Matt is a great teacher – I attended the Melbourne Zoo beginners workshop this morning and I had such a great time. It was nice to finally learn the basics of my camera in a relaxed and supportive environment. Matt is patient but equally as interesting, using easy to follow tips and analogies to the real world. Thanks so much. Keen to attend another workshop!read more

Matt is an excellent teacher with patience and enthusiasm. At our beginners course at the Melbourne Zoo he took the time to make sure everyone was evolving and even loaned his professional camera to a participant whose camera battery was flat. Definitely recommend the course for people looking to gain more confidence in their photography.read more

Absolutely, have done three workshops with him now. A wild life one where we had fun stalking the animals, a light room workshop, great start up info, so glad I went before going to far too far down that track and a street photography workshop. I was stepping outside my comfort zone for that one and Matt provided me some challenges on perspective and how we see things : )read more

I am a complete novice regarding photography so attended my beginners class at Melbourne Zoo feeling a little intimidated. I need not have worried. Matt was super friendly and supportive and so knowledgeable. The pace of the class was perfect and he used lots of practical examples to support the theory. I would definitely do another class with Matt using my newfound confidence. Thanks Mattread more

Beginner zoo workshop was a wonderful birthday present! The small group size meant each of us could easily learn from Matt, ask questions and share with each other. Learning some of the technical aspects might have been overwhelming, but Matt’s relaxed style gave me confidence to experiment. I really loved this workshop! Can’t wait to keep practicing at home and improve my photography!read more

Thank you Matt for showing me the photography ropes today. At short notice and with some desperation in my voice, Matt managed to squeeze me in for a 2hr one on one session. I gained a great deal of useful info, practical tools, confidence and some real ah ha moments in that time, all delivered in a non judgemental and jargon free way. Thank you, I am grateful for what I have learned and can’t wait to get snapping!read more

I’ve now attended the Night photography and Travel and street photography workshop with Matt. Starting out with my Nikon DSLR camera as a beginner, Matt quickly informed me how to stop using auto and start exploring manual, shutter and aperture priority. His workshops are informative, hands on and a lot of fun. With a limit of 6 people in these workshops, it was nice to get some one on one time with Matt to ask questions and review photos. I highly recommend Matt Krumins photography. I can’t wait to book in for another one of this amazing workshops.read more

I joined Matt this morning in the Melbourne sunshine for a 3 hr one-on-one session learning techniques to improve my photography. As someone new to photography, Matt paced the session perfectly with information and practice on the street. It was an excellent no fuss session backed with a very professional operation complete by booklets, laminated cheat cards and online tutorials. I will certainly have to make use of Matt’s knowledge and skills over the next few years. An enjoyable morning.read more

Braving the cold and an early start was well worth it! Matt took us to Cape Schanck for a Sunrise shoot and after that we drove over to Bridgewater Bay to practise long exposure. What an awesome day! I can but recommend Matt's courses to anyone who wants to improve their skills. Matt is professional, caring and easy going. He takes time to explain technical stuff and can relate to any skill level. This was my second course and I will not be stopping here .....read more

My wife purchased me Matts street photography course, which I attended yesterday. Prior to the course I read up on aperature vs shutter speed and ISO. I have struggled in the past with these settings and have tended to revert back to the automatic and program settings. Matt well covered this in the course yesterday along with exposure control , giving me more confidence with these settings. Framing and photographing from different angles was also covered, opening my eyes to different options and vastly different outcomes. In summary a great course, but what I now need to do is to get out and make use of the knowledge gained and to have more confidence with the settings. Once i do this i will be signing up for further courses. And lastly Matts easy going attitude and willingness to answer what must seem like quite basic questions from me made the course all the more enjoyable. Thanks matt.read more

I had a one-on-one photography workshop with Matt at the Melbourne Zoo today and it was brilliant. Coming into it I had a little bit of photography knowledge but Matt explained concepts in a way that tied them together and made sense without talking down. Most importantly his advice was practical and allowed me to take noticeably better photos without overwhelming me with unnecessary detail. I’m also really happy with the prepared materials and the electronic copy of the stuff Matt sketched out on the day - this will be a great reminder of all the concepts we covered. Last but not least I had a lot of fun, would love to do another one and highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their photography.read more

