I have done 5 or 6 courses with Matt, attended several Webinars, and I am now participating in one of Matts new online courses run through Zoom. Thoroughly enjoyed last night and very much looking forward to next week. Week 1 of Advanced Lightroom and learnt so much already.

Jump on Board!Matt's small group workshops are the best way to enjoy life in small groups and get out and about while the public is sparse.He's got plenty of sanitizer available and all classes are contactless. Never stop learning! It's a great opportunity!

Yesterday I attended Matt's "Real World Portraits" Workshop. Great learning experience and good fun. Matt has an easy approach to teaching, comprehensive knowledge of his subject, and the ability to pass on his knowledge in a way that is easily understood. This particular workshop had us all stepping out of our comfort zones and enjoying it.

I did the beginners workshop today, at Melbourne Zoo. What’s a beginner? In my case it’s someone who has been an enthusiastic photographer for many years, but has never confidently moved beyond the auto setting on my camera. 3 hours in a small group with Matt today has been a revelation. Time to hear Matt talk through the how and why and then taking lots of photos to put new knowledge into practice. It’s a really well paced 3 hours that allows plenty of time for questions and one-to-one tuition. So, whether you’re the sort of beginner that I am, or someone who is just starting out, I’d say this is an investment of your time and money that will repay you many times over.

Hey Matt, Fantastic basic course and great instructual technique. Learnt so much in that 3 hours. I am amazed at your knowledge of the different cameras that everybody was using. I was not aware of half the buttons on my camera and lens. Now is pracyice time. Highly reccomend the beginners class for anyone who wants to improve their photos and wants to move on from the "auto point and shoot" settings. You are one hell of a great instructor.

I attended Matt's holiday and street photography workshop in Melbourne, it was a small group workshop so there was plenty of attention time. Matt taught us many helpful techniques as well as different ways to look at the world so as to get more memorable photos. He explained everything in easy to understand terms and made the afternoon a lot of fun too. I thoroughly recommend this workshop if you are planning a trip, but do it even if you aren't. Doesn't he look like a fun guy?

I've previously joined the Travel and Street Photography workshop with Matt and it was an eye opening experience. Not only did Matt guided me on the use of camera settings for my camera, he also made it easy to understand analogies and real life examples. I was actually very surprised as it seems Matt has a wide range of experience/ knowledge with different cameras (to the extend to located specific settings for range Point & Shoot, Mirrorless and DSLR cameras). During this workshop Matt has provided everyone with one on one personalized training which meet their photography objective/ criteria. I definitely enjoyed the workshop and learnt a lot from Matt's expertise.

I recently did a one on one course with Matt to get an understanding of how to setup the camera for underwater shots. The lesson was informative and at a level I could understand. Having now put it into practice it has made a vast improvement on my shots. Would throughly recommend Matts course.

I completed the Beginner’s course at Melbourne Zoo this morning and it was truly worth it! Matt’s teaching style is simple, he uses everyday examples and language rather than the typical photography language. This made it easy to grasp concepts and then I was able to continue on around the zoo on my own and practice what I learned in this course. I plan on continuing my lessons with Matt in the near future.18/01/2020 I followed up the beginner session with the Street and Travel workshop in the Melbourne CBD. Needless to say, it was very informative and lots of learning was had on the day. Many oh wow moments as Matt showed us some neat tricks with aperture and shutter priority. These will come in handy when travelling and trying to get some great shots without having the focus on the crowds around you. I will be taking on more workshops with Matt as his teaching style is for all ages and is simple and easy to remember.

As always Matt's speed light workshop was sensational. Fun and learning all at the same time. Who can ever forget the hand signals for light onto the sensor!!!! "You are in charge of the light" Thanks Matt for a very informative morning. Cheers

Attended the Advanced Wildlife Photography at the Melbourne Zoo with Matt and had a great experience. Matt's passion for photography is infectious. I gained more knowledge in the 3 hours spent with Matt than I have in a long time. Matt delivers easy to grasp concepts in an engaging and fun style. I had a ball.

Matt is a superstar! His Street Portrait workshop was an intimate, easy to understand photo walk with a heap of real time feedback! I picked up a lot of tips and tricks doing this workshop on a lot of aspects from camera set up, quick tips around my camera body, how to approach people in the street as well as my new favourite thought of you can never be too wide in your lens!Huge thanks to Matt for running such awesome workshops!

Matt's workshops are always highly enjoyable and very worthwhile. Yesterday's Real World Portraits certainly met these criteria and I felt that the other participants felt the same as I did. I attended this workshop for the second time as I wanted to practise getting quicker at making better decisions on the spot which, in turn, would produce better photos. While I still feel that I failed to do this sufficiently well in too many instances - particularly in getting clear, uncluttered backgrounds - it was a useful exercise and Matt was nearby to offer praise in a few instances (I'm not sure whether was deserved or not though) and suggestions for improvements in other cases. This is an important advantage of his small-group workshops, with only six other participants. After yeserday's experience, I feel confident enough to return to the city to photograph buskers and any other individuals with sufficient allure who are also willing to be photographed. I realise that lots and lots of practice is necessary to become a better photographer and I am grateful to Matt for what I have learned from his guided instruction at various workshops to date. I strongly recommend anyone living within commuting distance to Melbourne to take advantage of the sessions which he offers in person.

I attended Matt's Real World Portraits workshop yesterday and it was fantastic! Matt is extremely knowledgeable and able to share his knowledge in a simple and easy to remember way. I found Matt's style to be very engaging and heaps fun making the entire group feel at ease and up for the challenge of getting up and personal with our subjects. The group size is kept small deliberately which was great as I had heaps of 1:1 advice from Matt, not just technical but also how best to compose your shot or how to better it next time. All in all a great workshop and I will certainly be back for more.

Learnt so much in the short period of time I was at the Melbourne Zoo workshop for. Walked away from this workshop from not knowing anything to knowing enough now that I can shoot with confidence and look back through my photos with others instead of cringing at them and pressing delete. Thank you Matt for sharing you knoweledge in such a way it was easy to understand and remember.

I have operated an outdoor Theme Park by the name of Funfields for a period of about 25 years. Over the years we have used professional photographers for some really good results. However this year we enlisted the services of Matt Krummins and the results were outstanding. Matt had to work with a number of talent on the day and he did it with ease. Everyone commented on how easy going he was and how easy it was to take his directions. The main difference was Matt's composition. He captured some dynamic shots. As we know we're always after the "money shot" and if you can get one in a shoot you're doing well. In this shoot Matt was able to deliver numerous money shots. I would recommend Matt for any photography shoot and a quick look on his website will show you how diverse his talent is.Thank you so much for your great work Matt!!!!

