Recent reviews of Smartphone Photography Class: London Bridge

  • 5/5 from Charlie Lineham, attended Oct 2026: Great class, excellent teacher, practical clear tips and instructions with a good pace and balance of activities. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Helen Middleton, attended Oct 2026: I thoroughly enjoyed the Smartphone Photography course at London Bridge and would highly recommend it. Jet was a fantastic teacher: friendly, patient and clearly passionate about photography. Although there were around 10 people in the group, she still made time to give everyone individual guidance and feedback. The course covered everything from setting up your iPhone camera for the best results to simple techniques for taking more creative and interesting photos. Jet also introduced us to a brilliant free editing app that made photo editing much easier than I expected. I came away with loads of practical tips and a much better understanding of how to get the most from my phone camera. I learnt so much in just one day and left feeling inspired to try new ideas with my photography. A great course for beginners and anyone wanting to improve their smartphone photography skills.
  • 5/5 from Sarah J Salway, attended Oct 2026: This was brilliant! We all learnt so much and had fun.

  • 5/5 from Carol, attended Jul 2026: Such a great smartphone photography class. Jet took us on a walk around the London and Tower Bridge areas demonstrating various ways of getting the very best out of our cameras. We learnt some very useful tips on how to get really great, artistic photos. We were also given access to an editing app that was relatively easy to navigate. All in all, this was a very pleasant and relaxing course, I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
  • 5/5 from Hollie Atkins-Creed, attended Jul 2026: What a wonderful class! The teacher was wonderful and so full of knowledge. As well as teaching us about smartphone photography she also gave us so many facts about the area of London we were in.

  • 5/5 from Anna Hale, attended Jan 2026: This was absolutely brilliant, and is SO highly recommended. Jet was a superb teacher and over our 2 hour walking class, helped me 'spot' great shots and then make the most of them with my Smartphone. I could not believe the photos that I had taken when we sat down over a coffee for the editing part of the session! Very cool and so professional looking. Thank you Jet - I'd love to build on what I learnt today in a further workshop with you.

  • 5/5 from Russel Ahchoon, attended Oct 2025: Had such a great time today – it was fun and definitely lived up to what I was hoping for. I’ve started to build a base for understanding snaps, photos, and photography, and the way the class was planned with different activities kept it interesting. Best part was being able to head out the same night and actually try out the techniques (and play around with editing) – honestly a bit addictive! Can’t wait for the next course. Thanks again!

  • 5/5 from Ross Raftery, attended Jul 2025: We had a fantastic experience on Jet's photography tour with clients and colleagues! She was knowledge and flexible to make sure that the route worked well for us. Jet shared plenty of useful tips and tricks along the way - with all of us coming away with better shots and more confidence behind the camera. The tour was well-organised, relax and a great way to explore London Bridge from a different perspective. We would highly recommend it!
  • 5/5 from Gary Essam, attended Jun 2025: Wow, what a wonderful course! All around the London Bridge and Tower Bridge area alongside the River Thames learning how to use many of those hidden features of that mobile phone I’ve hidden in my pocket for so many years. As a SLR then DSLR body and lens hobby photographer for many years all of a sudden I could see the relationship of the iPhone features to the aspects I was used to. Now, with confidence, I can approach a view and start to compose that shot in my mind and it take form on the screen of my phone. I’ve still much to learn but thank you so much for the experience - so, so, so worthwhile!
  • 5/5 from Anjana Fernando, attended Jun 2025: Brilliant class. Highly recommend for those who want to learn how to make the most out of your smartphone camera. Jeanette’s teaching style, made it easy to follow instructions and replicate great shots.
  • 5/5 from Mark Rainey, attended May 2025: What a great course and a fun afternoon! Jet is clearly passionate about helping people improve their smartphone photography, starting with how to set up your smartphone (no matter what type you have). I learnt how to properly use my phone as well as using windows, reflections and different angles to make photos more interesting. She takes the time to explain everything and demonstrates how to improve what could otherwise be an ordinary photograph - including how to edit them afterwards. Definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Paul Lisberg, attended May 2025: We had a great time with our teacher Jeanette - Jet Black Photography. This was a great class very insightful and fun at the same time - we would highly recommend this class to people who like taking photographs on their phones - I guess that it everyone.
  • 5/5 from Peter Rutland, attended May 2025: Brilliant. Really informative and enjoyable. I discovered features on my phone that I did not know hexisted. Highly recommended
  • 5/5 from Kathryn Roberts, attended Apr 2025: My friend and I went on the London Bridge Photo Safari. It was everything I hoped for and more! Jeanette was a brilliant teacher and the photos I took are incredible. I have already had compliments on FB and I have one as my Teams background at work! The weather was glorious which helped even more to create beautiful pictures. A different but great way to see a part of London with the bonus of skills to last a lifetime. Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 from Laura Broenniman, attended Feb 2025: What a fun and fabulous adventure and education for the eye! Jet's Smartphone photography class was valuable from the very first moment.

We really, really, really enjoyed our afternoon picture taking adventure. Thank you, Jet!

She pitched the course at the perfect level for the participants and provided us with a few fun props. We learnt basic and some more advanced smart phone skills. Jet was also very knowledgeable about the area and took us to some fabulous (hidden) spots to try out the variety of different skills that we had learnt. And we ended up with a hot chocolate whilst learning some editing skills. I came away with a better understanding of my smart phone camera and some new ways to look at the world and take pictures.
  • 5/5 from Emma Evans, attended Oct 2024: This was a great course. Even though the be been taking photos on my iPhone for over a decade Jet showed me some very simple ways to improve my photos and how to look for where to take your photo.

  • 5/5 from Sandra Nwajiaku, attended Aug 2023: 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
  • 5/5 from Urvashi Roe, attended Jun 2023: Loved it. Great private class around St Katherines Dock. Absolutely hit our objective of learning to use the phone camera better. Picked up lots of tips on styling and composing as well as editing too. Absolutely brilliant.
  • 5/5 from Catherine Pinchen, attended May 2023: Great to look at a familiar area with different eyes. Really helpful tips for using my smartphone, being more creative and editing to produce the final image. And fun!
  • 5/5 from Melanie El-Abed, attended Feb 2023: 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.
