About your teacher
Alfonso Calero - In 2001 I graduated with a diploma in photography from the Sydney Institute of Photography.

Some recent clients include; German Business Weekly, Japan Cuisine magazine, West NSW country councils, Notre Dame University, Travel & Living magazine, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and Big 4 caravan resorts. I regularly take keen photographers on workshops through the Rocks, and overseas. I also teach photography part time at Ultimo TAFE.
