Enjoyable photography lesson

Pen 21 January 2024

Thanks Alfonso, for a fun and educational photography lesson and walk around the historic Rocks area of Sydney. It was great to learn about the manual settings of my camera and practice some of the new skills throughout the workshop.

Informative and Fun

Cheryl 17 December 2022

Alfonso led our small group on a fun and really informative photography class walking through The Rocks area of Sydney. Lots of helpful info and I feel I gained enough knowledge to stop using the "auto" function! Will be booking more sessions with Alfonso.

Making the most of your camera's functions!

I have only ever used my phone or a basic camera to take photos. Recently I decided to upgrade and get a camera with more functions. Alfonso workshop is awesome. I learnt so much and how to get more out of my camera. I cannot wait to take some great photos with what I learnt from Alfonso. Thank you Alfonso.

Exactly what I needed to get off auto!

If you are like me and have only ever used the 'auto' selection on your digital camera then this is course is for you!! This introductory course is informative and practical, with plenty of opportunity to put your new knowledge into practice during.Alphonso was a very good instructor and made those with 'no knowledge' of photography feel very comfortable.

Excellent

Cristina 27 September 2020

Great experience with a small group of people, which was great for the workshop. It's 100% hands on, testing different techniques in real time - even if you don't have a lot of photography experience. Thank you, Alfonso!

Definitely recommend
