Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye.

    Simona's photoshop class was interesting and fun. She focused on the basics, especially working with levels and exposure. I had a photo from a train station, and Simona how it was actually underexposed. Learning how to adjust the levels properly transformed it from an okay shot into something really good - brightening up the darker areas while keeping the bright lights balanced. It was eye-opening to see how much potential was in the original image. What made the class special was Simona herself - she's not just a great teacher but really entertaining too. Her decades of experience as a professional photographer meant she could share wider insights about digital photography, not just software tricks. The small group was lovely, and it was fascinating to see everyone's photos and how they improved them using the techniques we learned. If you're looking for a friendly, no-pressure introduction to photo editing with an experienced pro, I'd definitely recommend this workshop.

    Really enjoyed the session as an intro to Photoshop. The environment was very relaxing and Simona has an encouraging easy going teaching style allowing us to "do" as well as listen. My sister and I would definitely do further sessions. Simona herself has a wealth of knowledge which she is happy to impart to us.

    I used to work in this area so taking a trip back there brought back many memories and thoughts of how much I loved it there. What better way to lock in those thoughts in a stunning photo of that wonderful view. Armed with my tripod I took a 30 sec exposure for this one, bringing a calmness to the scene.

    The model 'Sofia' hails from Barcelona. The photos she had in her portfolio prior to her visit made her look quite mean. I found her personality to be quite the opposite. She is a delightful, highly intelligent and most friendly girl. I wanted to reflect this playful side of her in the images I took. Sofia is delighted with the results and so am I.

    The Brooklyn Bridge with the Empire State Building as viewed from DUMBO. I've been to NYC once before but this was my first time since starting photography. When I learned of this spot I knew I had to get my own photo of the iconic view. I only had a few lenses to choose from and a huge crowd of people to work around trying to get their own photos. The photo still turned out incredible if I may say.

    This was a nice crisp cool morning during a trip to NYC. This was not an impromptu picture, it was planned prior to going to NYC. It?s a very iconic spot to take a photo and I would encourage photographers to get their own shot to hang in their homes or sale.
