WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Claire T

I recently had the pleasure of attending the 1st camera club at the studio and found the guys very welcoming and informative. I learnt about how to best use my brand new camera. And shooting with a model really helped put that knowledge into practice. I would recommend anyone who wants to know that little bit more about cameras to go along to the next class.

Mark P

I learnt more from attending the camera class than I did watching youtube for the past year! . Before I would have never given thought to a scene - it was literally a point and shoot but now I feel that I can work towards capturing awesome photos and memories for my family to enjoy years to come. I would love to attend further sessions on more specific subjects

Abigail W

Mikey and Andy always make everybody feel welcome. They have helped me so much from just starting to use the camera to editing photos, everything was explained and show perfect that I understood straight away. If I can understand straight away only one can. Always there to help if I get stuck. I would defiantly recommend Lawson Wright for camera lessons. Thanks Guys !
