Thank you for another great workshop. You guys rock. Warm regards
Julia Donney –
Had a great day…. learnt a lot. I never really thought that a Speedlite Flash could be so useful, as I always thought that studio lighting would be better suited. It was good to get back into photography and relearn the basics and to learn to create window lighting without a window!…. Thanks
Roman Wolczak –
The speedlite workshop was a real eye opener on how versatile they are. The day was run really well and great value, thank you.
Chris Butta –
This workshop was thorough and well constructed. The team was amazing and so accommodating. The models were professional and of industry standard. I had fun and learnt a lot. I would do it again tomorrow and the day after that…

Hi guys – Thanks for another great workshop. As always, Daniel was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, and Wendy could not be more hospitable. You guys run a great interactive and educational photo workshop.

The Speedlite Photography workshop was exactly what I needed… I had enrolled in a 12 week OTEN course which was cancelled the day before it commenced. I then googled and found this course which could be achieved in one full day which suited me perfectly. Daniel was an amazing facilitator who was very open with sharing his experience and tips. I learned so much and now looking forward to putting it into practice. We were very well looked after by Daniel, Chris and Wendy and it was a very personalised experience. I highly recommend SPW and am looking forward to going back to learn some more.

Just a quick note to say thank you for a great ‘hands on’ day of Speedlite photography. While it remains a huge learning curve for me, I really enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone and exploring the possibilities that flash offers, especially off the camera! The models were great and what a terrific location you have in your studio and the surrounding area. Thank you also for superb hospitality throughout the day.
Love your work

Another great day learning from Daniel.
Learned a lot more than just utilising speedlights – the whole day was intuitive from start to finish and very well organised. Was a great follow up to the portraiture session.
