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!

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!

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.
