Some kind words

Thank you Paula. Thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and learnt so much. Have my picture of Alfie (the dog) as my screen saver; love it.

I enjoyed learning from Paula, she is not only a knowledgeable teacher and a fantastic photographer but also a lovely person to spend time with. One of my lessons, we went out to take some shots in town. I could see almost instant improvement when I re-took the subject following her advice, such as composition. It was a valuable experience for me and I recommend to anyone
Georgina

I’m so happy with my collection of photos and would recommend this lady to anyone.
