I have just completed the 8 week beginners program at Sydney Photographic Workshops. It was excellent program running through the fundamentals of digital photography and setting you up to take the next steps in trying out your creative style. Glenn, the tutor was fantastic and really experienced and passionate about photography – sharing his insights and experience. The weekly format also enabled you to take away your new skills and practice and try them out, come back and learn more. I feel that the course has enabled me to use my digital camera to its fullest and to start to use those skills to become a better photographer. I will be doing other courses with Sydney Photographic Workshops to keep building those skills.
A fantastic course. Daniel’s expertise and teaching ability coupled with his love of photography made this a very special course.
I did the beginners 8 week course, and learned so much. This course is great value, and the lessons are set out so you really get the most out of it, a bit of theory to start off then you get time to practice. John was a fantastic teacher whose passion really showed through, he was always quick to help and showed me how to use my camera. I feel like I got a lot out of the course and have a really good base for using my camera in manual mode. Thanks guys for running such a great course
