Recent reviews of Portrait Photography Class
- 5/5 from Steven Baker, attended Feb 2025: Holly was an outstanding teacher and could not have been more attentive. She meticulously calibrated her guidance to each of us and the class as a whole. Model Quay was brilliant, very patient with us novices and a great subject. First class job.
