Workshop Testimonials
"Hi Mark, I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful experience in Cairns. I now finally have the confidence to move off the dreaded 'Auto' mode and use my camera to it's potential.
I have taken a couple of photography courses in the past, but the way you explained things, it finally sunk in!
I have come away with some fantastic shots to show my family and friends, especially from the Green Island shoot. That chopper flight was one of the most exhilarating things I have ever done! I am still buzzing from it!"
- Sarah Olliffe, NSW
"Hi Mark, just a quick note to say thank you for 3 great days of inspirational learning during the "Taste Of The Tropics'. Your method, style and passion in how you pass on your techniques and criticism makes for perhaps the most beneficial learning environment I have ever been a part of.
Learning different style and views from the rest of the group has made me look at how I compose my photos differently while your techniques make them just that little bit more striking.
See you on the next workshop!"
- Steve Bortolloto, VIC
