Inès Lesieux Mar 2024


Had the best experience with Jeannette and would've never thought I would learn so much within a 2 hours stroll. I'm a content creator myself, and I've been using my phone for the past 6 years to create, but her insight and experience were so enriching. From little tips to life-changing perspectives on photography, I could not recommend it more. Also, it feels great to be around such a kind and devoted human being. Left as inspired as ever. Thank you for having me!

Natasha Mar 2024


Brilliant class! Thank you, Jet - the whole team really enjoyed their time with you. In the words of one of them - “you’re a miracle worker!”.

Cyrus Bulsara Mar 2024


Great afternoon with excellent teacher Julie Elmes in Margate. She had researched how best to use my phone and I learned that it could do more than I thought. Lots of great learning on composition and how to set up your shots. Ended with very useful editing tips. Highly recommended.

Sean Anderson Mar 2024


Bought this for my Wife’s Birthday so decided to join in! Gail was truly outstanding - learned more in the first five minutes that I couldn’t believe. Came away having really enjoyed the morning- absolutely fab!

Bettina Moltrecht Feb 2024


It was great fun and we learned lots. Have been taking amazing photos with my iPhone ever since. Would recommend.

Polly Morgans Feb 2024


This lesson was given to me by my children for my 60th birthday. I love taking photos but didn’t know how to use an iPhone camera to its full advantage. The lesson exceeded my expectations. Jet was a great teacher, she was kind and patient when I needed some extra help. She showed us how to take photos as well as how to use functions on the phone. I would absolutely recommend her and would do it again! Thank you

Stacey Feb 2024


I was expecting the class to be something fun and different but it exceeded all of my expectations. I learnt so much and came away with photographs I didn't even know I could take. Jet is such a fantastic teacher - so patient, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone (local or visiting) for an incredible day out in London. You will not believe what your simple smartphone can do when it comes to taking amazing photos.

Allison Best Feb 2024


Jet very friendly and despite being fairly savvy with my phone I still learnt some great tips/tricks which I look forward to putting into practice.

Definitely worthwhile even if you are not a novice.

David Jan 2024


The class was interesting and informative, with lots of personalised guidance throughout. The notes on how to use the app as well as reminders on techniques shared at the end are particularly useful too.

Caroline Jan 2024


I'm so impressed with the course! It's a pleasure looking through, and sharing, the photos I've taken today. Thank you

Dhawal Patel Jan 2024


A terrific day out with plenty of suggestions and ideas throughout. Explanations of how a specific perspective would function and in what situation. Followed by wonderful editing session where I learned so much about Snapseed

Had a great street photography class with Jeanette. Learnt some great tips & techniques and saw a big difference in the end result. Jeanette is a fantastic teacher, would highly recommend this class.

Jackie Tapper Jan 2024


Gail was friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. She showed us a totally different perspective on how to take photos, using our existing phones but getting so much more from them. We thoroughly enjoyed this course with her, in particular the idea of using reflective surfaces and different angles.

Annalisa Fiorentino Jan 2024


Excellent, knowledgeable teacher and great location. Don’t recognise my own photos! Would definitely recommend.

Elena Borreani Jan 2024


I went to this workshop with my teenage daughter. We both really liked it and highly recommend it! The teacher is knowledgeable and patient. We learned a lot of tricks to take better photos and editing them. We are already thinking to book another workshop!

Chrisi Baetz Jan 2024


It was fantastic! Jet is so friendly, warm and knowledgeable. She provides great tips and makes it really interesting. She went above and beyond for us. My partner has walking difficulties and Jet offered a private session so that we could go at our own pace. No-one else has been so understanding and supportive. We greatly appreciate it and would recommend Jet immediately to everyone. We had a lovely time!

Verena Dec 2023


We went for our team's Christmas social and all really enjoyed the class. Very simple tips and tricks how to get the most out of your phone camera. We were all blown away by our own photography. I would highly recommend!

Jennifer Ryan Dec 2023


Jet is fantastic! The class was everything we hoped it would (except the icy London temperature). We learned some great tips and tricks that we will absolutely use going forward. I definitely recommend!

Susie Huntington Dec 2023


Our teacher was fab. She was very amenable to meeting in a slightly different location at KingsX than was first suggested. I organised this workshop for our work team - a mixed group of science and data nerds, hoping it would spark some joy, encourage our creativity but at the same time not put anyone off who might think they aren't very 'creative'. It certainly met those expectations. Everyone in our team really enjoyed the experience. I heard phrases like "wow, that's a real game changer" and we've since been sharing our photos of KingsX to impress each other with our new skills and know how. Even the office dog, who is very photogenic, enjoyed the experience and all the attention. I would highly recommend.

