An excellent introduction to Street Photography. Robert is a fantastic facilitator who not only has considerable experience, he somehow manages to spend 1:1 time with every student so it feels like a private lesson. Highly recommend.

Laura was a great teacher. Patient and very clear in her instruction and if I didn?t understand something she was always happy to repeat herself. For me I was looking for a refresher on how to use my camera and this course was perfect.

Great value for money.
I was really please that the smartphone session was all about photography techniques as opposed to camera apps / software and using filters etc.
I'm confident that I can apply these techniques to all my photography!

I was looking forward to this event and I wasn't disappointed. We had a small group and Matt was able to teach each of us one on one the camera settings for various types of photography photojournalism, light trails, light painting, fireworks and portrait. Matt was easy to understand, patient and a genuine nice guy.

Matt provided excellent tuition for taking photos on the 'manual' setting, and great locations to take night shots. I now feel confident to set my camera to manual mode and develop my photography skills.