If you are thinking of joining Matt for one of his workshops, then do it! Matt is an enthusiastic teacher who manages to get some tricky concepts off in a fun and simple way. Your photos will never look better. I joined him for the September 2019 Bright Boot Camp and learned so much. And I came away with some photos that I had never dreamed that I would create!

Did a night workshop with Matt. After years with a camera in my hands, there's still so much in books to learn. I suspect Matt's written a few of those books. Learned heaps, and enjoyed Matt's approach.
Mitch Rafferty
20:54 01 Dec 19
Matt’s workshop was a fantastic balance between the technical aspects of photography and an insight as to how a professional creates composition. More than enough time with each individual for questions, tips based on your subject interest etc. Certainly can recommend the Travel and Street course for any intermediate level photographer.

I had a one on one session with Matt and learnt so much from him. Very very knowledgeable and great at explaining everything. Made the session very causal and covered everything plus more that I asked to cover. Couldn’t of asked for anymore. Thank you Matt and look forward to learning more from him. Highly recommended

I did Matt's Night workshop in July 2019. Matt has a great manner, and in a friendly and chatty way takes the mystery of photography away and helps you take better photos. Not only did he talk to us about composition, exposure compensation, light trails, star bursts, and tricksy shots, he also had laminated cards with points for us to take away so we can use them later. This was easy for me as a beginner to get my head around and Matt offered hands on help and great advice. He also seems to know how every camera works so even when I didn't know how to work my camera he did. I'm sure I'll do more of these workshops. Thanks

Highly recommend Matt for his photography training and advice for business and corporate applications of all types. He specifically assisted me in setting up cosmetic facial and dental photography systems for my business. He is a great communicator, very easy to get along with and has great knowlege in his field including up to date knowledge of the latest equipnent available.

I have now done three workshops with Matt Krumins. He is so personable and passionate when teaching his photographic workshops ... informative, beneficial and always encouraging, whether a beginner, somewhere in between or near enough pro level photographer.

I've attended two workshops with Matt now, and each time I've walked away with new skills and feeling more confident about my photography. He is a very patient teacher, who caters to all levels of experience. Whether you are a beginner, or you have some photography experience, you'll walk away from a session having learnt something new, and having had fun doing it.

In preparation for my forthcoming African safari Matt took me to the zoo. I was very pleased that he had "listened to me" and focussed on the areas I had particularly wanted. In addition, Matt gave very good specific and general advice with good clear explanations and visual prompts. I got a lot out of the 3 hour one on one session.
Rhiana Barrington

I've gone on a workshop with Matt and even though I've used my camera quite a bit over the last few years, he taught me a lot. I've also done his beginner lightroom course and plan on doing the advanced in the next few weeks. I highly recommend Matt Krumins Photography for anyone wanting to learn how to get out of "Auto" mode and use their camera to its potential.

After trying to figure things out for myself and watching countless Youtube tutorials, I finally took the plunge and did the beginners workshop with Matt. I was blown away with how Matt can break it down and simplify things for us beginners. In 3 hours I learned so many great tips on using my camera and am now more confident in being able to take great photos. I'll definitely be doing some more workshops - thanks Matt!

Have been taking photos for years, but went on Matt's recent Beginners workshop at the zoo. Learnt a lot about camera techniques to improve my photos and came away feeling much more confident about my camera skills. Am looking forward to attending the next level of workshops. I definitely recommend the workshop to those who want to move away from 'automatic and semi-automatic mode'. Thanks muchly Matt.

Your a genius Matt! Your enthusiasm for your chosen lifestyle is to be commended. I had a great time on Friday learning how to further improve my camera skills, taking good photos and meeting new friends. I especially enjoyed the time where you sat with the group explaining the finer points of photography before putting it all into practice. And to all of the older generation that might get the opportunity to read this feedback"Old age is just a barrier, not an obstacle." Looking forward to our next adventure Matt!

I had an absolutely fantastic afternoon. I felt reenergised and inspired to enjoy my photography again after being stuck in a rut. Matt is a fabulous teacher, full of enthusiasm for his craft and very professional. I think the note cards that he gives out at his workshops are the best I have seen, short and concise. I have done many photography workshops and I would put my one with Matt at one of the best. Infact I want to do another!

I attended the Street and Travel photography course run by Matt as a gift from my children. I have been a keen amateur photographer from my teens and learnt lots of new things from Matt - including composition techniques and technical aspects of my camera . Matt has a great style ensuring concepts were easily understood and providing practical tips to improve my photography. The group size is small enough (we had 5 of the 6 normal class size) to receive one on one attention and also make connections with like minded people. The locations were well chosen and time frame perfect. Highly recommended.
Rach Wong

Matt's workshop was excellent, set in the wonderful surrounds of Melbourne Zoo. Matt patiently assisted me to find some confidence in moving from 'Auto' and experimenting with 'Program'. His explanations and analogies were simple and clear - and delivered with a sense of humour! I have since been putting into practice what I learnt, with some very pleasing results! Thanks Matt!

My concerns about being a novice were swept away in a few minutes. I learned things from Matt in the first 15 mins to make a significant difference to how I will approach taking photos on my next trip. I know how to work and understand my camera so much more effectively. Also given many tips on choosing an artistic perspective. Matt also adjusted my settings to alleviate some challenges I have been having....so no more "mum" photos for me!

It was my first workshop with Matt. The advanced wildlife workshop yesterday. Well I must say a huge Thank you to you Matt. I learned heaps. Being my first trial of my 100-400 lens. Wow!!! Not only did Matt know my camera and the lens, he gave me such great tips of how to use it converting my tripod to a monopod. Lots of great tips. Mostly shooting in A priority. Was great. I think I have some good pics. Will put it up on his group site when I get to them. Looking forward to my next workshop with him. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to learn about wildlife. He was patient and each of us got a lot of his attention. The only downside, the time flew by. Wish it was longer.

I had a 3hr private workshop with Matt. It was great to have the workshop at the location where I do most of my client's photography work. We could discuss the environment's pros and cons and how I can create some control in my working environment. Matt's workshop enabled me to develop my beginner skills and address specific areas that were a bit fuzzy and needed clarifying! Matt also introduced to me helpful tools, notes and the opportunity to have a go at using an off-camera flash which was awesome. Highly recommend Matt! He is a wonderful teacher which makes a world of difference! Thanks Matt!
Michael Stephens
11:12 07 Mar 19
**HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** Matt teaches easily and clearly. He teaches at a pace that everyone can learn at and asking questions is recommended so don't hold back when learning. The course groups are small which is great for a more personalised and connective experience.

