Recent reviews of Vivid Sydney Photography Workshop

  • 5/5 from Yamei Li, attended Jun 2025: Got some really nice photos with the friendly and professional guidance from Scott, learnt some handy settings for night photography, enjoyed it!
  • 5/5 from Kirsten Locke, attended May 2025: I attended the VIVID photography workshop on Saturday night with Scott and was thoroughly impressed. Scott is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about photography, and it really showed in the way he guided us throughout the evening. He made sure everyone in the group felt supported—no matter their skill level or fitness level—and took the time to answer questions and help us individually as we moved between shooting locations. One thing I really appreciated was how accommodating he was. My husband tagged along (not as a participant), and Scott didn’t mind at all—in fact, he even had a friendly chat with him as we walked between spots. It created a really relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I learned a lot, captured some beautiful shots of VIVID, and I’ll definitely be joining more of Scott’s workshops in the future.
  • 5/5 from Manuela Crescenzi, attended Jun 2023: Great evening to snap Vivid Sydney! Scott was knowledgeable. It is a quick moving night but just perfect for some handy tips and great pictures. Thanks!
  • 5/5 from Shiba Tamrakar, attended May 2022: Great session. I was there just for hints and guidance on locations and ideas on what to shot, which I got perfectly. Personally, I feel the workshop was for beginners so I would like to see some advance level workshop. Scott is a good instructor. Attached one of the photo I clicked and edited in Snapseed. Haven’t got chance yet to work with raw files.
