Seng, you’re absolutely an amazing and brilliant photographer. I learn more and more off you every time I do a workshop. I wouldn’t have more passion for photography, if it wasn’t for your knowledge and experience.. Thank you so much!! (Tracey Mountford)

Thank you for today’s workshop. It’s exactly what I’d hoped for and it has filled in ALL the gaps for me! I’ve attended quite a few photographic workshops this year around Perth and you’re by far the best. You make it so clear and easy to understand. (Nancye Miles-Tweedie)

I have been on a number of workshops with Seng and two overseas photography trip. I cannot speak highly enough of his organisational skills and fabulous teaching style. He has the patience of a saint. He is a fantastic person and a lot of knowledge to impart on anyone wanting to learn. I wholeheartedly recommend his courses. (Carol Cole)

Seng's charisma and passion for photography were more than evident when he delivered his course for beginners to our Marketing and Communications team. Not only is he well spoken, knowledgeable and amusing, he put the entire class at ease and made everyone feel comfortable enough to put their hands on a camera. If you're looking for someone who knows his craft and has a great teaching style, Seng's your man! (Paul Giovannetti, Online Communications Officer, St John Ambulance WA)

About Seng

I'm an accredited professional photographer, teacher, traveler and my aim with Venture Photography Workshops and Tours is to make you a better, stronger, more confident and more creative photographer.

More than ever before, photography allows us to record moments of our lived experiences, to express our visual creativity, to share the unique ways in which we see the world and to help us tell stories about our lives and experiences.

Great photography comes through the synergy of technical confidence in the tools of the trade (your camera, lenses and accessories), a solid understanding of light and how you can use it, and the ability to compose, frame and shoot that expresses a personal creative vision. My goal is to develop your abilities across all these areas of photography and help you become the best photographer you can be.

I see the world through the lens when I shoot, but more than that, I'm creating something that I want to preserve and share: a story, an emotion, a mood, a feeling, an idea. And I want to show you how you can do this - whether you're photographing your family, a street scene, a landscape, a close up... anything. So, come join me in this endless adventure of image taking and image making, and let me take your photography further than you ever expected!

You will be so glad with your decision to do one of Seng's workshops - he is the best teacher, excellently prepared, and you will definitely get your money's worth! I can highly recommend him to anybody, whether starting on their photography journey, or looking to go to the next level. I learnt so much from this man! (Sally Kelso)

I REALLY enjoyed your workshop; it was exactly what I wanted and was so well delivered. I often find that I go to workshops and it’s either too advanced and I am shy to ask ‘dumb’ questions or it is not quite as organised. Your workshop was so well presented and informative, delivering exactly what I needed to improve my lighting techniques. (Brenda Thompson)

Over many years I have attended many workshops, events and tours with Seng Mah from Venture Photography. I cannot speak more highly about Seng's ability to teach in a way that is easy to follow and understand. His friendly and caring nature and genuine interest in your progress as a photographer is what sets him apart from the rest. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced you will not regret an investment with a Venture Photography Workshop. (Martin Carter)