My son gave me Matt's Advanced Lightroom workshop for Christmas. What a Christmas present. I have been a Lightroom user for some years but I hadn't unlocked its true capabilities. Matt sure did that for me. His style is friendly and understandable and he took us through some previously unknown to me advanced functions which are eminently useful to all Lightroom users. All backed up with printed notes for the forgetful ones like me. Totally recommended.
Brian Willis
23:44 05 Mar 19
I have now completed two Lightroom workshops with Matt. These were the Beginners Lightroom Workshop (done online) and recently the Advanced Lightroom Workshop (completed as a 3-hour classroom session). Matt is a very good teacher and his knowledge of Lightroom is really excellent.The classroom workshop involved a small group, and this ensured more than adequate one-on-one time. If you have decided to make the leap into Lightroom like I have done then I would strongly recommend these two Lightroom courses with Matt.

Had a great time with a nice small group roaming the alleyways of Melbourne. Matt took the time to go through the basics in detail and built on that nicely. Great of him to check with each person that they understood and knew how to help with each camera. Definitely recommend his courses to help build your skills!

Had my first photography workshop with Matt last night and it was excellent! His approachable and easy-going personality makes you feel comfortable to ask for help and advice on how to improve your photography. He simplifies more tricky/detailed photography terms with the use of memorable metaphors and analogies, which gives you the ability to learn fast and reutilise the techniques in the future. I highly recommend attending his workshops whether you are at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level.

Just completed the night time photography course and absolutely loved it! Matt is a walking book of knowledge on photography .As a novice he was able to provide me easy to follow instructions to get the results I wanted. I now have the confidence to use different functions and settings, rather than being the Queen of auto .Thanks Matt! Highly recommend to photographers of any experience levels

I went along to the Wednesday morning Zoo workshop with Matt and it was fantastic. I learnt more in that three hours than I have reading my instruction manual. It also gave me the confidence to try other programs on my camera. Matt was always happy to answer questions and to give advice which I really appreciated. I intend to go along to a couple more of his workshops. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Matt to anybody who is wanting to learn more about their camera. Thank you Matt for such a fun and interesting day.

Was a really great experience. I learnt a lot and was finallt able to learn how to use manual settings, including changing brightness and warmth of photos, as well as learning how much difference black and white makes to photos. I was very happy with how the photos came out and I will continue to use what I learned.

Matt’s beginner workshop at the zoo was so insightful. We learnt a few things about light and colours that made a massive difference to my photography. Matt was very knowledgeable of all the different cameras in the group and explained everything so clearly. I can’t wait to do another workshop with Matt.

Matt is experienced, funny and clever. I am certain I have walked away from his class with the information I need. Highly recommend to anyone. He even has aftercare.

I've done both the Travel and Street Photography and the Real World Portraits workshops. They are both very good and different enough that its well worth doing both. Travel and Street has a bit more emphasis on camera settings and some techniques and composition whilst Portraits is much more about composition and choosing subjects. I thoroughly enjoyed both and learnt a lot.

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. Highly recommend!

Matt is a great teacher and mentor. I attended his beginner zoo, street photography and Melbourne by night workshops in one weekend and learnt so much. Matt helped me thru the technical points of my camera which I was bogged down with and helped me to simply things when taking pictures. I definitely will be back for more workshops.

Yesterday I attended a Beginners Workshop at Melbourne Zoo and it was a very interesting and fun three hours. With Matt's knowledge and encouragement, I was soon learning many new photo taking techniques with my Canon camera that resulted in quite a few impressive photos. I would highly recommend this course.

I've been to three of Matts workshop now and they have all been great. Started with a wildlife workshop where we practised the theory on the animals. Lots of laughs and whoops I missed it ... practice : ) Then a light shop workshop, really great start up info, very glad I went before going to far down the lightroom track, then lastly street photography. I wanted to challenge myself and step outside of my comfort zone and Matt sure did provide some challenges for me but also helped me to see things in a different way. Totally worth while and highly recommended. Go on have a go

Matt has a real gift for sharing his extensive knowledge in an easily understandable way. Despite years of experience in photography I learnt a great deal and came away with some great photos. Would definitely recommend Matt's tutorials to anyone with an interest in learning more about their camera or photography in general.

09:56 28 Oct 18
What a fantastic experience! The knowledge of photographic techniques and how to get the best from our cameras provided by Matt was exceptional. He made it easy to learn the basics and was always there to give us tips and answer questions. We learnt so much within the first 1/2hour tutorial and so much more throughout the workshop. I can't wait to sign up for another workshop with Matt. Thank you so much for giving us that confidence and knowing we can expand our horizons in the field of photography. Very highly recommended!

I’ve completed my first workshop for beginners at Melbourne Zoo, I found the workshop very helpful for getting to know my camera/lenses better! I really liked how the group was limited to only 6 people so that we could all have one on one time with Matt! Have booked myself in for the Travel & Street workshop and Melbourne by Night!

Another workshop today with Matt, Seascapes on the Mornington Peninsula. Matt never disappoints, learnt heaps, and a great day with a group of lovely people with the same enthusiasm. I cannot rate these workshops highly enough!I have now done 3 of Matt's workshops and also the Intro and Advanced Lightroom. There's a reason I keep coming back! Matt is incredibly patient and explains technical stuff in an easy to understand manner with great analogies. I would highly recommend anyone who is vaguely interested in learning a bit more about how to get more out of your camera and photography skills to book into a workshop. You won't be disappointed. The only disappointing thing for me is the time goes too fast! Looking forward to booking into more of these workshops.

Yesterday I took part in Matt’s advanced zoo workshop. This is the third hands on photography course I have done with Matt and yet again I left having learnt so much about my camera settings and how to be a better photographer. Matt’s method of teaching is hands on and he is able to explain the complex and make it understandable to even the most novice photographer. I would recommend his courses to anyone looking to improve their photography in a fun and enjoyable environment

Thanks for a fun morning.

I attended Matt’s advanced Zoo workshop today and it was great. I learnt a lot about some of the more finer details of camera settings to get a great shot, Matt has a great way of teaching that is not only fun but very easy to follow and understand. I have been on a few of Matt’s workshops and highly recommend them - he is a great teacher and I guarantee you will have a great day

I spent a few hours with Matt going over how to use Program, Aperture and Shutter modes; histogram and how to read it; focus options on camera; generally getting to know my camera and functions better. He’s a great teacher - listening skills, reflective comment, manages expectations of what can be achieved in a session, summarises what we’ve covered. Learnt a lot and appreciated him taking notes which he forwarded post session. Hard to find a photographer with such proficiency in both the technical as well as teaching ability.
Marilyn Norris

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.

Four workshops completed with Matt and each time i come away with a smile on my face and with more knowledge and confidence. My photos have improved tenfold with Matt's assistance. Matt's style is the attraction, great simple analogues, step by step processes, and a supportive and cheerful method to reinforce the message. My highest recommendation, oh and best of all, a lot of fun.

