I would like to say thanks to you and Daniel for the classes and I have learnt alot from this workshop course. I look forward to attending future classes as I progress my photography skills.
Thanks very much to Daniel for his time in delivering the beginners photography course.The course is a great opportunity for those looking to understand the fundamentals of photography in a welcoming, well-paced, and engaging environment! Daniel has a wealth of knowledge to tap in to, and is always happy to answer your questions. Would highly recommend to anyone interested!
I had a fantastic time learning photography in a class with Daniel Linnet. The teaching was practical and I came away with a solid foundation for understanding the manual functions of my mirrorless camera. Daniel was very engaging, experienced and passionate which made a world of difference to keeping the class inspired and engaged. Highly recommend.
As my retirement goal was to take up photography & so I began but released quickly that I was a novice as I had no idea as to where to even begin. I decided then to undertake a course to assist me & soon found the The Sydney Photographic Workshops website & to my surprise it offered everything that I felt I needed to learn & so enrolled into the 8 week Beginners Workshop.
I found the beginners workshops were informative and Daniel was just fantastic in that he was able to go through at a steady pace each week with examples, all the basics of photography and challenged us to practice what he taught us. I found the encouragement & feedback provided by Daniel gave me the confidence to say, yes I can do this!
It was evident from the fist day that Daniel was an expert in the field of photography & his professionalism in the way he thought us the wealth of knowledge & experiences he has in photography was so reassuring to me & it was also lovely to be welcomed on arrival each week by Wendy & she was so helpful to any questions I had.
I can highly recommended the Beginners Workshop to any person who is interested in Photography, wheather your a novice like I was (or even if you have some experience) as you won’t be disappointed, but become so motivated to go out & take some photos!
I can’t thank Daniel enough in the way he showed me how photography can be so rewarding for anybody, be it as a professional or as a person just like me who does it as a new found hobby! 😀
Beginners Workshop was fantastic. Well-paced to ensure that a large amount of information was imparted whilst moving along at a good rate and keeping everyone moving along. The teachers are very clearly experts in photography – but what’s more their passion for teaching is very clear. Have no hesitation recommending.
