STUDENT FEEDBACK

Totally enjoyed it. Individual attention given, no matter what make of camera. I can't believe I now know my way around my Nikon. Thank you!

Jennifer Ciardi

I felt real value for money. My tutor was very helpful and very knowledgable. The company is lucky to have such a tutor. I am much more confident after the workshop.

Prem Sandhu

I really enjoyed the course, as I was able to build on the knowledge I already had acquired. For budding photographers, who are looking to up skill their knowledge, I would recommend this course

Peter Groch

The 4 hour course was excellent. The tutor was really good - conveyed everything in a direct and factual way that made it easily understood. A huge amount of information to take in, but he held everyone's attention throughout.

Euan Matheson

I learnt so much at SPW’s portrait photography workshop. Fantastic location. Great models. Daniel is generous in sharing his knowledge and with Wendy’s organisation and Mal’s assistance everything ran smoothly. Do this workshop if you want to take your photography to a new level.

Susan Astor-Smith

Amazing Experience, Workshop, hospitality and Tuition I really enjoy the Photographic Workshop with Daniel and Wendy they are incredible and although I’m an experienced photographer, I get new knowledge and skills. Highly recommend working with them.

Cesar Ocampo

Awesome day. I felt like the pace was fast enough to keep me interested and slow enough to keep me informed. Both Ben and Daniel are top notch pros full of wisdom, insight and a palatable arsenal of tips and tricks to help any photographer, at any stage of their learning. I had a blast and can definitely recommend!

Eren

I did a 1:1 session with Daniel it at was great – the perfect way to advance my knowledge, totally tailored to my needs and experience. I feel much more confident already, Daniel was very patient, knowledgeable, supportive and accessible 🙂

Harriet

The workshop on Lightroom was very informative. It was not only executed in a relaxed atmosphere but was also intense. Gained good feel of Lightroom. Frank Farrugia is a great teacher!

Nitin Saksena

I've been attending workshops with SPW for many years. What I've loved about the courses is the focus placed on both the creative and technical aspects. And there are equal amounts theory and application. Daniel generously shares his thinking, insights and expertise in detail and I always leave the day feeling inspired and that I've learnt something new.