I’ve just returned from spending an amazing week in Bright completing Matt’s Photography Bootcamp. I signed up to go to push myself outside my comfort zone with my photography and Matt delivered time and time again. We had a small group with various camera’s and skill levels. Matt led us through theory, practical demonstrations, editing and lots and lots of discussions on many varying subjects over the week. The days were long but so fulfilling I can’t emphasise how much I learnt and Matt’s patience and ability to relate to us all (and our camera’s) was enlightening.I can’t recommend how much you can learn from Matt and am looking forward to expanding my skills under Matt’s wonderful tutelage.5 star +++++++
Andrew Thompson
12:29 14 May 18
I have just had the pleasure of spending the last week in Bright with Matt and a group of great people, I have always wanted to visit Bright in Autumn and it did not disappoint.The boot camp didn’t disappoint either, the knowledge and experiences that Matt shared with us along with his ability to explain things to us in ways that people of different knowledge levels could easily understand and work with was exceptional. His patience, commitment and enthusiasm is second to none.I would recommend Matt’s workshops and boot camps to anyone and everyone no matter what your level of experience. If you have a camera and enjoy using it get onto one of these workshops, you will not be disappointed.

Attended Matt’s zoo workshop yesterday, having little to no idea what to do with my camera outside of “auto” mode. Left feeling much more comfortable changing exposure settings, and knowing how to make my photos appear clearer and warmer, and just, well, better! Matt has a great approach to teaching, and I’m already signed up for another workshop with him next week!

I did Matt's zoo workshop over the weekend and I have learnt so much within those 3 hours. 'If you have learnt at least 3 things in one day, then it's a good day!' And sure enough with Matt's help and guidance I learnt many more than 3. Hes very patient and willing to help everybody no matter how silly the question may sound. I had a great day at the zoo, and will most definitely be booking another workshop!

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. I feel so much better equipped for my next overseas trip!"

01:07 12 Apr 18
I am so happy I done this! I knew nothing about anything and Matt taught me a lot with out being to complicated. He’s teaching skills are very clear and he is patient also so friendly and has such a positive attitude. Along with his knowledge of how the animals will behave it makes a great day out to get some really good shots. I would recommend this to anyone and it would make a great gift. After the class I stayed at the zoo and had some lunch and time to myself.

I did Matt's Zoo photography class yesterday and had a wonderful time. Im a complete beginner and Matt was fantastic! He explains things so easily that it makes great sense and then kindly shows you n doesn't make you feel like a fool. I learned heaps as his class sizes ate small and I already hv photos that I'm proud of! I'll definitely be doing some more classes with Matt and highly recommend him. Thanks immensely Matt for a great day 😊

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! B

Thanks Matt for a great morning learning more about photography at Melbourne Zoo last weekend! Matt has a wonderful teaching style and the small group (6 people) meant he was able to make time to give us all individual feedback. He has obviously put a lot of time and effort into preparing the workshop to create key focus areas of learning, complimented by some great printed material to review later. 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 would highly recommend Matt’s courses to friends and family.

The Zoo Workshop was a brilliant class for our work group (ranging from absolutely beginners to those with a basic understanding of manual settings). Matt's explanations and instructions were very clear and easy to understand (and remember!). Afterwards, every participant said they felt not only more comfortable with a camera but genuinely excited to take more photos. I felt Matt went above and beyond with a highly personalised approach and I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skills or clear a particular photography hurdle.

Thanks Matt for a great waterfall workshop. You were wonderful at sharing your knowledge and very attentive with helping each individual. Three of us had Olympus cameras and one person had a Cannon camera. This did not present a problem for you. I've attached a photo as an example of the photos I was able to produce. Once again thank you for being very encouraging. I also loved that you were able to teach us a few tricks with taking black and white photos with each camera. The day was 38 degrees but good fun. I can thoroughly recommend this workshop.

Attended the Zoo photo session on weekend - small group so had the chance to interact with Matt 1 on 1 throughout the session . As a true photography novice this opportunity was pure gold ! We all learnt a valuable tips to improve our pictures immediately - and put that into practise as we toured the zoo! I took some great shots !Matt is an engaging and knowledgable tutor , and I highly reccomend his sessions - i know I will be taking another Bev

Photography – 5 star22 January 2018 08:18amJust completed Matts Zoo Photographic course on Saturday. Matt has a very natural, patient and easy way to explain all the "technical" items he talks about. Plus what a great environment to learn more about your camera and some of those settings. Now just need to practice and practice, and we have great take-home notes to refresh at any time.

Booked in for the Waterfalls Tour with Matt and as our day got closer, Matt suggested we might prefer to change the date due to forecast bad weather. Matt was most accommodating with selecting another date and we were pleased we made the change because we had a wonderful day with good weather. I think it helped to make our learning more focused, rather than having to contend with weather conditions as well. Matt's style of teaching has an undercurrent of structure but he is so flexible and is happy to make changes to his plans. I feel as though I learnt so much from him and he made it fun and gave us different options to try. Even whilst travelling in the van to and from our destination we were learning - all in a fun environment. Because of the small numbers in the group we all got a lot of individual attention, plus the fact that Matt doesn't take the opportunity to make it a photo day for himself like a lot of other photographers do. The option to be part of the "after workshop group" and tutorials that Matt provides is another plus. Along with a great sausage sizzle, what more could we want? Well done Matt and thank you again for a fabulous day.

This was a fantastic introduction to Lightroom. A small group experience with a good mixture of explanation and demonstration followed up by your own application on your computer. My partner and I shared our computer and were both fully engaged for the whole 3 hours. Matt's approachable style is fantastic and he connects with people quickly and easily. I recommend this as a value for money workshop and we will be back to do the advanced course when we consolidate what we learned last night. Thanks again Matt.

My wife booked me a photography workshop with Matt at the Melbourne Zoo. To be honest I was not sure what to expect but it was a gift so I went. When the workshop was finished I telephoned my wife and expressed my sincere gratitude as the workshop totally exceeded my expectations and I'll even go as far as saying it was one of the best I've done and well, I have done quite a few. I usually photograph landscapes, that's been my comfort zone. Matt was extremely generous with his time and was able to impart his knowledge in a matter that didn't make you feel stupid. No question was left unanswered. I'll certainly be doing more workshops with Matt and am absolutely rapt to have made the connection with him.
Yvonne Schneider

The workshop was a gift and it was great. It was informative, with a hands on approach. The group was small, which allowed for lots of questions and attention. Matt was very helpful with tips and advice on how to best take the photo in certain settings. Would recommend this workshop.

