RE: Digital Photography: The Next Step
“I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and if I did not have other commitments, I would have enrolled for the second course. Stephanie certainly knew her subject and kept to the agenda points without rushing. I had certain expectations for the course, and not only did it deliver, but it also exceeded them. I certainly would recommend this course to anyone wishing to use their digital camera with more confidence.” Gordon Bird
“Fran and I are really enjoying the course, following on from the introductory course. Stephanie is super knowledgeable, patient when needed, and able to explain the concepts clearly. She has created a great, collaborative and supportive vibe in the classroom, so as well as learning, we’re having a blast. We feel we are taking things to the next level, and looking forward to tonight’s lesson.” Nick and Fran
“This is an excellent course. It has given me confidence to use my camera and introduced me to various photographic techniques. I would recommend it to anyone.” Joe Lally
“The photography course has been terrific. As an intermediate course, it has introduced me to things I had never tried and to other settings I didn’t know I could achieve. Stephanie has been brilliant at motivating all of us and keeping us busy so that the two-hour sessions rush past. A really useful course that I am thoroughly enjoying. Looking forward to the next course that she will be offering!” Thane Jensen
