"I cannot say THANK YOU enough!!! This has revolutionised what I feel I can do with my camera. I finally feel like it's mine!! Eureka! Brilliant. So clear and easy to understand. Great examples."
"Dear Anna, Just a little note to say a huge thank you for my lesson in manual photography last week. I have been experimenting with my camera and have had some amazing results! To see the immediate change in image quality has given me such a confidence boost. Your notes are clear, precise and a great source of reference so I'm looking forward to my next project and will be sharing my new knowledge with my girls. Thank you again Anna, I'm very grateful for your patience and the time you spent with me."
"I feel I have learnt so much (I'm unable to even quantify it). Anna has been such a wonderful teacher, supportive of learning and very responsive. I have really loved my day. Fantastic material and practical session. Very informative, personal and just a wonderful session."
"I feel as if I have gone from knowing absolutely nothing about how my camera works to knowing a huge amount. Really enjoyed it."
"I just wanted to thank you again for your terrific course on Saturday. I enjoyed it so much and got exactly what I came for: the confidence that comes from understanding how good photos are taken. You demystified the core concepts that had been holding me back for so long. Early days but I know photography will free me up as a writer and be a great creative outlet. Thanks again and keep me on the newsletter."
"Brilliant intro to manual settings and the basics of how the camera actually works and deals with light etc. Nice speed, lots of examples which help illustrate the different effects. Useful to be able to practice outside as well."
"I have learned loads!! From the very first 5 minutes right the way through. I feel I can now put proper thought into every photo. Excellent. Worked perfectly for us. We are impatient but want to learn and the pace, content and approach worked really well. Thank you."
"I have moved from zero to having a clear understanding of cause and effect. Very comfortable venue and easy access to places to photograph"
"Dear Anna, thank you so much for today's session. I have learnt a great deal - the fog has lifted! You have made everything so very much clearer than it had been before 10am this morning! I had a spring in my step as I walked to the car park. Thank you again."
"An amazing workshop. Thank you so much. Clear, precise and excellent. A fantastic and inspiring teacher. I would love to attend another workshop. You are an amazing teacher."
"A very belated thank you for a fantastic morning last week. I was even able to explain everything to my husband and he understood! Just had my first solo foray into the butterfly house at Wisley and shocked my children with the results (only used manual mode as well!). 
"I just wanted to say a big thank you for the workshop. I really enjoyed it. It wasn't too overwhelming and I can't wait to get out there to practise what we learnt.  I like the idea that you can be more creative using the manual setting... so no more automatic setting for me! Very professional presentation. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you!"
"I feel I now know the key areas to actually invest in my photos by finally having control - it's inspired me to invest further in my photography. Really easy to absorb, good pace and great quality. A really helpful mix of practice and theory - the technical side of the camera as well as composition."
"I feel as though I've learnt a lot more today that I would ever get from reading a book. Really good quality material, all taught in a friendly but professional manner, and really helpful to go outside and get some practical experience, even in the snow!
