"I booked the beginner photography course before the COVID-19 lockdown, but we could not have a face-to-face course as scheduled. Martin has been a true professional in how he handled this unforeseen uncertainty. He regularly contacted me telephonically to keep me updated, and in the end, he migrated to an online course due to the extended lockdown. Initially, I was sceptical about the online course, but it works very well! Martin visually explains concepts thoroughly with high-quality slides. He has a great sense of humour and engages well. The class is intimate, and you can ask questions as needed in a traditional classroom. Given a choice now, I enjoy doing this online, and I don't feel I am missing out on an in-person class! I enjoy doing this from the comfort of my home. He is a gifted teacher - and this (now online) course is highly recommended to learn how to take great photographs."

Cape Town Landscape Photography: Capture the Beauty

Learn advanced techniques for capturing breathtaking photos of forests, landscapes, and seascapes. Get ready for an exciting and inspiring week of creativity and fun!
"So I attended the landscape course with Martin. I had the pleasure of Martin's teaching many years ago, and once again, we received a masterclass on how it should be done. The attention to detail and the techniques employed were correct.
The syllabus was adapted to the class's requirements, and as such, we achieved brilliant results due to the focus.
More importantly, Martins's method of instruction is very hands-on, and his time is spent assisting the students as opposed to him photographing and the class trying to emulate him.
This was a fantastic experience and one of the best photography courses in Cape Town. I have already arranged an updated class in 2022."