My family purchased a voucher for me to attend a personal photography course with Matt. I cannot thank Matt enough, he explained ISO, Fstop, Lighting etc, in a language that finally made sense to me. I have been taking photo's for sometime now and had given up. This lesson has inspired me to pick my camera up again, the laminated cards Matt also provided, with a quick reference, are a great tool for me. I cannot wait to attend another course of Matt's and would highly encourage anyone thinking of attending a course to book it, you will not regret it!read more

I have now done 3 of Matt's courses and found excellent value in all of them. My first was seascapes, then histograms and Melbourne by Night. Matt has a way of breaking information down into bite sized chunks and delivers it in a way that it seems to really stick. He finds time for everyone and so I come away feeling I have had great individual attention as well as learning from what advice he has given others. We also covered completely different skills and approaches in each class. Highly recommend him.read more

I can’t speak highly enough of Matt and all his help, from sourcing the right equipment right through to the practical theory, setting up our equipment and the actual taking of the photos we were looking to produce.

I was on Matt's first "Real World Portrait Photography" workshop! It started on the banks of the Yarra with a super little introduction -- some 'lite' theory and a few rehearsals with our cameras, before we came to the real-life buskers. Not only did we learn photographic techniques but also street-photography-etiquette! I had the opportunity to try out so many things with my camera that I wouldn't have thought of beforehand.

As visitors to Melbourne we attended 3 of Matts workshops. He was very accomodating in organizing them to fit around our limited time schedule. We did the Melbourne Zoo, Street & Travel and Melbourne by Night workshops. Matt was an excellent teacher who freely shared his tips and tricks of the trade with all, he spent alot of 1 on 1 time with each person in the small group environment and was extrememly helpful to us with recently upgraded cameras. His teaching style and personality is truly an amazing gift. Along with Matts personal assistance, he provided us with handouts and flashcards to assist in getting the camera settings right when on location. Matt also provides great after course information with links to tutorials, facebook group assistance and his popular critique videos. We would highly recommend any of these tours and look forward to visiting Melbourne again to partake in some of Matt's other workshops.

My partner gave me a tripod and booked me into Matt’s Melbourne city night photography workshop - what a fantastic gift! The small group (6 of us) all had different cameras; Matt effortlessly helped us all to learn more about our camera settings and led us to several spots in the CBD, teaching us a new technique at each stop. The take home laminated prompt cards for each technique are a great idea. Matt runs a number of other small group workshops including Travel and Street Photography so I’ll be back for that one soon!read more

Matts workshop was a gift from my husband. We travel alot and he knew I absolutely love photography bur never learnt how to use my amazing camera to its full potential! Matts workshop varied in skill yet he gave enough one on one coaching for everyone to be on the same page. I feel like as a noob in photography i was able to grasp the terminology and a way better understanding of my camera and what I can do to make my shots even better. Matt's eye for photography is amazing. He is very creative, artistic and a great teacher. Thanks for all your patience I feel I've taken alot from the course. I look forward in using the tools i developed as i travel the world this year. Highly recommend Matt's courses I'll definatly be back. Thanks Matt you've inspired me!read more

I attended Matt’s “beginner” workshop at the zoo and loved it! Matt has a fantastic teaching style that was informative but not overwhelming. He has obviously put a lot of time and effort into preparing the workshop to cover different key points and provided us with handouts so we can review what was learned. The booking process was easy through his website and Matt has already followed up with some great links to tutorials on his website to help me with some topics I wanted further clarification on. I look forward to booking the city/travel workshop and hopefully the Lightroom editing workshop, and would highly recommend Matt’s courses to friends and family.

Just came back from my first photography session (at the Zoo) with Matt and I am hooked. First thing I did when I got home was go on line to book another two sessions.

