“The studio lighting workshop was great! I’ve been photographing for a few years using natural light and the occasional on camera flash but I’d always wanted to learn more about using studio lights. Paulinne gave us a such a comprehensive introduction to the most common lights, working in a studio setting and talked through plenty of examples of her own photos. We also had the opportunity to try out different light set ups with our own cameras. It was such a fun day! Thanks so much, Paulinne”

“I have nothing but praise and positivity to say about the recent workshop that I attended with Paulinne. The way the information was given out was easy to understand and simple. I loved that we were showed how to physically do the things we were being taught and then given to opportunity to put it into place ourselves. I could have spent all day in there with those people. THANK YOU”

Having hosted workshops for over 150 photographers, I can say the atmosphere is always incredible! Participants are always so welcoming and kind.
