Testimonials
“If I could give more stars to Zara, I would. She brought enthusiasm, great knowledge and patience to the course. I would love to do an intermediate course with her as I learnt so much beginner knowledge from her and the other members of the class.”
“Zara was great, no question was too silly.”
“The course leader, Zara, was incredibly patient with us, her knowledge is excellent and her ability to share that at a pace all of us could follow is superb.”
“It was great to learn the different functions of my camera. Until now I had only used the auto mode, so a huge thank you to Zara. She was always ready to rescue me when I called “help”. I especially enjoyed the excursion as the majority of the photos are taken in the day. However, it was interesting to learn about night photography, too.”
