"I have participated recently in four worskshops for beginners with Emily. The course took place in Brussels. It has met all my expectations. It combined a part on theory with photo shooting. Emily is not only an experienced and enthusiastic photographer, but she also enjoys teaching photography. She had a personalised approach to students and took her time to explained...

"Erwan B : the workshop, Photographically exploring the City of Light, has fully fulfilled my expectations.I am a beginner as I have always utilized compact cameras in automatic mode and the phographer has shown me the main principles of the other modes during the 2 hours workshop. The photographer was patient, flexible in term of scope, interresting in term of experience...

"I enjoyed the course very much and I learned much more than what I had expected for such a short course. Warm regards and good luck with this project"
Isabelle D.
“ I took the beginners course of four x 3hr lessons in a group of four students with Emily. The set-up was great – a small group (four students), meeting in the relaxed informal setting of a café for theory and questions, then going out to have adventures with our cameras, finally meeting at the end of each session to review each other’s pictures and get teacher feedback. The...

"It was more than just a classic workshop - Frédéric shared his passion for photography with me. I made significantly more progress throughout that day than in hours spent photographing by myself, because Frédéric knew how to teach me the little things, tips, or techniques that make the difference. We did many practical exercises in different lighting conditions and...
Patrice D.
"I would like to mention that I enjoyed the step-by-step introduction to the different portrait styles and the following hands-on practice with the tutor. Her great expertise in the field, her enthusiasm as well as her and the model's patience; the information and advice given on different techniques and the immediate feed-back provided were extremely valuable. In...

"I had the chance to follow a composition workshop with Emily Smith on December 15 2012 and it was really impressing. It is so amazing to get information from a professional photographer with so much knowledge about composition and coulour combination. Ms. Smith had an answer to all the questions and the communication flow is absolutely great. I'd really recommend...
Cristian M.
"I would like to thank you for a very enjoyable Workshop on Composition in Brussels with Emily Smith. Emily's methodology was spot on. She struck the right balance between theory, practical advice and tips and getting out there and having a go – all offered under a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. It was great to acquire so much knowledge in such a short time and...
Gabrielle V.
"Really good class (mon 16th in paris, with Rachael Woodson) that gave a good introduction to a lot of basic fundamentals in photography, excactly what I needed. The teacher was very educational and explained in a good way that made it easy to understand. It would have been good with an extra hour though, because the time went by so fast. And a bit slower walking/moving,...

"A very enjoyable half-day workshop, where each could work at their own pace and we could ask all sorts of questions on technique but also equipment and post-processing. Learned a lot and will certainly sign up again!"

" The weather was so bad, it was cold and the heaven was grey. Nevertheless our photograph teacher taught us a lot of information how to use our carmera in the right order for getting good photos. He knew all about my camera so he could give me answers to all of my questions. I´d recommend this workshop. "
