What previous participants have said "I learnt more in two hours with Helen than I did in two years on my university photography course." Marie Louise Tibbles Photography "Helen is a wonderful teacher. I literally didn't know one end of a camera from the other. My camera had been sitting in a drawer alongside a 'teach yourself photography' book for years. Helen was patient and made learning easy. I now have the confidence to take fantastic photographs."
