Recent reviews of Smartphone Photography Workshop - Maritime Greenwich

  • 4/5 from Somaya Khan, attended May 2026: Really good session with Mike, with some great tips about framing, camera placement and editing.
  • 5/5 from Javier de Frutos, attended Jan 2026: The photography class with Mike was really good. He is very good at explaining the different tricks to take and edit good pictures. We went walking through Greenwich, showing us how to use angles, zoom, and other options in the phone to create cool pictures.
  • 5/5 from Modupe Lawal, attended Jun 2025: Mike was amazing- very professional and clearly passionate about his work. He went above and beyond; even staying over time to make sure I fully understood the concept. I learned how to take photos of buildings, objects and personal shots from creative angles using the background to show context. What I enjoyed most was editing the Photos using Snapseed, and I'm truly grateful for everything I've learned. Anonymous June 2025 Anonymous
