Unable to find an institution or company which offered Photoshop classes for a reasonable price, Mel formed Point Shoot Play in July 2007 to cater for people in her same situation.  A novice herself, Mel approached Peta and Sara, who are skilled in photography, Photoshop and scrapbooking, to teach the classes.  Now the company employs three tutors to teach both photography and Photoshop classes, at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.  Point Shoot Play classes are currently hosted by 12 scrapbooking stores in the greater Brisbane area.

Under the guidance of our tutors, you can improve your photographic skills from learning creative and professional photo shooting techniques, to learning how to enhance your photos with Photoshop.  The classes are structured so that they are easy to follow, using non-technical language; ensuring you gain confidence in using the hardware and software.  The photographic techniques we teach will improve your ability to produce professional quality images as well as giving you greater creative freedom. 

Please refer to the Photoshop and Photography Classes sections for details on the content and location of the classes we offer.

Photography has always been a big part Sara's life. From the age of eight she can remember carrying a small 110mm camera with her everywhere and taking photographs of anything that caught her eye. Throughout her school life her friends and peers came to recognise her behind the lens of a camera. By senior year, Sara was school photographer and Junior School liaison officer for the school newspaper.

Sara's love of photography led to an interest in scrapbooking and more recently digital scrapbooking. She has been published in various Australian scrapbooking magazines and has recently been writing features articles for Scrapbooking Memories.

In January 2008, Sara started teaching Point Shoot Play’s new Photography Classes.
