A personal service is assured at Robert McArthur photography. Two services are our speciality:

Photographic

Photos are taken on commission (portraits or events) or on spec (public events). The most modern digital cameras (Canon fullframe DSLR), best quality lenses (Canon 'L'-for-luxury series) and other equipment are used. The photos are developed digitally; sometimes this can take 15-30 minutes for each image to get the best results for clients. The final images are provided to the client (if commissioned) or made available for purchase via this web site.

Public liability insurance of $10 million is held. Proof is available on request.

Particular photographic duties we love:

  • portraits - photographing families and chlidren in their environment - home, local park, etc.
  • photographing theatre and dance classes, pre-performance and especially during a performance
  • sports photography, indoor or outdoor
Contact us for more information or for other opportunities not mentioned above.

Training & education

The owner and teacher, Robert, has a doctorate in IT and certificate in adult education. He has lectured at university for over four years teaching many hundreds of small group classes. He has presented material ranging from teaching basic photography to beginners to papers at the highest quality international academic conferences.

Training in photography and related areas is core to the business, hence we offer courses in

  • basic & advanced photography;
  • getting the most out of your digital SLR;
  • basic & advanced Adobe Photoshop;
  • Adobe Lightroom.
Everyone is wanting more from their photographs than simply putting a frame around them on the wall. For scrapbookers and other interested in making their photos available in new ways, we highly recommend our course in
  • creating your own photobook
Contact us for more information on these courses and when/where they will next be held. A minimum number of people is needed before we can hold a course so put down your name to be contacted about the next one. Flexibility is important to everyone, so if enough people for a course can be gathered at a particular location around Canberra, it can often be held near to where the group is and at times convenient to the group.
