“Michelle provided a thorough overview of photography and the use of light. The short course was an excellent introduction to understand your camera and learn how to take better pictures. She was able to provide high quality instruction with a small group of students. I really enjoyed how she was able to provide guidance to all students in a manner that was appropriate, knowledgeable and professional. A lot of material was covered in the short time frame and everything was backed up with notes and practice. Great course and I highly recommend it!”

“This is the most useful workshop that I have ever attended. I’ve taken photography class at school for 2~3 years, but I never really learned the skill. Michelle taught me more than my teacher did!! Highly recommend everyone to attend her workshop.”

“Michelles’ course was very informative and helped me tie a lot of concepts together. The course also introduced me to a lot of new ideas, concepts and practices. Overall the course was very well planned and instructed.”

“Michelle is able to explain abstract concept with simple terms and concrete examples. After the class, I have reinforced some basic photography concepts and have also learned new techniques. This course is definitely a great start for beginners.”

“This class was an excellent introduction into the world of photography. Michelle thoroughly outlined various techniques in photography and has given me a great base to work with for future classes I will take.”

“Michelle’s workshop is a great starting point in learning more about photography and your camera.”

“Michelle’s class was small, which provided ample time for questions and detailed explanations. Also her students ranged from absolute beginner to someone with a bit of professional photography background. Michelle is able to tailor her approach and her delivery of the information in a way that is neither too basic for those with some experience already but at the same time also not too difficult for those who might not have knowledge of all the terminology or the basics of manual photography. This is a skill that is very important in classes that do not have a target audience.”

“Thanks again for the lessons I really learned a lot from your lessons about photography that I never knew before and I’m sure now that I want to do something with photography either part time or full time depending on how things go for me.”

“Michelle was an excellent teacher who explained the theories and practicum in details. Not only was she able to understand the strengths and interests of each student, she was also capable of coaching us photograph pictures in a variety of styles.”

“The course delivered fundamental photo shooting skills in a clear and understandable way. I am now taking much clearer, meaningful and informative photos, and have now developed the desire to go on photo-shooting excursions during my leisure. It is definitely an enjoyable and rewarding course.”

Happy New Year dear readers and fans!
