Recent reviews of Private Smartphone Photography Workshop

  • 5/5 from Sharon, attended Aug 2026: I booked a smartphone photography experience with Jeanne as a birthday gift for my sister, and we both had such a lovely time. Jeanne was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. She was very open to our ideas and suggestions, while also giving us lots of great insight into what makes an interesting photograph and, importantly, how to actually achieve it. I learnt so much about my own phone camera. I discovered that some of my camera settings had been wrong all along, and that I wasn't making use of anywhere near the full range of tools and features available to me! Jeanne showed us how to get much more from our cameras and encouraged us to think differently about composition, angles and the kinds of shots we might normally walk straight past. I was also really impressed that, although Jeanne hadn't used Ware as a location for one of her classes before, she had taken the time to visit beforehand and scope out different locations and ideas for photographs. That extra effort really showed and made the experience feel very well thought out and personal. Jeanne really made the experience. We came away having had a genuinely lovely time together, but also feeling inspired to be more creative with our photography and much more confident about what our phone cameras can actually do. I would absolutely recommend Jeanne to anyone wanting to improve their smartphone photography — whether you're a complete beginner or, like me, you simply didn't realise how much your camera could actually do!
  • 5/5 from Julia Minott, attended Aug 2026: Amazing, brilliant, superb, informative, fun! So excited to test out our new skills! Thank you SO MUCH x
  • 5/5 from Fernando Bignotto, attended May 2026: The class was excellent, full of practical tips on how to best use all the phone photo functions and how to think about lighting and composition. Great introductory class!
  • 5/5 from Dalia, attended Dec 2023: Super nice and flexible. Communication was great. We had a nice walk where she gave us several tips to improve our photos, from setting up your phone camera correctly, to learning how to look for the right light/reflections. At the end she showed us how to slightly edit our photos as well for final touches! Great experience :D
  • 4/5 from Sarah Goodman, attended Nov 2022: The training gave us very good, practical tips on how to improve our mobile phone photography. The teacher was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to applying the training in practice!
  • 5/5 from Nabeel Khan, attended Oct 2022: Jet was a fantastic teacher! Lots of energy and very flexible to what my wife and I were interested in. We got lots of tips on how to be phone camera pros (quite a few we hadn't thought of) and how to go in afterwards to edit. Would recommend!
  • 5/5 from Emma Todman, attended Jun 2022: We had a private smartphone session with Jet. Her communication was fast and she was very punctual meeting at our chosen place. The whole arrangement was very easy to do. Jet was a lovely lady and we both learned lots of fantastic tips. She was easy going with a lot of patience and made us feel at ease. It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours mooching around London, learning how to use our smartphone cameras. Thank you Jet.
  • 5/5 from Lea Gauthier, attended May 2022: We’ve had the most amazing time with Jet! So informative and pleasant. I would recommend to everyone! Thank you Jet
  • 5/5 from Nigel Simon, attended Apr 2022: Jet was extremely friendly & personable and we learned a lot of new techniques in terms of both composing pictures and editing. Most people know so little about how to use their phones which are packed with features. Highly recommended!
