Recent reviews of Night and Day Photography Course

  • 5/5 from Vipoo Srivilasa, attended Feb 2025: Luke was a wonderful teacher—very gentle and always happy to explain any questions we had. He’s very experienced and really understands where we’re coming from, knowing exactly what to teach us. The class was fun, and I enjoyed it a lot! That being said, if I were to take the class again, I’d prefer to do it separately—one class per day. There’s a lot of information to take in, and by the time the night class starts, I felt a bit overwhelmed, and my brain just cant remember what the leason were! For me, the night class was more fun than the day class because we got to experiment with different light sources. However, I think the daytime class is probably more useful for everyday life. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I learned so much!
  • 5/5 from Tracey Clark, attended Jan 2025: Luke was a fantastic teacher, very knowledgeable and easy going. The night session was AMAZING. Recommend the day session for early beginners but the night session for those who have some basic knowledge already.
  • 5/5 from Stefan Bode, attended May 2024: The class was great, and Luke is a fantastic teacher! He is very knowledgeable, explained everything really well, and picked some excellent locations to learn. I can highly recommend the class.
  • 5/5 from Triana, attended Sep 2023: I really enjoyed this course. Paul was very clear with his explanations and very patient answering all our questions. He has some very useful props for us to test different photo techniques and even posed as our model so we could take some portraits. He also took us to some really nice spots with views of the city that I didn’t know about, and we could take some really nice shots. I think it’s an amazing course for a beginner such as myself, and it’s full of information. I had tried some online photography courses in the past but then found myself overwhelmed when trying to take a photo on my own. This experience was exactly what I needed since Paul was right there as I practised to answer my questions and help me choose the correct settings. I definitely feel more confident now! Thanks Paul
  • 4/5 from Keerthi Prasad, attended May 2023: Paul was an excellent teacher. He was patient in answering all sorts of questions. Paid attention to the detail to explain the technique in a way one can understand easily.
