Recent reviews of Edinburgh Smartphone Photography Workshop

  • 5/5 from Joanne Harper, attended Oct 2026: Brilliant session with Chris today. Excellent knowledge of phone photography, and he explained exactly how to use all the camera features and tools really clearly. Loads of great advice, friendly and easy to learn from. I’ve learned so much in just one session.  
  • 5/5 from Norman Mackenzie, attended Sep 2026: I learned a lot. We started experimenting with shots. Photographic techniques and things about the apps I didn't know, and also editing over coffee at the end. The latter of limited use as the app was new to me and I do most if any editing on my PC with other tools. Also clip lenses. Overall, very useful and the tutor, Chris, was a good chap
  • 5/5 from Anthony Dimmer, attended Jun 2026: An excellent afternoon. Chris was very knowledgeable about photography and all aspects of the camera features in my phone. Is was wider and more in depth than I had expected. I really enjoyed it and it definitely encouraged me to look at the pictures I take in a different light.