I got gifted the Zoo Workshop for Christmas and found Matt to be really easy going and explained everything in simple understandable terms. If you don't get it one way, he'll explain another way, he really makes the effort to have you knowing what your doing so you're not just stood guessing whilst everyone else is taking fab pictures. The groups are small and usually have people of varying abilities but everyone gets the information they need and Matt makes sure to see everyone individually at some point too, giving critique and advice on their photos taken. I've since gone back and done two more workshops with Matt. He runs the most affordable, fun, friendly and informative workshops I have found. Looking forward to working my way through more workshops!

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!

Thanks Matt for yesterday Sunday 2nd Oct at the Melbourne Zoo. You explained every thing in language to me that l understand no technical talk that l have no idea what you are talking about. We ask questions and you answered and gave us lots of different idea on how to get better photos. All the very best with your business and l will be certainly doing more workshops with you in the future. I will also be recommending you to anyone who wants to learn photophagy and about their camera. I think you already have 2 friends going to one at the end of the month as FB was running hot last night. Once again thank you. Merilyn.

Great price point; great training; but most of all the courses are with someone who is passionate about his training and is not just doing it for the money - and is very hands-on and helps you apply what is being taught.Only done 1 workshop, bit very happy and have so many friends that have completed classes and are just as pleased.Above ground or below ground (underwater) photography, Matt your man to do a course with.

Matt is an extremely talented, young photographer and has a natural aptitude for passing his wealth of knowledge to photographers of all standards. His photography makes mundane scenes extraordinary. A huge amount of thought and organisation has gone into each of his courses, which means students get the most out of the day. I have already learnt so much from the 2 courses I have attended, and would recommend him to anybody.

I did Matt’s Seascape and Piers workshop and learnt so much from him. He limits this workshop to a small group, so I got one-on-one attention for a lot of the time. He is very practical and pitched his input to suit my existing level of knowledge and to address my problem areas. If you want to improve your photography, then this is for you. Great experience and also very enjoyable.

Matt was patient, informative, and helps me re-think quite a few things about photography. I highly recommend going along and taking part in one of his workshops. I attended the City-Walk one and it was a blast.

Matt's passion is what struck me first. He genuinely loves taking photos and genuinely loves sharing his knowledge with others. His relaxed, approachable style - backed by a wealth of knowledge - gives you confidence to ask even seemingly simple questions (why is that weird icon flashing on my camera?). In addition, his ability to challenge and inspire me was welcome (what about this? try this) when I found myself faced with a scene and stuck for ideas on where to start. In addition, his ongoing constructive critiques of my shots helped my photography develop throughout the day. He even politely asked my permission to be tough on a couple (go for it Matt) and suggested a change of lens to improve the composition. The suggestion worked. I could see the improvement on my computer from first shot to last when I got home. Great workshop, Matt. Keep it up. I'll be back for more soon.

I've done the Zoo and Seascape workshops and Matt explains everything simply and clearly. He is very friendly and approachable when you need help and also gives you some time to choose your own shot. The written guides were very informative and focused on the main skills for that genre. Great workshops.

After years of taking photos i thought i would get some expert help. Matt's course on underwater photography was excellent. Focussed on the practical aspects along with the right theory to build the understanding of why. An enjoyable course and has certainly improved both the photos and my enjoyment levels.

I have attended both the Zoo Workshop and Lightroom 101 course run by Matt. He makes the experience fun and explains everything very simply with no jargon, so even a beginner gains a lot of knowledge from him. Matt is a very friendly, easy-going person who never makes you feel that any question you might ask is silly. I am keen to attend more of his courses. I highly recommend Matt Krumins Photography if you want to have fun and learn lots at the same time.

Matt's zoo workshop was fabulous. There was only 6 of us on this course and Matt made himself available to each of us, regardless of our level of expertise. I really absorbed and practised the settings Matt talked me through and went home with some amazing photographs. This course showed me some brilliant techniques. I recommend it highly.

Matt Krummins is a very talented and knowledgeable photographer who not only teaches you how to take better pictures but how to use your camera to see the world from different perspectives. Matt provides instruction in a patient and friendly manner and as his groups are small, is able to take the time to be responsive to individual learning needs. I have done both group and one on one workshops with him and have benefited greatly from the experience. If you have any interest in photography, regardless of your skill level or brand/type of camera, Matt's courses are an excellent and enjoyable use of your time.

Have now completed 7 workshops with Matt. Why do I keep coming back - well its simple, I feel I am a better photographer for wisdom that Matt gives in the huge variety of workshops. Just completed an Advanced Lightroom Online Workshop over 3X 2 hour sessions complete with access to in-depth tutorial sessions. Matt has such an entertaining and encouraging manner in the way he delivers all of his diverse workshops. His knowledge on so many different camera systems is mind - blowing. Access to all of the additional on-line tutorials; his own personal contact when I need individual assistance; and, participation in regular no cost webinars, are just added levels of support he provides. As a member of Matt's Mob, a Facebook Collective for all of his past participants, I get insight in others photography, a supportive membership of like minded people willing to provide constructive critique and support. I highly recommend Matt Krumins Photography to any one who wants to improve their photography.

Just did a Composition on line course with Matt. The course was great & doing it on line was a bit different but I must say very well handled by Matt. I learnt a few more techniques that I'll be able to put to good use once lockdown ends.

Currently I am doing Matt's workshop on composition. Now I thought I had a pretty good understanding of composition... but it appears not. In just one session and a bit of 'homework' I have changed my thinking on how to compose an image. Matt has a great teaching style he makes it easy to learn, is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend his courses both online (and workshops, when we can get out and about again). Thanks Matt for sharing your knowledge

I completed part one of the Advanced Lightroom course today via the new format of the online interactive mode and can't recommend it highly enough. I was a little worried about how I would be able to manage the online format instead of in person, but it was fantastic. I was able to do everything on my own computer, follow the session well, ask questions and all without leaving the comfort of home. A great course, wonderful instructor and slippers on my feet. What more could you want?😊

Experienced Matt’s online Advanced Lightroom course in lieu of the original face to face training course due to the current social isolation. Was initially sceptical whether the online format would be as beneficial as the classroom training, however I was very impressed with the delivery and the way Matt ensured we understood the content. He demonstrated each of the various Lightroom steps on the screen and checked for feedback before moving onto the next topic. He displayed a thorough knowledge of Lightroom and also provided access to other relevant material. He invited participants to contact him directly by phone or email if they required any further clarification on topics. I couldn’t fault the course or the manner in which it was delivered, highly recommend it for anyone wanting to improve their photo auditing skills.

I did the travel and street photography workshop and It was way better than I expected. Matt definitely knows all camera brands and was a big help for me as I am still getting used to my new camera. I learnt way more than I thought I would in a 3 hour workshop. I will be booking one of the other classes for sure.

