Recent reviews of Manual Photography Workshop
- 5/5 from Barb Schmidt, attended Aug 2026: Robert was very knowledgeable and explained everything in simple terms. He gave us tasks and explained what he wanted and reviewed the results accordingly. I learnt a lot about shutter timing, ISO and aperture. I highly recommend this class.
- 5/5 from Carolina Liemola, attended Mar 2024: Robert was incredible! He was very patient and full of knowledge and extremely helpful with all of my “silly” questions. I came into the class as a beginner and now have a good understanding of the manual settings and feel confident to continue practicing my photography! Highly recommend.
- 5/5 from Alex Mills, attended Feb 2022: This workshop was amazing. Robert was fantastic at explaining things and helping me translate that into my photos. There are some concepts I've been trying to understand for years but today it finally clicked I had so much fun doing it! Learning was tailored to my particular camera too. Highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Trina Shelton, attended Aug 2021: Robert is a great teacher and was very patient. Really comfortable to use the manual functions on my camera now and excited to keep experimenting and learning :) Learned a lot- and got to explore our city on a gorgeous sunny winter day. 10 stars!
- 5/5 from Petra Trapp, attended May 2021: I really enjoyed the class, I did learn a lot and the teacher explained everything to our non professional understanding and was very patient! Nothing was to much to ask. I'd definitely recommend the class!
- 5/5 from Tiziana Mendola, attended May 2021: Robert Filippi was great, very patient, answering very clearly to every questions we asked, very knowledgeable, took many photos to practice the theory in different parts of Brisbane CBD and over the river. This course really helped me understand the basic for taking photos manually.