I attended the zoo workshop with my 14 year old son. Both of us were complete beginners outside of auto mode. Matt had a lovely patient way of ensuring everyone in the group knew how to use their camera in many modes. I came away learning how to take photos up against glass to avoid reflection, how to use white balance, exposure compensation and how to take great photos in BW. Matt also taught us about animal behaviour and how to get the best shots when taking photos of animals. Matt had a great sense of humour and made the day really fun and memorable. We are looking to book into another workshop and would highly recommend this - you won’t regret it.read more

Spent a great 3 hours with Matt doing the “Travel and Street “ photography workshop this afternoon. Matt explained and showed me how to enjoy my camera and that the art of taking photos is a great tool to create lasting memories of what we experience every day. Have already booked “Melbourne by night” workshop. My 3 “cheat sheets “ will be with my camera always.read more

I attended Matts Melbourne Zoo Workshop on the weekend. I had only owned my DLSR for a month and felt so intimidated by it. By the end of the workshop I felt a lot more confident in using the camera and actually excited to practice more. Matt was easy to talk to, patient and made the whole process fun. While photography can be technical everything he explained was very easy to understand and follow. An extra bonus was the support Matt provides after the workshop. Emailing tutorials, providing a facebook group with other students to enhance our learning and being available to answer any questions I might have in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend his workshops and actually hope to do his travel workshop later in the year. Thanks heaps Matt!!read more

I went on Matt's zoo workshop and cannot speak highly enough of it. I would class myself as a beginner and was still getting to grips with my DSLR prior to going on the course. Within half an hour I already understood a lot more about my camera through Matt's tuition and we started to put the theory into practical use. I went from using solely auto settings to using other modes and therefore being in a lot more control of the pictures I was taking. The size of the group was perfect and Matt really put his full time into all of the group. I will be sure to find another workshop to go on soon!read more

I participated in Matt's Tooronga Falls workshop last Thursday, which was a huge learning curve for me. I'm still at the stage where I struggle with camera settings. Matt's teaching method is so easy to understand & I'm sure some of his gems of knowledge have stuck into my aging brain. I loved his examples about the correct choice of camera settings & these will make my future photography a little less daunting. This was my first experience with ND Filters - I was so pleased I had a CPL filter in my camera bag, as I had never considered attaching it on the lens underneath my ND Filter. I have came away from this workshop with enthusiasm to tackle some long exposures near home at Point Lonsdale & along the coast at Torquay. I was very impressed with the size of the group (4 in our case). Matt was so obliging to give us one-on-one attention to what we needed, to ensure we understood how to compose our photo and to follow our supplied chart, to achieve some great long exposures of the waterfalls. Thanks Matt - I'll be booking another date soon.read more

Perfect session to learn the basics of the camera within the theme of taking pictures to tell a story. We learned how to make a photo unique rather than something you'd find in a Google search. The group environment was friendly, relaxed and non-threatening, and we were given enough space to try the techniques before moving on rather than being rushed through. Worth every penny 🙂read more

Just completed Matt's 3 hour travel & street photography workshop, in an attempt to get off Auto (without getting lost in the manual). The content, group size and instructional style were spot on. Just the right amount of info to get me going in P/A/S modes, together with an appreciation of exposure and white balance, (zoom) lens compression and tips on composition - all explained in a way that's easy to remember. Matt's a positive and friendly instructor, who's able to accommodate different skill levels and camera types in his groups. He also has a wealth of online tutorials to draw upon, as well as very generous after-training support via facebook. Highly recommended.read more

Matt was very approachable and was always available to help me whenever I got stuck. Matt is also very generous in sharing the tricks of the trade like what you can do with a bit of water to create reflection. Thinking of doing the Phone Workshop so that I can improve on my composition. Thanks, Matt.read more

This was my first camera workshop ever. I had been contemplating a course for sometime but I wanted a one-on-one workshop. I'm getting older now so more travel is on the agenda. I wanted more out of my camera than just auto focus and shoot. Matt was very patient with me!! He explained the technical aspects in an easy and understandable manner and then emails it all out in a pdf. I just now need to practice, practice, practice!! Would gladly love to do another course in the future.read more

I first met Matt at the Bright Festival of Photography where he was conducting some of the workshops as well as walking tours . I was so impressed with his knowledge and style of teaching that I then booked into his travel and street photography workshop on return to Melbourne . And was not disappointed ! Apart from being one of the nicest people you will ever meet , Matt has a true passion for his craft and just wants to share his knowledge with you . He is a true teacher .... never talking about how good he is or how much he knows ... but genuinely wanting you to be the best you can be and to get the most out of your time with him . And like all good teachers he can take what may originally seem confusing and break it down into simple bits that will promise you at least one " ahh haa " moment and lots of " Wow ! .. I never knew/thought of that before " moments . Sooo worth the effort of attending . Thanks Matt ... I am sure I will be seeing you again .read more