Heather Sanderson Dec 2023


Jeanette was fabulous, so knowledgeable and I learnt so much. Overall it was a brilliant experience and I can’t wait to practise all the new things iv learnt

Dalia 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

Julia Rychlicka Dec 2023


It was so nice to be a part of a Christmas Smartphone Photography workshop. Me and my daughter had a lovely time with Tim. He showed as tricks and help as set up our phones and give as some recommendations on apps which we could use. We had a tour around Covent Garden where we shoot beautiful pictures. Tim was very professional and patient. We have learn a lot, now we will shoot pro pictures on our Japanese adventure. Highly recommend

Aubrey Nov 2023


By coincidence had a one on one session with Jet. Really helpful, insightful and some great tips and tricks. My holiday snaps will look better than ever now!

Jessica Nastasi Nov 2023


What an incredible day spent with Jet. She was knowledgeable, fun, and adapted her session to our needs. We hope to work with her again soon. I wish we did this a long time ago Book her, you won’t regret it.

Mimi Lau Oct 2023


Tim is a very nice guide and professional photographer, he taught us to see things differently so we can take unusual photos. He made good use of puddle and mirror to take reflection photos, he brought us to different signature places in Covent Garden, So we are like touring and learning photo taking. Definitely recommend this workshop.

Gillian Renouf Oct 2023


Excellent session, even though the heavens opened it did not detract from our experience at all. Jet was amazing - knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and really upbeat. The whole group had a very enjoyable session and all learned a great amount.

Ching Chrysanthou Oct 2023


It was a fun session, Jet made it interesting yet informative. Learnt so much and great timing before I head off to my holidays! Thank you

Jet is very warm and welcoming - and answered all my newbie questions. We got some great, immediately-useable advice and the quality of our pics has improved significantly. It's turned me from someone who rarely takes pics (as I don't think I take very good ones) to someone who's looking to apply what they've learned knowing they can take _better_ pics.

Given your phone is almost-always on you, I highly recommend everyone does this. Worst-case scenario - you'll have some good company while checking out a vibrant part of London. Almost-certain cenario - you'll do that and come away with several tweaks that will immiedately up your photography game.

Thanks, Jet! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ruth Ashworth Oct 2023


Really enjoyed the photography session today. I didn’t quite know what to expect.l as I haven’t done anything like this before. Came away with Some great tips and it was pitched perfectly. Jack was patient with my questions. I learnt a lot in that short time and look forward to applying my new knowledge!

June Anderson Sep 2023

Dianne van Esch Sep 2023


Jet knows what she is doing. Beside learning a lot about how to make the best photograph with your phone, she is also an amazing tour guide and shows you the most amazing hidden beauties in the city. I could highly recommend it!

This class was brilliant! we would highly recommend this to everyone. Jeanette taught us how to use some great features on our phones as well as how to edit them afterwards. Thanks again for a great class!

Glynis Beazley Aug 2023


Jet was brilliant. She was approachable and enabling. She gave us confidence and was a fount of knowledge. I particularly liked the way she taught us to see things differently, to tell our story through photographs. This will take a lifetime to master but I've started my journey already.

Maja Hecimovic Aug 2023


I enjoyed this class and learned some new tips and tricks when taling photos with my mobile phone.

Anonymised ClassBento student Aug 2023


Tim was a great teacher! We wandered around some beautiful parts of Richmond that we’d not seen before, and he taught us some great tips and info about the phone camera and about how to take more interesting photos. Thanks v much!

Lydie Janin Aug 2023


Tim was amazing. He gave me wonderful tips to improve my photos both while taking the shot (using the the angle and making sure the environment setting is optimal) and after with the editing. I have also discovered new parts of Covent Garden which I had no idea existed!

I highly recommend him! Thanks a lot

Lydie

Nigel Doe Aug 2023


Even though I’m not a novice, I learned a lot from this morning’s smartphone workshop with Tim in Windsor! Not just about my phone’s capabilities but techniques, composition and editing which Tim explained clearly. Varied photo opportunities with not too much walking in between. A fun morning! Highly recommended.

