Locations are easy to find. Instructor is very helpful and gives one-on-one time to explain the process, help with camera settings and extra tips for the technique of the workshop. Extra links sent via email are a great reference for future photoshoots. Meeting other like minded attendees in this kind of setting is ideal. I come away from each meetup learning something new!

Both hubby and I really enjoyed the experience. Despite being a windy day it didn't take away from several pleasant hours of learning new tips, techniques and ideas, thanks to Ijumma. Being a small, supportive group really helped too. We completed this session feeling inspired and ready to test out our new found skills.

This was a great, relaxed way to practice my photography skills with a focus on black and white. Ijumaa was a good instructor, giving us freedom to explore and learn in the way that best suited us.

Really enjoyed it - although I got very cold by the end! Tutor was very helpful, personable and knowledgeable. My aim was to use 'manual' and I did, with his guidance, and came home with some very encouraging images.
