\"Superb! Comprehensive, practical and just the right mix of material. Essential for anyone wanting to take better pictures. The best course I have attended in the past 20 years.\"
“Exactly what I was after. Extremely informative and interactive. I learnt more in a day than I thought was possible- and I’ve already seen the ongoing results from my staff who did the course 3 years ago.”
“One of the most engaging and practical courses I’ve ever attended, a real inspiration. Great learning experience- well-honed course focused on the essentials of good photography, without jargon or fluff. Learnt heaps in a day, and thoroughly enjoyed it all. I expect to see an exponential improvement in my photography.”
“Excellent. I now understand technical aspects of photography that baffled me for years. Thank you! Lots of tools to go play with too. Michael is approachable and engaging, and it was all very interactive, would love to do another.”
“Possibly the best course I have been to in both relevance and application in 15 years. Michael was outstanding- clear, helpful and well-paced. And the workbook went straight into my camera bag. I learnt more in this course than I have from 8 books, 3 cameras and 16 years of photography.”
“Michael’s passion and enthusiasm were infectious, and he made it all easy to learn. I would recommend it to anyone. I’ll be consciously and creatively shooting now, instead of relying on chance. Now I’m in control of how my pictures turn out.”
“More, more, more! Covered everything I need to know to take a good picture, and all delivered in a clear, professional and friendly environment- and a lot of fun! Easy to see what I can achieve now with my photography. When’s the next course?”
