I went in with some basic knowledge of elements of design. I came out learning more than I thought I would - including Marco and portrait tips. Teacher was knowledgeable and shared a free editing app that made photography was tangible for newbies. Would recommend!

the teaching was excellent with good tips for better photos and introduction to an app to enhance the photos
Norm Crowley • Feb 2021
Tutor, Peter, presented a wealth of photography experience and knowledge to our small group of six that allowed group interaction and one to one advice (in a COVID safe way).
Discussion progressed through the basic (but often unknown) smartphone features, many of the 10 aspects of composition and then included many of the skills of enhancement to present a resultant image that would impress any Social Media user.
Further comments on control of ISO and exposure settings together with commentary on still life, abstract and landscapes, (in addition to the street portraits and architecture) would enhance the presentation.
A session outcome that has certainly changed my 'click and hope' photography to give me the awareness of a better 'click and presentation'
After only 3 hrs attached photos from MEL with additional personal photographs from with learnings from this day
