Giuseppe was a patient teacher, and happy to answer all our beginner questions! He clearly loves what he does and has a wealth of knowledge, which he was generous in sharing with us in this workshop.

Giuseppe delivered the course in a very engaging and professional way. The pace was good and questions were encouraged and answered. Thoroughly recommend!

I enjoyed the afternoon and learnt some good tips for Street photography

Giuseppe was a very accommodating teacher who I enjoyed meeting. The content of the course was limited - which was good. Otherwise there would be too much to take in. It was a shame Giuseppe's lap top battery ran out so we could not analyse the photos we took.

Very passionate and patient teacher!

Bruno explained very well the different options on the camera. He is a great teacher

It was a really great course and Bruno is teaching very well!

Bruno was fantastic! I’m very happy and inspired, can’t wait for the next lesson to come.

Bruno was a great instructor & the course was very enjoyable. I would recommend him to other budding Photographers

No indoor venue was allocated during the lessons which resulted in most of the day spent outside in 5 degrees with only a small section of the teaching in a loud and busy Pret a Manager. I was prepared for the practical part to take place outdoors but not the complete course.

I have applied a package of 4 courses but the classes are postponing many times due to insufficient students. It is difficult to arrange my time to fit in the ever changing class schedule.

I was "lucky" that the group was a reduced size (only 1 person), so I felt that Eleni had more time to spend with me. my experience was great but not sure how applicable it would be under other conditions. Many thanks to Eleni as she did a great job and was really helpful!

Bruno was great! Kept the instruction simple and clear and was very helpful if the practical side, explaining what was going well and how to make it better. 10/10.. I think the screen moved just as I went to click 10 so may have accidentally come up with a lower score than I meant to give.

Maurizio was great. He was super knowledgeable and able to share his understanding in a very easy for me to understand. He was great in the practical and encouraged us to think outside the box. Great chap!

Clear and concise teaching method. He hit the right level for the course and the students. As someone who has instructed adults professionally I found his style easy going and informative. I would add that some of the info graphs we were shown were extremely helpful and should be extended into the beginners course notes. I would also suggest that for the money the course should provide ready printed notes and note taking paper. The ability to further advertise the course to a wider audience through branded items is invaluable.

I enjoyed the course and learnt so many new techniques.. it has made me so much more enthusiastic about getting out with my camera.

The teacher was fantastic.

Brilliant experience. Bruno was really approachable and friendly. He gave a lot attention to each of us and answered all our queries. He had a great sense of humour too!

Fabulous class! Would highly recommend. It’s a shame that the other classes aren’t till December and not in ordered. The 3rd classes is on 7th and the 2nd part is on the 14th December. Otherwise , it’s a great mini course!

Maurizio is very good. The fact that he brings his computer and lets you see the pictures on a big screen adds a lot to the class.

Very good but the quarter for architecture erre not amazing

-/-

Another excellent class with lots of ideas on how to progress. Thank you

Very good class, thank you !

So much, so much better than classes 1

Informative and well presented

Eleni was fantastic and I learnt loads.

It was too much time to practice and reviewing the photos one by one. When I registered I expected more theory, explaining the different elements on more detail; not just a very, VERY high-level explanation; 75 minutes of practice and then 15 minutes individual review, and then waiting for 45 minutes for the others.

The class delivered exactly what I wanted and looking forward to my next. Just disappointed that I did not tag the second class on after my first one like some of the others. Look forward to the next.

Eleni was very nice and welcoming, I enjoyed the class . It would have been great if the group was smaller. Thank you

Great course, Eleni explained everything very well and was very encouraging.

Maurizio was a firm but fair and fun teacher. He was very clear in delivery and made sure we were all paying full attention and checked our results. I learn't lots in the sessions with him.

Lorena proposed to combined 2 courses of 3h into 1 private course of 3h due to several courses cancellation. Very much appreciated !

I have to say I am very disappointed with your school. I don't have anything against Maurizio, he is a very nice guy however he is not an architect photographer and I did not learn anything about architecture photography. Very unprofessional of you cancelling my initial Portrait course and bouncing back and forth and after booking a course that I didn't want to do in the 1st place you get a teacher who does a completely different genre of photography (photojournalist) to do an architecture photography course. I think this was an absolute waste of time and I could've spend my money and time with a different course. I would like my money back. I think you have a long way to go from organising your courses to finding qualified photographers to teach the course.

Great experience, Bruno is a brilliant teacher, I learned lots in a short period of time, thanks

Confusion at start as not clear where we were meeting - so inadvertently joined portrait class for a bit. Far too long talking about photo journalism and too little time spent taking pictures. No suitable facilities for review at the end of the exercise.

-/-

really enjoyable class and learnt a lot. Eleni was great and very much inspired me to pursue photography more!

