I have to say that without doubt that I was really impressed with the course. It was the nearest thing to one to one tuition any person will get. Liam is just really good at what he does and a natural at teaching. He made the class enjoyable for everyone and covered all the basics and a lot more. It was a great experience.<\/em><\/p>\n Then in 2019 I attended Liam’s intermediate course and that was equally as good. I highly recommend these courses to anyone interested in learning photography. It will improve your skills to no end and you will enjoy taking photos for years with what you learn in a few short weeks as well as meeting new friends with the same interest.” Martin Finnerty<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nWho is the course for?<\/h2>\n