If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! I did Matt’s Melbourne Zoo workshop last week and I LOVED it. You spend the first half hour with Matt explaining the basic concepts of photography. Within 45 minutes I had moved from amateur to enthusiast and was taking the best photos I have ever taken. I have a much better understanding of my camera (that I’ve only owned for a few weeks) and cannot wait to practice what I’ve learned. Matt explains things in an easy to understand way, answers any questions and will even do some quick research on additional equipment. Since the workshop, I’ve ordered a better lens for my camera and am looking forward to booking another workshop with Matt. To say I’m now addicted to photography is a massive understatement. Thanks so much, Matt!read more

The 1:1 session with Matt was perfect to help get my head around the new camera is the shortest time possible. Worth every penny. Basically Matt configured my camera to be luddite-friendly (schmuck mode) and then took me through the basics and showed me a few tricks. I was taking photos to be proud of in minutes. He's a really nice guy and good company, and the notes he made along the way on his notepad were tailored specifically to my level of talent (ha!) and the camera I have purchased. Value for money, very friendly and the level of information was brilliant - maximum level of technical information delivered in an easily-digestible way.read more

The mind is not an empty vessel to be filled, according to the great Roman historian Tacitus. He thought it was more like a fire waiting to be kindled. Precisely the approach a natural teacher the calibre of photographer Matt Krumins takes with his students. After three hours of tuition with Matt and in the convivial company of five other students we toured the environs of the Melbourne zoo and came away wanting more. Matt's conversational style tuition ensures you don't get hung up on your camera or photographic theory. Most of us delay taking a camera course because we are daunted by our camera's abundant settings. Matt imparts all the basic building blocks camera newbies require. More than enough to get you started on your photographic journey. But not just any building blocks. These are well chosen for their simplicity but with an eye to the future. They are the fundamentals you'll need to imbibe others more advanced. So they're essential. As for theory, Matt believes a little is great to get you going, but practise is better. So we went from enclosure to enclosure effortlessly taking in what is required for a "good" photograph and snapped away. Confident now with basic camera program settings, we listened for his experienced tips for the best shot outcomes. "Animals are creatures of habit and highly territorial,'' Matt advised at the tiger enclosure. Good nature photographers know this and work out the stomping ground of their animal and try to predict where they'll appear. So they'll already have their composition worked out before the animal arrives.'' At the Leema enclosure we were asked to observe this creature's grotesque hands. Cute animal but the hands stand out by their lack of empathetic cuteness. The Butterflys were as beautiful as they were fragile. Who would have thought that capturing their eyes would make for a great photograph. And as for the Elephants... "How many pictures of elephants show their size and gait?" Matt asked. And how many hone in an elephant's eye lashes? And this kind of close shot, generally gives you the animal's skin texture as well. Much more interesting photograph..." So it went for the three hours as the "doing" prevailed over theory. By the end of the session this friendly group was inspired to start getting creative with their cameras and to take their imagination off the leash. So glad I decided not to put off a basic camera course because I felt daunted by my camera's high tech settings. Even happier I took the punt to enrol in one of Matt's courses. I look forward to the next one.read more

Choosing a photography workshop is exciting and nerveracking. Nobody wants to look foolish and we want that shot. Mark is professional and easy going and provides the knowledge you need to know. I chose both the night photography and street photography workshops. Both showed how to simplify the photography process. While manual mode seemed like the most professional, I have captured my best night photography shots following Matt's valuable advice. One I will continue to follow and practise. There were many new tips and processes to but they were never hard to understand. Forget reading books or watching YouTube and just spend some hours with Matt. You won't regret it and will have an entertaing time learning new techniques. Was a very enjoyable experience.read more

This was my first time on a workshop with Matt and I was blown away, his teaching methods and analogies on the technical parts is incredibly easy to follow and remember. This was with no doubt the best workshop I have ever been on, it is not even comparable to any other workshops I have done with other photographers. Matt makes you feel so much at ease and creates fun. Even in the group environment, we still had one on one assistance and never felt rushed as I have experienced with other photographer's workshops. If you are trying to decide on which photographer to do a course with, look no further than a workshop with Matt Krumins. Truly the best!!