Eleni was not only super knowledgeable but as an instructor she was able to make the content meaningful to each of us. She provided guidance and feedback throughout the entire day. I really enjoyed my day and feel much more confident as a beginning photographer thanks to Eleni.

Great experience, thank you very much!

Great course, learnt loads, hopefully I can exercise the information frequently to turn it into knowledge.

-/-

The course was great only being spoilt by the weather. However I am not convinced that using an open space at the South Bank is very professional

-/-

I did learn a lot but it was very unfortunate that the class was so large and the weather was so cold and grey. Also I had two classes following each other due to the limited scheduling available and it was a lot to take in mentally for the first time in one day. Eleni was well educated and a good teacher but due to not being able to photograph inside and large groups I did not feel I gained the most I could from the class.

Not informed of course location so wasn't able to attend. Maurizio was very friendly but the central adminstration was the issue.

I was pleasantly surprised that we didn’t just sit but also got a chance to put things into a practice and get direction how we could improve e our photos

-/-

The course was good but using a public place for the technical training was not the best way of learning. Getting a place to listen after lunch and at the end was not great

It was great, I understand my camera a bit better, looking forward to the rest of the sessions

-/-

Excellent day. Balanced critique well presented.

The introductory class was good, Maurizio is very knowledgeable and I now know how to use some of my camera settings. However, I was expecting a bit more from the Photo Academy: the class took place in a busy coffee place - I was surprised that for the price paid, the photo academy wasn't able to provide a class/private space with a screen/board where the teacher could take us through the materials. Rather, the teacher had to go through the materials using his small laptop screen while we gathered close to it (it was impossible to read the materials properly). The photo academy could have also printed copies of the booklet for us to follow the class and take notes. It just didn't feel like an "academy", but like an informal class with a photographer. If that's the idea behind the photo academy, then perhaps it could be better explained in the website to manage expectations.

Margaux was friendly and gave me lots of useful tips. I enjoyed the class very much.

Elenor was a great teacher for beginners as she used very simple technical terms and was ready to answer to everyone’s questions. She was patient and very hands on with every student. I would attend another class of hers

It was a very nice experience. Maurizio was very nice and he touched us many professional tips I have never thought about. I would hight recommend him and I hope to have him as a tutor for further classes.

We were only 2 participants, so was difficult to model for everyone.

-/-

elena was an attentive tutor and she helped me to understand basic principles. she was encouraging.

Eleni was very nice, patient and professional. A very good day spent learning about my camera

Overall discovered a lot about my camera through this lessons. Looking forward to the next one !

I had a course with Christopher St John, not Christopher Schild.... But nevertheless the course was very good

Bruno was great in his teachings, very well informative and really supportive! I would highly recommend him, and would love for him to teach me again on the next occasion.

It was great, the choice of location couldn't be better. The instructor successfully understood my expectations and needs and was able to deliver exactly that.

Bruno delivered the content exactly as we needed. He provided theoretical concepts using his camera and visuals and then allowed us to test what was taught. He was patient, friendly and knew his craft. Thank you Bruno.

Group was a little large, received less than a minute of 1 on 1 time with teacher.

Superb experience. I discovered mistakes i’ve Been making for years.

Really enjoyed the course. Maurizio was amazing - approachable, knowledgeable and nice guy

I had a very productive day with Bruno, he is very supportive and in detail. I discovered a lot of functions with Bruno's supervision. i would highly recommend Bruno to anyone, and hopefully my next class is with him. Xx

Exactly what I wanted - a tailored session which had been carefully thought out and delivered according to my needs.

I am really not satisfied with this course. I can accept that neither computers or software are provided, but the fact that there is no private venue is not excusable for this price. We spent 20-30 minutes looking for a table and a power outlet in a public place, that should really not happen. Any other photography or software course I’ve taken had at least a room booked. The course itself was kind of ok - Maurizio is a nice guy, but 5 hours were certainly not needed to cover the 2-3 areas we discussed. The curriculum needs to be better structured and planned, as it stands currently it’s just a bad use of time.

Bruno was very friendley, approachable, obviously knowledgeable and it was great that we could cater the course for exactly what was required for our business. cannot recomend Bruno enough 5*

the size of the group was perfect and the practice time was great.

The photographer I was with, Maurizio Martorana, was incredibly helpful, he was very enthusiastic and easy to talk to and gave great advice, I can now say, that because of him and his directions I can use my camera confidently (in manual mode).

-/-

Maurizio is amazing! I have learnt and achieved a few basics and tricks due to his informative teachings. I hope he is on my next class again!

-/-

Margaux was a very friendly and clearly experienced photographer. She made the class very fun and i learnt a lot. Thanks:)

I didn't realize how little I knew about my camera until I took this course. :-) Thanks for the great guidance!
