I did the beginner photography workshop and it was excellent. We started with a good guided foundation in how cameras worked and how to use setting and then spent the afternoon and early evening applying all that practically.
Paul keeps the groups small and it was fantastic to take some photos and then have him spend time with you giving guidance (and praise!). I strongly recommend.
D Ireland
I attended the beginners and beyond the basics workshop, both sessions had been really fun, enjoyable and highly informative! I’m very appreciative of Paul and the time he took to explain and breakdown some of the problems I was having.
As someone that’s still quite new to the world of photography, it was really awesome to have someone as knowledgeable as Paul, especially when it came to practical side of the workshops. He genuinely helped me so much with bridging some of the knowledge gaps I was having, and fine tuning my skills.
Very highly recommend both workshops!
D Sexton
I did a one-on-one photography course and absolutely loved it. Having that individual attention meant I could ask as many questions as I needed and really focus on the areas I struggled with.
The teaching style was relaxed and supportive, and I learned so much in a short time. I now feel confident actually using my camera instead of just guessing! Highly recommend.
