Our Clients Feedback

  • I was very much looking forward to the workshop but i will admit in my arrogance, i didn’t think there would be anything that they could teach me. I was wrong!!!I picked up a couple of cool technical tips working in Lightroom and Photoshop, but I also saw a method… a philosophy you might say about the creative process and how a vision takes form and is realized. This was truly inspiring for me.Thanks Kerry-Ann and Yuri! This was a great day spent learning, dining and just hanging with like minded people!

  • FIVE STARS for 2 STARS!!

    Yuri and Kerry-Ann made for a perfectly complemented dynamic duo! They created a professional, welcoming, relaxed, yet fun environment well suited for learning and retaining information easily, for everyone in attendance.

    I would definitely sign up for another Master Class with either or both of them and highly recommend to other photographers of any level to not miss out if ever offered the chance to partake! I’m still using the knowledge I gained from their presentation every day. I’m thankful and most grateful to them!
