Recent reviews of Smartphone Photography Class: Portsmouth

  • 5/5 from Poppy Cunningham, attended Apr 2026: Lin was so amazing!! I booked the course for my teenage and pre-teen nephews and niece. Lin was the absoloute perfect person to get them engaged and interested. We all loved how Lin helped us find beautiful things to picture in the most urban areas. For example everyones favourite part was photographing tiny flowers at the base of a public bin, and rust on a fence - Lin inspired us all. Lin was so accomodating to our needs as one of my nephews struggles with anxiety, she was just a natural at engaging him but also being concious of his needs. Lin will never know how much it meant to our family how well the day went in that respect. A huge positive step for us. We all went away with new skills and cant wait to get out to test them. Thank you!!!!