I bought my first camera at the age of 16, now at nearly 60 years of age I am still loving photography. Unfortunately the last 30 years I have been tied up with work but I am now starting to resurrect my passion for photography. I recently purchased a Nikon D7200 which I love but unfortunately nothing has changed, the manuals leave a lot to be desired and so I've done several workshops to try and learn about my camera. This included a Nikon School workshop and a Ted's Camera Workshop among others. Quite by accident I stumbled across Matt's website. I started reading some of the tutorials which are written in an excellent lay back manner in a language that is easily understood. Looking through Matt's various workshops I decided to try the Seascapes Workshop and WOW WHAT A DAY!!!! Matt has a gift for teaching........ like his tutorials he relays information in a simple uncomplicated way. I learnt more about photography and more importantly my camera with Matt yesterday than I did with all the other stuff that I've done, and to boot I came away with a couple of shots that I was ecstatic with. There was myself and only two other people in the group which gave Matt plenty of time to spend with each of us.I was keen to do this workshop as we would be using filters and Matt supplied Lee filters for us to use and I've now decided to replace my Hoya filters with one of these systems. I look forward to doing lots more workshops with Matt particularly the Astro Workshop in Cohuna, and once again Matt thank you so much for such a fantastic day! Looking forward to the next one!read more

Matt is very engaging and passionate about teaching photography, and as the day involved driving from Melbourne to Point Lonsdale we had plenty of time to talk about loads of photography issues. As there were only three of us, Matt was able to give everyone attention whenever they needed it. We all learnt new ways of seeing. Personally it was a first for me shooting (intentionally) in black and white and I'm now totally obsessed. The filters were a steep learning curve but a great start.

I took Matt's Lightroom Class last night. The class ran for 3 hours and i learnt so much. Matt is incredibly patient, which is so important when you're just a beginner. Having said that several people in the class had done previous classes with Matt and were there to learn more or just to refresh skills learnt prior. I can't wait to start practising and sharing some of my images for feedback, which was encouraged on the night. Great to enjoy an evening with other peeps with the "Shutter Bug" Thanks Matt, I will look forward to more workshops with you.read more

I bought the Melbourne Zoo class as a birthday present for my partner, she said it was the best gift she ever received! Matt was so knowledgeable and patient with us all, and the small group was enthusiastic and motivated to learn and improve their photos. The location was obviously perfect, as it offered numerous subjects to hone our skills on, plus who doesn't want to see 3 teenage lions fooling around! Thanks very much Matt for the superb lesson. Cheers, Justin and Michelleread more

OK, I have to be honest I didn't know how to use my camera, ok so I knew how to turn it on... but that was probably it. From the get go Matt made it super easy and used lingo that I understood, and best of all he made it Fun! Learning is fun, and learning something new is always hard at the beginning. Photography takes time to master and I look forward to learning more tricks of the trade in future MK workshops. Thank you for helping me to capture photos to tell my story.read more

I recently attended Matt's "Melbourne by Night" workshop. It was a great small group workshop and Matt took the time to get to know each of our skill levels and catered the workshop accordingly. We learned and practiced different techniques within close proximity to Flinders Street Station. Matt was patient, friendly and able to explain the concepts and techniques in a way that was easy to understand and apply. He has also established a set of resources so you can continue to develop your skills after the course is complete. Matt has reinvigorated my interest in taking great photos and I will definitely be back for more. Thanks Matt!read more

I have taken Matt's zoo as well as the travel and street photography workshop and thoroughly enjoyed both. The latter course was yesterday so I will focus on that one here. Being limited to just six participants means that Matt can provide individual attention to each member and challenge us according to our level. With an emphasis on composition throughout the three hours yesterday, he provided us with lots of different pieces of advice for getting interesting compositions as well as a variety of settings for the practice of these. Although he suggests in advance that we take a notebook and pen to his workshops, I never have time to use mine but do make sure to write up some notes upon return home. I liked the small cards he handed out yesterday summarizing main guidelines to capture blurry backgrounds and capture motion, which were main emphases of yesterday's workshop. I am very impressed with his highly professional organization and the variety of support he offers to his students, including a closed supportive Facebook page for past participants. Yesterday he even explained how he can also offer quick individual advice via text if we get stuck in the field in the future. I definitely plan to take more of Matt's courses in the future.read more