Smartphone Photography Workshop - Windsor review by Nigel Doe - Slough

Julie Babai Aug 2023


Jeanette was a welcoming tutor, putting us all at ease and ready to learn. I think the knowledge gained in the first 10 minutes introducing just some of the iPhone camera features made it feel value for money but by the end of our 2 hours we were amazed, so lucky we will be getting notes to remind us of everything learnt. Don’t hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed

Jet,( teacher) was patient and enthusiastic and made it all really simple and straightfoward. Encourage me to think about he shots took, to be curious and see scenes, even the ordinary as potentially different , magical in a way.
The venue was excellent - actually a private session cos just me. Great as I had not been past London Bdg to Shad Thames for a while .
I was so amazed by the close camera work using a particular lens for the phone , the ability to focus , create spectacular images. Textures, taking pics with the phone upside down. :-) :-)

And then she showed me the ability to edit said pics using 'Snapfeed' app - I'd been doing it all wrong - #mindblown, I have now graduated from a point and shoot person to using my phone to take pics in a completely different more effective way

Also really appreciate the superhelpful notes that were sent.
Total recommend the session

Smartphone Photography Class: London Bridge review by Sandra Nwajiaku - London

Tammy Seymour Aug 2023


We were pleasantly surprised to find that Gail was hosting just myself and my husband on this workshop, having had our booking elsewhere cancelled due to lack of interest. Gail was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a lovely tour of Banbury, got to grips with the functions of our phones and consolidated it all while editing our pics over a nice cuppa. Lovely couple of hours spent learning something new, that we’re confident we can build on, with support from Gail if we need it. All in all, a great workshop, we would highly recommend it.

Dom Owebsy Jul 2023


Tim was a lovely teacher - really nice, very patient, informative and helpful.
The course was based around 2 things - how to use the iPhone photo app better - which enabled us to learn some really useful tips to take interesting photos and he also showed us some fun editing tricks. A good afternoon!

Carole. Truet Jul 2023


Lovely photo safari with Jeanette.
I had a lot to learn starting from the very start and she was at the same time professional and friendly in teaching me the basis and giving me plenty of tips. I definitely recommend this workshop and would myself do it again in the future as there is so much more Jeanette can teach me.
Thank you

Natalie Ainsworth Jul 2023


The course was great and Jet provided loads of helpful hints and tips. She was good fun so it was a very enjoyable afternoon. I know so much more than I thought I would now.

Photography class review by Eniko Szatmari - London

Laurie Stephens Jul 2023


Excellent experience - a real eye-opener in terms of both the use of the iPhone camera / photo apps and also how to identify and take more creative, interesting photographs. Gail was a great tutor - knowledgeable and personable, and knew the area well and was able to make the most of our time (even the eventual rain!).
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our morning and got so much from it - I would highly recommend this course to anyone who routinely uses their iPhone camera!

Brianne Evans Jul 2023


Really enjoyable course. The route was well planned, we learned a lot about how to use our iPhone cameras, and we got to enjoy a bit of central London. We would definitely do this again.

No matter what your skill level, you’ll learn something! Jeanette was enthusiastic and very flexible, happy to adjust the focus of the tour to suit us. This was a standout of our time in London - don’t hesitate to book this!

I absolutely loved this class and learned so much! Jet is an excellent teacher and clearly passionate about smartphone photography. She helped me set up my phone to get the best from it and then we went on a very interesting tour of Soho, China Town and Carnaby Street, stopping along the way to take different shots. She gave me so many tips on looking for different perspectives, setting up shots to tell a story, playing with camera angles and using the settings to get different effects. We ended up in a coffee shop where she taught me various ways to edit my photos and I'm so happy with the results. I can highly recommend this class and I'm already looking to schedule another with the same teacher.

Sehar Tariq Mar 2023


A really fun and interactive experience. My photos turned out great! Great way to learn how to make better use of your phone camera and discover a new part of town through a different lens (literally!)

Super informative without being overwhelming. Practical tips for framing photos as well as how to use my iPhone camera settings, editing on the phone and within an app. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Maria Alvarez Feb 2023


The teacher was incredibly friendly and full of energy. She gave us lots of great advice while we practised our photography skills and kept checking in to ensure we were doing okay. Her explanations were easy to follow and understand, and I could retain the information for future use.

The location of the course, Southbank, was perfect for learning different techniques, as it had a bit of everything. The material provided by the teacher after the lesson was really helpful and meant we didn't need to take notes.

I think this experience is great value for money, and I'd highly recommend it to friends and family.

