▶▶ Previous Participant Feedback ◀◀
"Jo was fantastic in facilitating this class. She was engaging, relatable, knowledgeable, and made the classes a lot of fun. I learned a lot from the four sessions about photography."
"I am going to take awesome photos. My family has loved the ones I have taken so far so they will be given as presents."
"I learned about aperture/ISO/shutter speed work together in producing awesome photos. Hands-on learning by way of a trip to Wilson Park Berwick was fantastic. I plan to take awesome photos of my grandchildren. This course was very well presented, and I have definitely gained more confidence in using my camera."
"This is a great course for SLR beginners and those who need a refresher. The course is presented in logical segments that build user capability. It is extremely affordable and delivers what's in the course advertising brief. The materials that Jo also provided are written in clear understandable terms and reinforced with pictures. Well done Jo ~ I have no issue in recommending this course to others."
"I really loved doing this class...it reignited my love of photography!"