I signed up for Street & Travel Photography workshop in Melbourne, and have to say it was one of the most engaging workshops I've done. With only small group (6 people) there was plenty of 1:1 mixed with group sessions. Matt is very light hearted and you can see his genuine desire to help improve your photography, no matter your experience level. I mainly took the workshop to learn how to tell stories through images, improve my composition and pick up some new tricks along the way. I can't wait to do another workshop and test my skills further with Matt. Thanks again.read more

Matt's simple, no nonsense approach was a breath of fresh air. This 3 hour workshop won't turn you into a professional photographer but it will certainly turn you into a photographer who dares to try out various options to get a better result and with a "new" way of seeing what you want to shoot. Thanks Matt.read more

I did the 3 day advanced under water course hosted at feet feet first diving. The course was brilliant. It covered everything I needed to learn in order to move forward with my photography. The subjects were broken down into segments, that were easy to digest, and the explanations were in both plain English, and technical speak. So much better to be able to relate the two, rather than just getting the easy version. It's incredible that so much information was transferred, and that I've been able to retain it. That speaks volumes on matt's ability to teach! The dives were great, even though visibility was poor. Matt was on hand, and ready to change settings and explain them after. All in all, it was a fantastic course that I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their underwater photography skills.read more

I did the one day seascape course with Matt around a week or so ago. I'd been taking photos for around 6 months prior to the course and mainly do seascapes and I'm self taught. Main reasons I did the course was to one gain a bit more confidence in what I was doing, sort some exposure issues out when in high contrast light and to better understand composing a good image. All these needs were ticked off as well as understanding my camera better. Also got a few tips in Lightroom editing, as well as uploading in the correct resolution and format to social media. Now it's up to me to build on what I've learnt. The small number in this group allows for good one on one time during the day. I think this is a great course for anyone to doread more

I did a private Lightroom workshop with Matt and it was one of the best decisions I've made for a long time. Matt knows his stuff inside out so was able to tailor our workshop to the things I particularly wanted to learn. He is easy to get on with, gives clear, uncomplicated instruction, is generous with his knowledge, and extremely helpful. As well as illuminating Lightroom, he also taught me things about my Olympus OMD-EM1 that I didn't know, despite having taken four days of expensive classes on it — a real bonus. He gives you lots of notes so you have references to hang onto, and invites you to call with any subsequent problem (does he realise what he's letting himself in for?) So I'd recommend that you stop faffing about, driving yourself crazy and cursing the technology, and give Matt a call.read more

Matt was patient and made himself available after the workshop for anyone who wanted to learn anything he did not cover or to just ask general questions, highly recommend this workshop!! Attended the zoo workshop today, Matt has a way of teaching the technical side that makes sense. I learnt so much about composition, how to look at a subject in an ordinary way, then to look at other angles to take the photo from ordinary to extraordinary (with practice they will be extraordinary) His style is laid back and honest. I can't wait for the next workshop I do with Matt.read more

WARNING: These courses will make you addicted to photography and how to get the best shots you can! Matt has found the perfect mix of theory (that is presented in a way that makes it less intimidating than it seems) and the practical of just getting out there and shooting - with all the support you need. As a beginner to photography, the skills I've learnt have been easily transferable to conditions/environments outside the course and I've left the workshops confident to practice by myself! The small sizes mean regardless of your experience level there is always something you can take from these workshops. I've attended the Zoo and Seascapes workshops and will no doubt book into another one soon!read more

Matt's seascape course is an absolute necessity to anyone who wants to learn how to use filters on their camera. Just the right amount of theroy to understand what you will need which doesn't drag out so you can do what you love. Matt takes you through all the great ideas you will need for good composition and also takes you through all the settings within you camera to get that shot you are looking for. I highly recommend this course and I could imagine all his other courses will be run in this same professional but relaxed manner.. Thanks Matt for the great day out.read more

