The setting was great in four different locations in the city centre. The leader was friendly and informative and she encouraged questions and made sure we all had feedback. The instructions were easy to follow and very useful.
The group size was perfect, just the four of us.
We learnt a lot of useful skills to improve our phone photography and have enjoyed using these skills already. Thanks

Philippa Malone • Aug 2023

Our teacher was very friendly and I enjoyed the couple of hours we had together.
I felt I learnt enough to use the camera on my phone more effectively and was pleased to know how to edit my shots.
The class was fun and informative.

Really great afternoon. Learned lots of handy tricks, some blew our minds. Daniel was very helpful and knowledgeable with a good sense of humour.

Ric Bierbaum • Jan 2023

Sarah was friendly, informative and very knowledgeable. She paced this session really well and provided us all with opportunities to have our questions answered. Thank you.

Sarah’s class was well planned and included interesting locations to focus on different aspects of photo composition. Sarah also showed the group different camera functions on their phones at each place, and we were able to experiment and implement them at our own pace. Exploring Snapseed as an editing app was done in a friendly group environment with plenty of time to experiment with its features.
This class was excellent value for money and catered to all levels of interest.

Gregorina Kalyvaas • Oct 2022

Really learned apt about rethinking how photos are taken and great knowledge provided in relation to photoshopping. Thankyou so much. Could have done more than only 2 hours.

Sarah did a great job! At each site she gave an introduction to a certain aspect that we should focus on. She took time for each person, was very supportive and helpful. She has a great sense of humour. I can highly recommend the course.

you could download the app and do this yourself. It was mostly walking around and taking photos of things and then playing with the app. Didn't learn much. No fed back from the photos taken after the 2nd place visited. would not recommend this as knew most of it and my daughter already knew this and was showing me how to use the app and things

Teacher's response

Appreciate your review despite being the first ever 3 stars (usually 4-5 stars). On the photo walk all my photo tutors are highly skilled at teaching. Feedback about your own photos is always available but not forced. Sorry to hear about your experience. Alfonso

Tania Harp • Mar 2021

Very informative, Daniel easy a fantastic teacher with a wealth of knowledge.
Would definitely recommend, thank you!

Sofia Bernardi • Feb 2021

It was amazing, I got 1 on 1 experience and focused on my challenging points. I learnt a lot and had so much fun!

Fiona Campbell • Jan 2021

Dan was very knowledgeable and encouraging to students of various levels.
I appreciated learning more about editing photos, something I’ve not done before. Dan give hints on lighting, contrast, shadowing and looking at things from a totally different perspective when framing photos. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it.
Unfortunately it was a very hot day and I was fading a bit by the end of it.
Nevertheless, very, very worthwhile.
I edited the photo below and like the table tops which are like stepping stones, leading to who knows where.
Thanks Dan!

Vanita Miller • Nov 2020

Daniel was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. It was great being in a small group as you got plenty of one on one time. The areas we visited to take photos were great and I particularly enjoyed the botanical gardens. I really enjoyed learning about how to edit photos.
