What our customers are saying

Feedback from our 2008 workshops:

Hi Dean,
My friends and I completed a Capturing Joy course with you in November and we all really enjoyed it.
I have just entered a photography contest with the Sunday Mail - I sent in a photo of my boys that I took the day after attending your course (some practice shots). The Sunday Mail telephoned me yesterday to say they are going to publish it in the paper this Sunday! He said it was a great photo!
So, thanks to you!
Thanks again, and Merry Xmas to you and your family!

Hi Dean,

Thanks for a most enjoyable Saturday morning workshop. For me, it took the intimidation away from my camera and put some fun back into the process. I am really looking forward to learning more on your Landscape course. Thanks again.

Regards,

Hi Dean,
I really enjoyed the Capturing Joy workshop. I had so much fun! I came home and put to practice all the things I had learnt on the course and was able to take some brilliant shots of my son. The handy tip sheet and book was really useful and a great resource.
Thanks Dean, you have a lovely warm nature and made me feel comfortable straight away, I felt safe to ask lots of questions. It was great and now I want to buy that SLR camera and book in for a few more courses.
Cheers,
Rachel Ryan

Hi Dean
Would just like to say again how great the course was. I definitely got a lot out of it and now know a lot more about my camera. I will be thoroughly recommending you to all and sundry.
Thanks heaps

Hi Dean
I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the course you ran on Sunday morning... I took some great photo’s of my three grandchildren (practising your tips) straight after I left the course. I love the black and white, and my daughter is really thrilled with these photos. I’m really looking forward to the Landscape course.
Thanks again.

Dear Dean,
We’d just like to take the opportunity to thank you for the course on Saturday. It was fantastic – just what we needed to build our confidence. Chris is very keen to do the landscape course and I would like to as well.

... thanks again

To Dean,
I just wanted to thank you again for your informative course today.
I came home buzzing with information, that seems so simple yet changes so much about what you do in everyday photography. Your information regarding light was incredibly helpful and probably the most informative for myself... I can't thank you enough...

Thanks so much, and have a great week

Dean,

The information and tricks that you discussed with us were fabulous and I actually came away thinking "why didn't I think of that beforehand..."

Thank you again, and I am now very keen to follow on and do the landscape course, so will hopefully see you again very soon.

Big Thanks

Hi Dean,

Thanks for a fantastic day last Sunday! I learnt so much from you & I came home that day & got your little cheat cards... & played with my camera for another 4 hours! I have a new passion for photos again! I really feel that I have learnt so much & am looking forward to using my camera next time I'm with people to capture their joy. I'll be looking to do the Travel and Landscape course soon.

Cheers,

Hi Dean.
Just wanted to say thanks again for the course on Saturday. It's made a big difference to me, an aspiring photographer. Sharon and I got a lot out of it. Your tips inspired me to go home and spend the rest of the weekend going through old photos to chop them up and make them look better...
Thanks again.

Hi Dean,

Thank you for the course on Saturday. I had a great time... it was fun and informative without being overwhelming. I am already able to put the tips in place without having to spend a lot of time learning and memorising them. I am looking forward to the next course...

Best Regards,

Hi Dean,

... your course has had a huge impact on the composition of my photos.  I feel inspired to continue to improve my photography to better capture precious moments with my children.

I will continue to recommend your course to others....

Dear Dean,

I just wanted to say thank you very much for the course that I attended today. The information that I have gained is invaluable. For many years now I have wanted to learn how to take good photographs but always found the jargon & technology overwhelming.

I now feel as though I can confidently experiment with my camera and enjoy taking photos...

Thanks again,

Feedback from our 2007 workshops:

“My ordinary photos now look great”

“I had previously attended a different weekend-long photo course. I learned more in 2 hours [with Take Better Photos] than in those 2 days"

“Easy to remember... great course... straight to the point... friendly and relaxed”

“Small groups, personal attention, knowledge of my camera, not systems overload... it was fun”

"Thoroughly enjoyable and practical"
