“I recently had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Tanita and three other participants at her very helpful and highly informative Smartphone Workshop. 

Tanita was excellent at explaining the techniques and guidelines. Her teaching style is relaxed, friendly and supportive. We had a lot of fun as a group, helping and supporting each other whilst sharing our own photo taking experiences & disasters!

I now look at my many past travel photos with a more confident and critical eye and will be using the techniques Tanita taught us in future.” - Carole

“One of the best things I have done recently is learn how to use my smartphone camera properly. Tanita is a brilliant photographer and teacher and we had the best fun doing this workshop. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to up their game” - Nicola

“What a fabulous experience as Tanita was so knowledgeable and supportive.It was just the right amount of information to apply immediately without being too technical or overwhelming!

Tanita took us to little known parts of Fremantle which were wonderful for taking photographs and provided us with feedback which was warm and encouraging. Such a lovely small group too with so much fun along the way as we were all at a similar stage of learning.

I feel so much more confident now and am looking forward to putting my new found skills into practice on my travels!” - Jules


“It is amazing how much more confident I feel about taking photos after spending a few hours with Tanita. I really enjoyed the perfect balance between learning the theory and then being able to apply it in the beautiful surrounds.
Thank you so much Tanita, your photography course is both fun and highly educational.” - Sharon-Lee.
