Workshop Testimonials
I did a private half day work shop with Michael on product photography. I learnt everything I needed to know right from basics to the more high tech complicated side (but still understandable). Definitely recommend, as he is an amazing photographer and a very good teacher who made it a Fun, interesting and a hands on learning experience. (Poppy Wilson - Photographer)
We invited Michael to do a lecture on Food Photography and it was an absolute pleasure! Michael shared his techniques and started with a practical session for members to watch and learn. He then provided our members with practical set ups for them to have a go and offered support throughout with lighting and settings. Our members thoroughly enjoyed the evening and learned a lot too- it is also worth mentioning that Michael has a great sense of humour which certainly added to the fun of the evening!
