there will be glitches and growing pains but, well…. it’s mostly done.
