Recent reviews of Hastings Smartphone Photography Workshop

  • 5/5 from Lydia, attended Oct 2026: Great workshop with John. Friendly, informative and explained everything clearly. Having no idea about photography and used to just point, click and hope for the best, things now make more sense and am looking forward to putting new skills to use! Would thoroughly recommend.
