COURSE TESTIMONIAL

Student, Sydney

I had a very enjoyable day and learnt a number of new skills despite having done sessions before with other photographers. I loved Lee’s emphasis on getting the capture right to minimise post-processing, for example I rediscovered filters, something I didn’t think was so relevant for digital photography. Lee’s system and explanation on getting the right exposure was also great. I 100% recommend getting tuition from Lee.

Stuart, Crows Nest

We thoroughly enjoyed the course and have immediately put into practice some of the new techniques we learnt!

Tim, Pymble

Lee has a wealth of experience and knowledge and this was clearly imparted throughout the session. He had answers to all the questions that we threw at him and laid back teaching style made it a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommended

Clare, Cameron Park

Thoroughly enjoyed the course, location and teaching from Lee to pursue a hobby in photography. Having had a baby a few weeks ago I can really work on happy snapping these precious times and having some nice pictures to look back on.

Cherelyn, Blaxland

I was able to go from being nervous to confident when using my new DSLR. Lee brings a wonderful, friendly, helpful and non judgement personality to what is a informative and knowledge based course. Thank you Lee.

Amanda, Kellyville Ridge

Thanks for the great day out Lee. I had only just purchased my camera so really we were starting from scratch. You made the class interactive and worked at our pace not your own. I have recommended you to friends and family already!

Henk, North Sydney

Lee brings an easy to learn experience to anyone who is new to their camera and wants to get more out of it. Each person’s ability, camera equipment and what they want to improve on are met. Even in group settings, Lee is able to move effortlessly to each individual’s requirements and achieve a valuable learning experience. Of course practise makes perfect but Lee’s examples and instructions are clear and easily recalled.

Alan, McMahons Point

I had reached a point with my camera where I wasn’t improving and was losing interest. Lee showed me how to use the full features of my camera which were previously being wasted. He has shown me that I can take my photography to the next level and start to enjoy it again. I would not hesitate in recommending Lee’s training courses to anyone of any ability. Great value fun day, Nice work!…thanks

Julie, Paddington

Lee delivered an informative course which was fun and easy to follow. It was delivered at just the right pace for someone who wants to learn the basics without getting too technical or like me, who has already completed a beginner course and wanted a practical refresher
