I would highly recommend this workshop. I had a very basic knowledge to begin with and I now feel much more confident with a camera and I am keen to continue to learn. Glenn was very patient and professional and I learnt so much more than expected.

Jessica Edwards • Feb 2020

I've had a DSLR for years and yet I've only ever shot on auto. Glenn introduced us to the camera's amazing (and endless!) capabilities in a thorough and informative 2 hour session.
As a beginner, there was a lot to take in but Glenn was patient and explained everything in a way that wasn't overwhelming. Highly recommended!

I had the Beginners Photography class with Glenn on the evening of 14th Nov 2019. The class was really well structured and Glenn was really thorough with the given content. I feel the photography theories were taught in very practical ways. Glenn is also a very chill person to talk to so it made the 2-hour one to one class very enjoyable. I have been practicing the techniques that I learnt from the class and would really love to attend further classes with Glenn in the future.

Was a raining cold day, but you didn’t notice as the workshop was informative and interesting. The technical side was explained very well and he was happy to go over anything that was not sinking in. Left with an enthusiasm for testing out my new found knowledge.

I had a great time with Glenn during my photography class in Sydney, he was so lovely to work with and incredibly patient with me throughout the entire time I spent with him. He also has a great sense of humour which goes a long way with me! He made me feel calm and relaxed and had no issue repeating things for me and was happy to explain bits and pieces in various ways so I could really understand and wrap my head around things. I had a four hour session learning both how to use my camera and a run through of how to use Adobe bridge and Lightroom to get the most out of my business. I will be booking in to see him again next time I'm in Sydney for sure. Thanks again, Glenn!

Regards, Hailey.

The class was excellent. I learnt how to better use my camera and he explains in detail the AV and TV functions

Great 1on1 session. Really helped me to consolidate my understanding of the manual modes of my camera and has given me the confidence to push my photography harder.

Thanks heaps Glenn

Glenn is a great theoretical and practical photographer. I had a 2 hour lesson where he helped me to understand my complex camera whose controls were previously overwhelming. I would recommend his considerable skills to anyone who wants to be a better photographer.

Annie Hurst • Feb 2019

I loved the course! Glenn was concise and easy to understand. He helped me to refresh old skills and learn a bunch of new tricks and techniques.
