It was exactly what I wanted. I was given strategies, techniques and hands on assistance with the art of taking street photography. She was very flexible and adapted to what we wanted to do, but was very professional.

It was very good. Appreciate the 2x rescheduling that had to be done. Seamless and all rebooked for the boat. Touring the island was easy thanks to Stephanie who knew her way round. Good talks with her about photography in general

Stephanie Smith is an excellent instructor. She taught me basic things like ISO and aperture and techniques in a very understandable manner. I will definitely take more classes to learn more and take better pictures.

Because it was a small group, we were able to cover targeted solutions to the challenges that I had been dealing with in regards to lighting situations.