Joe Hayman Feb 2023

Hi, we hugely enjoyed the festive walk with the smartphone! So many hand tips and ideas on how to improve photos and create really great new shots! Who ever knew that smartphones can do so much?! The teacher was super friendly and provided great tips for us at a perfect pace and the right level!
The walk was finished with a lovely drink in a pub nearby and a chat on editing!

We are already looking forward to another class! Thank you J&A

At the end she send us by email all the documentation of the training, well done

Nabeel Khan 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!

Amazing class. Even if you use your smart phone everyday to take pictures. There is always something on your camera which you might not have known about. This is what I learnt on the course and I had taken some amazing images. Thank you so much for this enjoyable experience.

Thomas Zinn Oct 2022


Was a very lovely experience and a nice chat about photography habits - can recommend it !

Chris Kelly Oct 2022


The class was great. Jet is a good teacher and Kings Cross provided opportunities fo all kinds of different things to be photographed. What we learnt was a few apparently quite simple rules and techniques. But they greatly improved our photographs. Jet kindly promised to follow up with some written material so that we do not forget what she taught us.

Alison Sep 2022


Jeanette was friendly and professional throughout the class. My sister and I went together, and we were delighted to be told on meeting Jeanette that our safari would be just for the two of us. We were given the option to do our safari in the City or Brick Lane, and we chose the latter. Within the first five minutes Jeanette had shown us things on our smartphones that we were unaware of, and showed us how to look at things in a different way. We learnt new techniques throughout the safari, using these new skills to create images we were really pleased with. The whole experience was fascinating and fun. I became totally absorbed learning how to control light, contrast, home in on detail, blurring and, afterwards, over coffee how to use an edit programme. Fantastic! Smartphone 'snaps' became images that were really interesting and creative. I would really recommend this class to anyone with a smartphone. Thank you, Jeanette.

Jet was fantastic! I didn’t expect to see such a difference in my smartphone photography skills after just one class, but Jet has made me a true believer. She taught us how to properly frame and take photos and adjust the lighting, and then how to edit them properly. 10/10 would recommend!

Jeanette was amazing and thorough with her explanations, and she was very attentive to all the details. It was so fun to walk around Brick Lane listening to all the small details she knew about the area and learning amazing photography tricks, never thought I can get this quality from my phone Camera. Highly recommend as a super fun activity with a friend or a partner

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.

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!

I absolutely loved this course. My husband bought it as a private gift for me, and it was such a lovely afternoon. My goal was to
Learn a few simply techniques on taking great photos of plated food, restaurant interiors and home cooked meals. We not
Only had a great meal and got to walk around Borough market, but also took some great photos and makes some nifty edits. Jeanette taught me some really nifty skills using Snapseed and Instagram and just the simple iPhone Camera on how to take great pictures. She was also very conscientious of time and teaching me as much as she could in the 2 hours we had available. She was also lovely company, very warm and friendly.
Overall, well worth the time and money, especially if you are a novice at food photography and editing.

Thank you so much. We are a group of friends in a team at work who chose this class for purely fun and learning to help our individual photography efforts. Really lovely, chilled session, easy to follow and very engaging. Loved seeing London which is familiar and learning some great ideas and tips for better photography. It's given me new inspiration for using my iPhone for even more creative results. Particularly liked the editing sessions. Thank you. Cliff

AwesomeI've got mad skills when it comes to amateur photography/filmmaking, but Jeanette Lendon taught me things that I've never even tried before. Jeanette was very polite and easy to talk to. It was a very pleasant 40+ minutesI will definitely be taking part in the Smartphone Photography At Home class more oftenVery informative and enjoyable. Jeanette is knowledgeable and definitely has skills! Awesome!

She’s really amazing and holds a lot of great talent. She also helped develop my knowledge on photography and I’ll definitely use her tips :)

Jeanette is a very knowledgable teacher
The South Bank location was great
We were able to use our own iPhones, which was a bonus
Jeanette not only taught how to take lovely photos but also how to retouch them
Would highly recommend the course and will be booking her again.

Hi Jet

All the group had such a fabulous time! Personally, I am so gutted that I couldn't make it in the end. You taught them all such valuable tricks when using their smartphones. They all loved following you on screen as you went around London showing them the different ways that they could use the camera on the phones and your infectious enthusiasm rubbed off on them all - they were all practising at home afterwards! Thank you for being such and enthusiastic and inspiring tutor.

We all enjoyed the tips and tricks given by Jet for taking better photos. Exactly what we were looking for and with the added bonus of touring Camden - a trip down memory lane. Jet was brilliant, really enthusiastic and very good at describing where to find features on our different phones. Would definitely recommend.
