Workshop Testimonials

"Mark & Suzy, I just wanted to drop you both a line and say a huge thank you for the best photography day ever, on Saturday during the Sydney Splendour photography course.

Your knowledge of this craft is second to none and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to listen to you speak so passionately about this profession.

Your commitment to students or "photographer enthusiasts", your patience with people at different skill levels, and your willingness to teach others is commendable. Opening yourself up to as much 1:1 time each participant required is a testament to not only the pro photographer you are, but the man.

The notes that you provided were well crafted, informative and made the technical sessions easy to follow with practical applications. Being a visual and auditory learner, I found the photography tech sessions very useful and well explained, with ample time for clarification or any questions.

What gives your tour that extra something special, is having Suzy there, and allowing the participants to talk freely about their lives, their photographic experiences and really relax into the day, therefore creating a very unique and special learning environment for each participant.

I have developed so much even in the few short hours I was privileged to learn from your abilities. (I think I am driving my fiance Ryan a little crazy speaking about the day!).

Ryan and I will keep in contact and would love to organise a private photography lesson in the New Year down in Merimbula. Mostly, we just want to head out to spots you are connected to in Merimbula and shoot great photos.

Thank you again for providing this wonderful experience and sharing your passion with others!"

"Hi Mark, thank you to Matt and yourself for putting on such a fabulous Sydney photography course! Not only did I get some great photographs on the day but I discovered many new locations and ways to view the city of Sydney. I also learnt a great deal about some of the finer points of photography - in particular the filters information was a great help along with revising technical info and then applying that specifically to landscape photography. Lunch was superb -  so much food - and I really enjoyed being able to chat with yourself and the other participants about different aspects and perspectives of taking photos. Its always great to be challenged by different perspectives and ideas.

My favourite location was definately sunset at Milson's point, I got some amazing photos and I have become addicted to the weather forecasts to try and better predict the weather conditions for a shoot. I had a ball and would definately recommend the Sydney photography course to others. Thank you so much!"
