“Thank you very much for the fantastic course on Sunday. I found the presentation to be very well structured and informed, with different topics covered that I wouldn’t have thought of…..The dynamic was also relaxed yet to the point which I liked. I’d never tried street photography before and one of the things I was nervous about was photographing strangers, and your advice put me at ease and I will definitely be going out to try more. I travel rather a lot with my work, so will be taking my camera with me more." - Ashby
“Thanks for the course on Saturday! Megan and I found it a really inspiring day and we learned a lot. We particularly appreciated your passion for street photography and, as a result, both feel motivated to rekindle our own creativity and interest in taking pictures” - Jamie & Megan