I attended Matt’s workshop on speed lighting 14th March and his Bright boot camp in Bright, September last year. Highly recommend Matt’s workshops, a dedicated professional teacher. Very thorough and brings a sense of fun to learning. I always come away knowing I have learnt something else. In particular in these times of worries about the dreaded virus, Matt offers calmness and sensibly to keep enjoying the activities we enjoy. Thanks Matt.

Matt puts over the essentials in an easy to understand way. I have done UK O level photography in the past - like the distant past - now I know how digital photography has changed the game. Well worth a morning at the Zoo and being able to get expert advice on the spot.
Greg Hill

I have just done Matt’s Beginners Lightroom course and can not recommend it highly enough. Lightroom is something that I have struggled with for a few years and just could not grasp the basics. They way Matt breaks it down and the friendly, informative way it was presented, all suddenly started to make sense. Matt could not of been any more helpful and displays an outstanding knowledge of the subject. It was my first course with Matt but certainly won’t be my last. Looking forward to doing more of the wide range of course he offers.

Hey Matt, Fantastic basic course and great instructual technique. Learnt so much in that 3 hours. I am amazed at your knowledge of the different cameras that everybody was using. I was not aware of half the buttons on my camera and lens. Now is pracyice time. Highly reccomend the beginners class for anyone who wants to improve their photos and wants to move on from the "auto point and shoot" settings. You are one hell of a great instructor.

I have had 2 x 2 hour private sessions with Matt and they have been fantastic! Matt was very patient with me, covering a wide range of subjects from how to use my new filters, tripod and other gadgets, recommending useful equipment and sending through links for ease of purchasing, explaining Lightroom and giving lots of technical tips for producing a better shot. He also let me video him explaining equipment set ups and other practical concepts. Matt is a friendly guy who genuinely wants to help. I am sure I will be back for another session as being shown one-on-one is the best way for me to learn.
Bianca Romero

I did my first workshop today and I absolutely loved it! Matt explained things very clearly using simple and relatable analogies. He is very approachable making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I learnt heaps of new things and I cannot wait to practice them! Also can’t wait to register for another workshop!! Highly recommend!

Attended the Advanced Wildlife Photography at the Melbourne Zoo with Matt and had a great experience. Matt's passion for photography is infectious. I gained more knowledge in the 3 hours spent with Matt than I have in a long time. Matt delivers easy to grasp concepts in an engaging and fun style. I had a ball and the laminated cards are very handy 👍
Simon Hearn
04:21 18 Jan 20
Matt is very knowledgeable and has an easy message method on confusing topic. I came away with a better idea of what I needed to do to help myself. He provided a convenient set of tips on laminated cards as a takeaway support tool. Best thing was his help on settings for my camera; but he seemed to know enough on all the makes and models in our group. Highly recommended.

01:11 12 Jan 20
I attended Matt's Real World Portraits workshop yesterday and it was fantastic! Matt is extremely knowledgeable and able to share his knowledge in a simple and easy to remember way. I found Matt's style to be very engaging and heaps fun making the entire group feel at ease and up for the challenge of getting up and personal with our subjects. The group size is kept small deliberately which was great as I had heaps of 1:1 advice from Matt, not just technical but also how best to compose your shot or how to better it next time. All in all a great workshop and I will certainly be back for more.

Amanda Brown
04:36 15 Dec 19
Fab morning learning how to use my camera. First hour was explaining how to change settings and reasons to or not to and numerous other things. Matt explained how to change and when to use these settings which helped my photo's no end. ( I don't do manuals) 😀 . Matt was patient with us newbies and easy to listen to. For beginners this is the Workshop for you to start your journey into the world of photography. Thanks for a great morning Matt.

Matt’s workshop was a fantastic balance between the technical aspects of photography and an insight as to how a professional creates composition. More than enough time with each individual for questions, tips based on your subject interest etc. Certainly can recommend the Travel and Street course for any intermediate level photographer.

I took the Beginners at the Zoo workshop with Matt. Matt explained the different basic concepts in a way which made it easy to understand. He knew my camera like the back of his hand as well as everybody else's. The group was a nice small group so Matt had plenty of time to spend time with everyone. I learnt a lot during the workshop. Totally recommend !!
Mabel Quai Hoi
04:49 30 Nov 19
I completed the Beginner’s course at Melbourne Zoo this morning and it was truly worth it! Matt’s teaching style is simple, he uses everyday examples and language rather than the typical photography language. This made it easy to grasp concepts and then I was able to continue on around the zoo on my own and practice what I learned in this course. I plan on continuing my lessons with Matt in the near future.

I did the UW photography course with Matt and took some amazing info away from it. He takes the time to explain the concepts in language that is easily understood and gave me a really good appreciation for how to make good shots great.. Can't wait to put it into practice in the next few weeks while travelling!
Nicole Andrews

Matt is an absolute gem of a teacher. He made the concepts easy to understand and helped us click some amazing photos. In addition, his classes are fun and irrespective of your camera, he knows his way around to help you get that perfect setting.Would definitely recommend others to attend his workshops and 10/10 would attend more of his workshops. Thank you so much once again!

I did my second course with Matt over the weekend - the “Travel & Street Workshop”, having done the beginner workshop at the zoo last year. This was a fantastic afternoon mixing some theory with practical feedback, learning some very cool things to be more creative with shots along the way. I had bought a voucher for my dad to do this workshop and decided to join him and once again was so impressed with Matt’s patience and communication style for all levels of capability with the camera. I think my dad and I are both hooked and will be booking on more courses with Matt in the future.
Nicole Arnold
22:26 02 Oct 19
I attended the beginners workshop at the zoo 2 months ago and I learned much more than I expected to. Matt covered a great range of topics and my photography has really improved since implementing his tips and tricks. Matt knew an incredible amount about our different cameras and he had plenty of time to support us 1:1. I highly recommend Matt's workshops to anyone wanting to move beyond the Auto and Scene functions of their camera, whether you're on a little compact like me or have larger SLR camera with interchangeable lenses. Thanks for a great day!
Nora Looby
05:52 17 Sep 19
Matt was very welcoming & his teaching methods were straightforward. I felt a little out of my depth going to the Speedlight class but all topics were very well explained & Matt offered fantastic guidance. Highly recommend going along as you won’t regret it!

Have been taking photos for years, but went on Matt's recent Beginners workshop at the zoo. Learnt a lot about camera techniques to improve my photos and came away feeling much more confident about my camera skills. Am looking forward to attending the next level of workshops. I definitely recommend the workshop to those who want to move away from 'automatic and semi-automatic mode'. Thanks muchly Matt.

Matt’s night workshop is great for beginners. He takes the mystery and difficulty out of photography, gives you practical and helpful hints (and cards so you can remember them) and actively helps you instead of standing by and watching. Additionally he seems to know how every camera works so even if you don’t it’s okay because he does. Thanks Matt.

