  1. Recently, I attended SPW’s Premium Portrait Photography Workshop. Daniel’s knowledge, shared willingly with the attendees, the dynamic location, the models on the day, Amelia and Janeeq, Wendy’s co-ordination of the event and also ensuring we were fed and watered, and Ben making sure the extra gear was present and operational, made the day an altogether excellent experience. I recommend this Workshop to anyone interested in portrait photography.

  2. Another great day with the team at SPW! Great location, excellent models and Daniels wonderful tuition made for a day to remember and some lovely photos to boot! I have been on several of these workshops and will be going on more. Do yourself a favour and book on one of these now!

  3. Wonderful day spent learning from Daniel the intricacies of Portrait photography. The day was made all the better it was practical and with able assistance of Wendy everyone in the group had ample time to practice.
    The locations and models ensured there was a variety of situations to practice in.
    By the end of the day, I definitely felt better prepared to take portraits and be prepared to look at aspects differently

  4. Today’s workshop far surpassed any expectations I had. I thank you for everything you lavished on us.

    Daniel, I found your insight so informative and revelatory. Thank you so much for being so friendly, so approachable and so careful with the way you had curated the material. You have excellent communication skills that isn’t short on passion. It made the workshop even more enjoyable.

    Wendy, you were a wonderful host, caring so much for our comfort and satisfaction. I enjoyed your direction and occasional checking that I had got things right. A big thank you to you as well.

  5. Dear Daniel, Wendy and Ben, Thank you again for a great workshop, I really enjoyed it and leant a lot. Hope to do another course soon.