When I first met Matt he was giving a fantastic talk about underwater photography at my dive club. He later helped me pick out new underwater photography gear, which I learned how to use properly in a couple of his wonderful underwater photography courses. Matt is a patient & engaging teacher who has helped me take my photography to the next level. Needless to say, when my partner & I found out that Matt was also available for wedding photography we were very excited and booked him in to capture our special day. His work well & truly exceeded all of our expectations & we are in love with all the stunning images. Matt was a delight to have around on the day, barely noticeable during all those special moments yet very engaging with the guests & our dogs to make sure everyone & everything got captured in the best possible light. Besides the standard repertoire he pulled quite a few tricks out of his photography hat and expertly used his drone & remote flash for some very special shots. Some of our favorite images on a pier & the tidal rock pools also required quite a bit of adventure style photography on Matt's end, but luckily we DIDN'T loose him in that swamp after all 🙂 Thank you Matt, for being part of our special day at the beach and for beautiful photographic memories that will last a lifetime!

I have done two of Matt's workshops, "Melbourne by night" and " Travel and street". I was so impressed by the first one that I booked another one a week later. I found both workshops full of content, new ideas, and very educational. Matt has a way of delivery his workshops that are fun, as he's full of humour which puts everyone at ease, his easy going nature makes him approachable and always felt at ease asking him the silliest of questions. Matt's workshops are limited to 6 people, therefore as the group is small, Matt has many opportunities to help everyone individually, which he does very well. It really shows in the way he conducts the workshops how passionate he is about this art. I have done multiple workshops in London, but never learned as much about my camera, photography or had the results in my shots as great as I did after his workshops. I highly recommend his workshops to any level photographer wanting to either learn or sharpen up their skills. Thanks for the experience and new gained skills Matt.read more

An excellent morning spent at the zoo with Matt Krumin as he passed on the benefits of his extensive experience. He has a flair in simplifying seemingly complex photographic principals, I learned more in the morning with Matt than I have battling on alone. I look forward to the next workshop that I join him on.read more

25th July 2018 I have now attended a number of Matt's workshops and classes which include: Astro, Basic Lightroom, Advanced Lightroom, Zoo, Street workshops. These have improved my capabilities and confidence as a photographer immensely. Matt describes things simply and manages to cater for everyone from the beginner to the more advanced students without leaving anyone behind or leaving anyone bored. The Advanced Lightroom course covered everything that was on the agenda and much more - now to put it into practice!! March 2017 Zoo workshop. I attended this with my 12 year old son, who learnt an amazing amount during this time. Thanks Matt for your patience and skills in teaching such a wide variety of people and experience. 14th Feb 2017 Last night I attended a one-on-one session with Matt to familiarise myself with my new mirrorless camera (it's changed a lot from my old DSLR!). He was fantastic! He went through the camera and my queries in a clear manner with great explanations. He has a number of analogies which really help to cement the learning. I was really impressed with this session and am looking forward to booking in another workshop with my son soon. Thanks!read more

Completed the Travel & Street Photography Workshop today which Matt delivered with his easy, fun and relaxing manner. Learnt a lot of new tricks and he consolidated my understanding of how to use my dSLR with personal & memorable anecdotes. Would thoroughly recommend his workshops as he taught new skills clearly, gave you a chance to practice and provided feedback as well. Thank you Matt 🙂read more

What a lovely afternoon spent with Matt and the street & travel photography class. I learned a lot of new settings for my camera and Matt has given me the confidence to step out and try new techniques. No longer will I be reluctant to use MPAS and I can finally start to enjoy the art of photography.read more

Just home from a wonderful Street & Travel Photography Workshop with Matt. He explains things in a clear and no nonsense way and has no problem with repeating things when people don't quite get it the first time! Matt's little stories have helped me to understand all the workings of my camera, I had a great day, took some fantastic photos and had a laugh along the way! I would recommend Matt's courses to anyone regardless of their level of proficiency 🙂read more

I took part in Matt's Zoo Photography workshop last year. I had one of my images printed & entered it in my photography club monthly comp this month. Earned me a merit. Definitely worth taking part in the workshop, thanks Matt �

Not sure who said it but this perfectly encapsulates Matt Krumins and his instruction. The mediocre teacher TELLS. The good teacher EXPLAINS. The superior teacher DEMONSTRATES. The great teacher INSPIRES.” Matt ticks all the boxes and then some!read more
