What students say...

John course Digital SLR camera - digital and film based - Having turned up with zero knowledge of any aspect of photography on Saturday morning I feel as though I've learnt a huge amount in a very short space of time - it's been a fantastic course which has made me very keen to learn more. Thank you so much.

Charon one-to-one course The Digital SLR Camera and 5X4 film camera - I learned more in one day than during my three year degree course in fine art photography. Charon has completed her degree in Fine Art Photography at the Camberwell School of Arts in London - 2009.

Yasmin course Workshop Abroad - I have attended a number of courses at YM Photography and I have really enjoyed them immensely. Yoke is a very dedicated photography tutor and she is very attentive to her students' needs. After attending some of her weekend courses in London I also joined the photography trip to Greece in 2008 which was a wonderful experience.
Yasmin completed her Masters Degree in Documentary Filmmaking at Goldsmith University in London - 2010.

Claudette course Creative Portrait Photography My biggest realisation of portrait photography was how much work is behind a good photo.

Lino course Digital Photograph and Photoshop I did not realize how much would a one day course could change my view in photography... I went home with a different vision on things and place saround me. Maybe it changed my view in life as well... maybe I'll keep on chasing the light to have a better picture of life. Many thanks for your teaching.

Angela course Digital Photography and Photoshop. Neil is complaining that he hasn't seen me much since I did my course with you, as I am always on the PC enhancing my photos!! Thanks for the tip about the type of paper you use - my photos actually look halfway decent now!!

Jenny course the SLR Digital Camera. I definitely found doing the second course very valuable - solidified the technical teaching of the 1st. The practical part, going off on your own was very good - allows clear space to think and practice. Thanks v much. Lora course Digital Photography and Photoshop A huge thank you for teaching us so much, and so well, over the weekend. Both Dad and I are really inspired now and have a renewed passion for photography, which is fortunately matched with a some technical knowledge. I am quite literally seeing the world in a new light: noticing lines, shadows and colours where I didn't before and am itching to go and take photos of this 'new' world.

Jacqueline course Digital Photography & Photoshop
The teaching was very good & very helpful. Yoke was informative and always helpful. It was great to have questions answered even if they did not relate to our current subject! Thanks so much! The small classes allowed to have all of Yoke's attention.

Tony course Black & White Printing Excellent one-to-one, straight talking. Not too much technical stuff. Not over the head. Would advise anyone to attend.

Meredith course Creative Portrait Photography
Very good, clear, concise and easy to understand. Learnt a huge
amount and feel much more confident about taking portraits.