As someone who has spent most of their time photographing wildlife, I decided to join Matt on a Peninsula seascapes workshop to learn new techniques and approaches to this different type of photography. Matt was very attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. He was able to tailor his tuition to my level of experience. I gained new skills, and importantly, got some great shots from the day!

23:54 23 Jun 19
I had previously attended Matt’s Travel and Street photography and Real world portraits workshops both of which were hugely beneficial! The most recent addition was a 3 hour 1 on 1 workshop with Matt to recap and cover off ideas for an upcoming trip to Sri Lanka. Matt is incredibly patient and a great teacher and has an ability to be able to explain complex explanations in a way that is easily relatable and you will remember.The 1 on 1 workshop allowed me to ask as many questions as possible. I also had the opportunity to explore filters and Speed lighting which I had never even considered before.Would highly recommend Matt’s workshops he goes above and beyond for each and every one of his students !

The beginners workshop at the Zoo was fantastic. Matt is great at breaking things down and helping you understand ‘how and where' to start with your camera. Matt provides great analogies along the way and has an easy and approachable manner. Definitely time well spent and the perfect introduction. Thanks Matt – will definitely be looking at workshops in the future after lots more practice!

Had a great day in Melbourne today on the Travel and Street Photography Workshop. Matt's teaches photography in a way that made it easy to remember what I had learnt - the laminated cheat sheets will help.

I attended the Travel and Street Photography Workshop with Matt. What a fantastic workshop! It was very informative, hands-on and engaging. Matt is a great teacher – easy-going with a wealth of knowledge that he is only too happy to share. He is patience, clear in his instructions and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend Matt’s workshops and would love to do another course in the near future.

had an awesome morning with Matt at the zoo yesterday. his thorough knowledge about photography on all levels was evident . he explained everything on a level that everyone was able to understand. I learnt so much about not only taking great shots but also much more about my own camera. Enjoyed the workshop and look forward to taking advantage of all the extra online support offered post workshop.

01:59 12 Apr 19
I completed a one-to-one workshop with Matt. Totally tailored to my own goals and camera. Matt is easy to build a rapport with and great at explaining some technical terms and techniques without using fancy words. Matt provided some tip sheets and small laminated cards to help me remember everything and he also created a document tailored to my camera as a great reminder of the functions. It’s been almost a month since I had my workshop and I love the photos I have been taking. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Matt and I look forward to joining some more workshops when I have a bit more free time.

I had a great time on Matt's Travel & Street Workshop! I have often found the photography community a little difficult to navigate at times and Matt was warm and welcoming! No question was too silly and he really pushed you out of your comfort zone. Looking forward to joining other workshops soon!
Serena Jensen

Matt is a great teacher, super generous with his knowledge, easy to understand, relatable and most of all a nice person! I got some amazing shots and bumped my skills up a few notches. Would definitely recommend Matt’s courses to any budding photographers out there - do yourself a favour, you won’t regret it!
Michael Asmar
04:16 31 Mar 19
I attended the beginners course at Melb Zoo. I found the course very informative for the following reasons:> Matt has a way of explaining technical jargon in layman’s terms. > Matt breaks down the course into bite size chunks in a very logical order. > well structured so that you can understand key components of any camera such that when you go out and take pics you apply what you have just learned and maximise your cameras settings > Matt spends one on one time with participants in a small group to answer all your questions in full. > gives you instant feedback on your photos so that you can take that pic again with better knowledge 5 out of 5 stars. Great course. I’ll definitely recommend Matt’s course to my friends and family.
Jessica Jane

Matt has a really down to earth approach. He really listens to what you need help with, then offers focused assistance to help you with your camera or any aspect of your photogtaphy. He just makes everything work. Plus, he's fun 🙂

Fantastic, fun afternoon at the Travel and Street Workshop. Matt gave me plenty of advice on how to use the settings on my new camera and I'm left with the confidence to play with them when taking photos.

I attended Matts beginners Lightroom workshop on Tuesday night with a fair bit of trepidation not really knowing what to expect. Matt went though all the techniques of Lightroom without any tech jargon. Matt is great at explaining everything in plain english which is really good. I now have a better understanding of Lightroom and feel I can now start editing my photos.I highly recommend this workshop with Matt.
Caroline Nicolson
01:14 20 Mar 19
I participated in the Beginners Lightroom workshop last night and came away feeling far more confident about using the program and also inspired to work on my Lightroom skills. The group size was small which meant that everyone's needs were met and Matt was extremely patient throughout the session. I would highly recommend this course, even if you have been using Lightroom for a while.
Lee Richardson
21:59 17 Mar 19
What an amazing teacher! I did the Advanced Wildlife Photography Workshop at the Zoo with Matt Krumins and because he makes learning fun, the instructions stayed with me. We had a small group, but I believe that even it it was a large group Matt would find the time to come and give each of us that individual instruction we needed. Matt used 'layman's terms' and gave us options (there was no 'you must use') - the time just went so fast! Thank you for sharing your energy, skills, knowledge and experience.

i had an amazing time yesterday at the travel and street photography workshop.Matt is a very talented and creative man. as a beginner I couldn't believe how much I have learned in only 3 hours. I really liked his approach to photography and how he teaches to see and observe everything around us.I was in a small group of very nice people, so it wasn't crowded and easy to get individual guidelines from Matt.highly recommended guys!

I had a 3hr private workshop with Matt. It was great to have the workshop at the location where I do most of my client's photography work. We could discuss the environment's pros and cons and how I can create some control in my working environment. Matt's workshop enabled me to develop my beginner skills and address specific areas that were a bit fuzzy and needed clarifying! Matt also introduced to me helpful tools, notes and the opportunity to have a go at using an off-camera flash which was awesome. Highly recommend Matt! He is a wonderful teacher which makes a world of difference! Thanks Matt!

My son David, also in the recommendations here, gave me Matt's Advanced Lightroom workshop for Christmas. What a Christmas present. I have been a Lightroom user for some years but I hadn't unlocked its true capabilities. Matt sure did that for me. His style is friendly and understandable and he took us through some previously unknown to me advanced functions which are eminently useful to all Lightroom users. All backed up with printed notes for the forgetful ones like me. Totally recommended.

Matt was helpful and engaged with everyone in the session. This made it easy and enjoyable to learn in the session. He was also very helpful by staying around at the end to answer further questions.

I did the beginners course at the zoo and it was great to learn how some of the basic controls on my camera can make such a difference to the final shot. The small group size made it perfect for learning and Matt really does know his stuff! Looking forward to doing another course with him.

