Such a great morning spent with Jeanne. We learnt so much and truly enjoyed our time with her. She was knowledgeable, patient and happy to share so many tips and tricks. I would thoroughly recommend this experience

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.

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

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

The class was great. Jet is very kind and creative & will make all kinds of suggestions on how to find special motives + make your photos look distinctive. Mine have improved a lot. I've learned very much on this London photo safari and do wholeheartedly recommend it!

We had a fantastic time with Jeanette, and learned so much about making the most of our smartphone cameras. It was amazing to discover what our phones could do! 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!

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

This was a really good course - light and fun but genuinely useful. I learned a lot!

Kelly Blaney • Feb 2023

I cannot believe how much I learnt in two hours and all simple tips that will be easy to keep up. The pace of the class was perfect, the setting divine and the tutor - Jet - was fantastic. I loved this course and have recommended to many people since!

Thomas Zinn • Oct 2022

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

Bhagyata Kinger • Sep 2022

Jeanette was absolutely lovely - showed us a lot of great tips both for phone photography and editing. She was able to modify the class slightly for both of us - one an iPhone user and one with a Samsung S7. They were tricks that we will definitely keep in mind and have already started using - highly recommend for any smartphone photographers! Attaching one of the pictures from the class here.

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.
