  • 5/5 from Jude Shadbolt, attended Mar 2026: Got this as a gift, very easy to book. The photography workshop was brilliant, Julie was very helpful friendly and knowledgeable. Great day
  • 5/5 from Nicola Wordsworth, attended Sep 2024: Corporate bespoke iphone photography course in Margate. Sadly two of the team couldn't make it due to pesky covid but the other said it was a brilliant course! One experience iphone user learnt loads of new stuff and one beginner was really helped with some basic skills for composition and how to take some great photos. And the teacher is even going to do the course again for the poorly members of the team! So a win all round. Thanks Jet Black Squares – thoroughly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Cyrus Bulsara, attended 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.
