Hi Jane I’ve just watched your video on setting goals and I was struck by how much effort and personal interaction you have with your group members!

I have attended 4 workshops with Jane and had a course of one to one sessions to improve my photography. During this time I have gone from ‘ all the gear and no idea’ to someone who now shoots in manual, getting the shots that I want.

You’re a… Read more “One to one tuition”
