  • 5/5 from Elisa Protheroe, attended Sep 2026: Really enjoyable, great instructor, and with a small class size, it was friendly and personal. The tips and guidance were fantastic, and I’ve already noticed an improvement in my photography. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to develop their skills and have a fun walking tour in London!
  • 5/5 from Nirosh Kumar Thambinayagam, attended Sep 2025: Attending Jet’s smartphone photography class was an amazing experience. The session was not only incredibly informative but also so much fun, filled with practical tips and creative insights that instantly elevated my skills. Jet has a gift for making complex ideas simple and inspiring, turning every lesson into an “aha” moment. What truly stood out was how the class changed the way I see the city itself. I no longer wander around taking pictures like a tourist, I now approach each scene with the eye of a photographer, noticing details, light, and perspectives I would have missed before. It was engaging, inspiring, and transformative. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jet’s class to anyone who wants to unlock the full potential of their smartphone camera and see the world through a more creative lens.
  • 5/5 from Justyna von der Heyden, attended Aug 2025: This is my second class with Jet and oh my god, it was mind-blowing! I didn't know my phone could do such good photos at night. I'm super excited for all my future photos, and it's definitely not my last class with Jet. Highly recommended!!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2024: I took Jet's nighttime/ low light photography class and it was great fun.
