Glyn Ridgers from Loft A said ” We had been planning these workshops designed for beginner to intermediate photographers for sometime now and and we are delighted that the  students said that they all had a wonderfully fun and informative day and had met new friends doing so”

Jonathan Wignall from Loft A added “The day was a real success, we had people with various abilities and photographic experience and as the workshops hold a maximum of 6 people we were able to tailor the course to their needs enabling them to get the most out of the day”

The workshops run from their studio in Tollesbury, Essex and cover a few hours theory on getting to know the basics of photography and photographic equipment followed by a practical session either outside in the boat yard and marina or if the weather is not to good they will cover a practical session of studio/ still life/ product  photography. Then everyone has lunch in the wonderful tea rooms followed by a Lightroom session back in the studio.

Anna Eaton who attended the workshop said

” Just wanted to say thank you again for today.  I had a great time and have learnt some more tricks and cemented my understanding a little bit more on some technical points“

Linda Precious also said

”  I wanted to say thanks for a lovely day today, I thought you guys were very good, you compliment each other very well, Jonathan doing the presentation and Glyn backing up and reinforcing, you are a great team, it’s also good that one is Nikon and one is Canon.  For me, it made me think about my photography more and I particularly liked the introduction of Lightroom,  I definitely think Loft A Photographics have a good future, good luck and thanks again”.
