About Louise and The Foto Creative
Hello and welcome to The Foto Creative, thanks for stopping by.
If you’re as passionate about photography as I am, you’ve come to the right place. My name is Louise. I’m a Mum of two girls, a wife, horse woman, daughter, business woman and all-things-creative lover! I’m also a super passionate portrait photographer and photography educator.
I mostly specialize in capturing people, pet and equine portraits, and love to capture the intensely deep connections horses and pets have with their people. I also love working with kids and families, and occasionally do a little commercial work too. When I want to get back to nature, I love doing astro and landscape photography while traveling in outback Australia, immersing myself in the culture and environment.
I also REALLY love to teach. (And talk!) So now I share my knowledge with anyone who wants to learn. So if you love photography and want to take it to the next level, or perhaps just bought your first camera (YAY!) I’m here to help you all the way!
You will find my workshops and masterclasses really informative, easy to follow and immersive, because I think there is nothing better than getting in ‘boots and all’ into your photography. Designed to be uncomplicated, keeping the tech stuff simple and easy to understand while nurturing and developing the creative in you. Online learning is another way for us to connect and perfect if you’re not local.
One-on-one private tuition is also available in my Drouin studio or globally via ZOOM, which is easy, fun and convenient. Covering all aspects of photography. Mentoring for Professionals is also available. Give me a call so we can have a chat on 0412 942897 or email me at louise@louisesedgmanphotography.com.au (Discounts apply to small group private tuition.)
And hey, if you are into horses, you might like to see some photos on my other website, just click HERE and enjoy. Thanks for stopping by, have a browse and see what inspires you.
