    Having been a keen photographer for some time, I held professional landscape photographers in awe bewildered by their outcomes. Getting close to those standards seemed unobtainable. I was given a one day course with Matt as a present. I had no idea what to expect, but was confident that at the end of the day I would be a better photographer, but suspected that the difference would be minimal - after all how much could I learn in just one day.
     
    Matt immediately assessed my photographic skills, and structured the day to my abilities. Fundamentals that I understood, but not fully appreciated, were explained and demonstrated. Within the first few minutes I became a better photographer, and the improvement continued. By the end of the day I was shooting landscapes at a standard that I thought I was beyond my capabilities. Very importantly I can now take a great photo in all sorts of conditions, no longer concerned that changing weather conditions will compromise my photographs.

    How much did I learn in one day? Well, far more than I ever anticipated. Take the plunge and do a course with Matt, you will not be disappointed, and enjoy the accolades from family and friends about your photographs.

    Hi Matt
    What a fabulous day, thank you so much for the overall basics and especially the inside tips at the beginning of the day / and it just got better as the day got longer… more details and more techniques. I have just had a look at the images I made today and already they are better than anything I have taken in the past...Thanks again for a great day of training. I wanted to learn how to operate my camera fully and take great photos and that's what I got from your course.

    Cheers, Rosie

    Thanks again for a great day.  I really feel much, much more confident with landscape photography and even enough to say that i feel that I have a good grasp of the techniques involved.  Your teaching style is very good and covers many aspects of landscape photography.  I learnt so much yet realise that there is a lot more to learn.  Your guidance and communication skills particularly lend to a positive learning experience.  In other feedback,  I thought the time spent at Ken Duncan's gallery was a good idea and has potential to spend time discussing the techniques used in the art / industry, pros and cons of various photos etc...
    Thanks heaps for your expertise and advice.
    regards
    Anthony
