I had a great afternoon with Dan who clearly knows his camera’s and photography. Dan was able to make some of the complexities of digital photography manageable.

This was an amazing workshop for photography beginners. Dan was great at clearly explaining how to use shutter speed, aperture and ISO and I left with a good understanding of how to control exposure and take great photos! I would definitely recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed the photography class with Dan! All of us in the group were pretty much beginners so Dan was able to adapt the class to teach us all the basics that are integral for getting to know how to work your camera! I now feel much more confident about switching my camera to manual mode and changing the settings to get the best shot! Dan was really friendly and great at explaining and had loads of great analogies to help us remember! Will definitely be attending another photography course with Dan in the future!

Dan was great, the camera functions were very well explained and he is a fun guy, I’m liking forward to getting to know my camera properly now and will return when he does a stage 2 workshop in the future! If it’s cold wrap up warm as it’s in the market which is basically outdoors. Recommended.

I've tried to understand the settings on my camera too many times in the past and always got very confused so I end up using my DSLR on automatic. Dan made it all very clear and simple and used such great analogies that I can finally be more confident with the manual settings of my camera. Learning about the creative options I have has also gotten me really excited about using my camera more often. Thank you so much, it was a great workshop!

Thank you Dan for this amazing crash course in photography ! Dan is a professional photographer by training but also an incredible communicator who will make photography appear simple and intuitive, as it should be. Would definitely recommend for all those wanting to improve their shooting skills.

Dan was very helpful and very informative on using my cameras functions. He simplified understanding its settings in order to quickly make adjustments for great photos! Really enjoyed the workshop and would definitely recommend!

Dan was brilliant - he couldn't have been more patient or friendly. I ridiculously had to learn to use my new camera in one afternoon in advance of an unexpected trip (and I'm not a natural at this stuff) yet Dan easily met the challenge. He made the complex very simple and was wonderfully enthusiastic. Highly recommend.

Great session, Dan takes his time to explain things and you don't feel rushed at all during the workshop. I left the workshop feeling more confident in using my camera, would recommend

Dan was a great teacher. He was patient and tailor made our class according to my personal needs and what I wanted to learn. An enjoyable and thorough crash course on photography!

Dan was a great instructor with lots of energy and passion to make our digital photography learning session awesome. he had great tips and tricks and analogies to help my wife and I learn how to better our photography. We highly recommend Dan for improving your understanding and practical photography skills!

If you don't know anything about photography, take this class. If you know about photography but want to get better, take this class. Not only is Dan an expert teacher from whom to learn, but he also tailors the class to each individual's ability and prior knowledge, so that you will one hundred percent leave the class having learnt things. Through the use of clever, simple analogies, Dan channels his years of experience in the industry into a comprehensive and interesting class that's aided by his down-to-earth and likeable nature. Take this class - you won't be disappointed, and you *will* have a good time!

An amazing workshop. Dan was such an amazing teacher, he was patient and used great analogies to help me understand all the different terms which are normally hard to digest. Very recommended!
