A Carr
This was a wonderful relaxing tutorial. Paul is exceptional at explaining (in layman’s terms where needed) how to use the camera.
He was very patient and nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for someone to help you with your camera and how to get great results from it, Paul is most definitely the person to help you.
M Whatuira
My friend and I did the beginner course and absolutely loved it. The group was so small and the explanations were so simple in a way everyone could understand them, none of us had any experience at all and we left with so much knowledge. The night photos were amazing.
Paul is an amazing natural teacher with so much experience, we felt comfortable and had the best day. Highly recommended if you are wanting to learn your way around a camera and photography
M De Wet
I recently completed the one-to-one personal tuition, as well as the one-to-one night photography / long exposure course.
Paul’s patience and understanding certainly assisted me in my photography journey and I highly recommend Photo Genius to anyone who wants to sharpen their photography skills.