Matt is a fabulous teacher. I recently attended the Street and Travel workshop with Matt, which I loved. I look forward to attending future workshops with Matt. The skills I picked up were invaluable. Matt had laminated cards for us with settings to try, he set challenges for us and the small group size was great for one on one assistance and chats. Matt loves photography and is highly skilled at helping others learn and grow in a fun and relaxed environment. I highly recommend Matt and his workshops. 🙂

I’ve done two classes with Matt and learned so much in both. Really fun, honest and approachable way to get the most out of your camera and subject.

Last night I attended the Introduction course for Lightroom. In spite of the fact that I was using a my wife's Mac which was a pain in the butt for me, I found the course to be first class. Matt was patient and most helpful with a klutz like me. Having worked on PCs for forty years having to do the tutorial on a Mac stretched my patience. I have had Lightroom on my PC for over twelve months and I wish I had done the course when I first loaded it onto the the PC. I intend to do follow up courses with Matt as other family members have had done photography classes with great success.😄

I attended a beginners Lightroom workshop with Matt. Matt explained the basics of Lightroom in a relaxed and highly informative manner. Any doubts I had that this was the right program were dispelled. During the hands on excercises he was quickly able to clarify any dificulties and left me with confidence that I could start to make some great pictures. I would strongly recommend any Lightroom novices to attend Matt's workshop!

Thanks to Matt Krumins, I finally learnt the settings needed and gained the know how to capture the night shots of our city I was so eager to get. Previously, I was frustrated trying to self teach with google haha... I Completed the night time photography workshop Saturday 2 Feb. It was so much fun in a collaborative group and Matt was so informative, down to earth, humorous and adaptive/understanding with beginners... Highly recommended and I look forward to completing further workshops so I can grow my desire to be a hobby photographer.

I went along to the Wednesday morning Zoo workshop with Matt and it was fantastic. I learnt more in that three hours than I have reading my instruction manual. It also gave me the confidence to try other programs on my camera. Matt was always happy to answer questions and to give advice which I really appreciated. I intend to go along to a couple more of his workshops. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Matt to anybody who is wanting to learn more about their camera. Thank you Matt for such a fun and interesting day.

Fabulous workshop at Melbourne Zoo. Can’t recommend Matt highly enough, he made the whole experience less stressful and explained the camera features in a simplified format so it was easy to adapt. The time flew by so I stayed at the Zoo and experimented with my new knowledge.

I couldn’t recommend Matt any more highly!

I joined Matt’s beginners photography class at the Melbourne zoo. I had recently gotten a new camera and was wanting to learn about the cameras basic functions. The class has taught me much more than basic functions and I now feel very confident in using my camera. Matt explains everything in a very simple way and all instructions were very easy to apply. It was a fun day and enjoyed it immensely. I look forward to booking more courses with Matt to learn more about using my camera! Highly recommend!

I would like to recommend Matt Krumins Photography and i am sure words not enough to make it . He is very talented and experienced photographer and his teaching skills and his patient on what he is demonstrating to any level is something so unique. 5/5 and 100% he is a good teacher and human being and treating everyone with respect and giving his full effort to make others dreams come true. He is giving very quick response. sometimes i realised even in the midnight or in between some of his events he is replying.I am so much appreciated your work and looking forward to join 2019 workshops and wishing you very Good Luck !

Matt is one of the nicest people I know and loves to share his knowledge in a very easy to understand manner.His vast experience in photography means he speaks from personal experience.His ability to communicate is startling and can convey complex concepts in a way that is very easy to understand.I only wish he was located in South Australia.

Just completed a Beginner Zoo workshop this morning with Matt. He put me onto Program mode, which I have never considered before. Made capturing that moment faster and with a quick change to the EV the light reading was spot on. A friendly and personable teacher with clear communication skills and a good sense of humour. He demystified all the technical jargon and processes so that we could get onto the pleasure and joy of taking more successful photos.

One comes away from a Matt Krumins Photography workshop feeling so much more confident working with ones own camera & their ability in taking photos, and not just ordinary photos, but works of art, unique for each person. Thank you Matt for your incredible knowledge & insight of photography and your love of it shines through in each workshop you give and each photo you take. Your support is always there and greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have done 2 workshops with Matt, about to do a third, he is so very generous with his knowledge, and so good at explaining. He goes to great lengths to make sure you "get it"! I ran in to Him when he was leading another workshop, he took the time to say Hi and said to put the hood on my lens! he was right!!!! If you have a question, send him a message, he is always happy to help. I cant recommend matt and his courses highly enough, the very first course i did, the beginner at the Zoo one, i switched from Auto to manual modes and ive never once had to switch back!! I learned so much! cheers

Matt has perfected the way of matching just the right amount of humour with a skill lesson to make the information stick long after the class is finished. He is very generous with his knowledge and the workshop participant numbers of 4 or 6 are perfect for one on one attention.Bonus he is equally generous with his time and advice in a private participant FB group.

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!

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.
Ian Roberts

The street and travel workshop gave original insights into creating an interesting image from what could otherwise be a predicable holiday snap. I learnt more ways of setting up the camera. I felt that I gained quite a lot from just 3 hours

Chris Gordon
04:55 16 Nov 18
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 : )

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 Matt

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!

My daughter and I attended the advanced wildlife course at Melbourne Zoo today. Matt is a wonderful instructor, and we came away with so much information as well as fabulous photos.

I’ve completed my first workshop for beginners at Melbourne Zoo, I found the workshop very helpful for getting to know my camera/lenses better! I really liked how the group was limited to only 6 people so that we could all have one on one time with Matt! Have booked myself in for the Travel & Street workshop and Melbourne by Night!
Justine Wolfe
09:39 17 Oct 18
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!

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.
Richard Huggins
08:47 22 Aug 18
Did the Travel and Street Photography workshop today. Learnt a lot about using modern cameras and some nice approaches to composition. All carefully and patiently explained. Also took a lot of photos to illustrate it all. Thanks Matt. I expect to be back.
Neville Steer
09:50 14 Aug 18
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.

Matt's Street Photography workshop is an excellent opportunity to learn load of excellent information and tips that are valuable not only for this style of photography. He introduces the workshop in a very friendly and approachable manner, suggesting how each shot can be composed, highlighted, improved. Now I not simply now more, but I want to practice and put all that knowledge into action. Thank you very much!

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.

Michael Hughes

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.
Naoise Halliday
04:59 19 Jul 18
We did the Seascapes Photography Workshop and had an amazing day learning many exciting new skills. As beginners, Matt explained everything in such a way that was easy to understand and remember. Hoping to do another workshop in the future and very much looking forward to utilising and developing the skills we learnt !Naoise and Jeevan

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!

I recently participated in a Melbourne night photography class with Matt and enjoyed every moment.

I can't wait for an excuse to go back to Melbourne and do another class.

I participated in Matt’s Zoo workshop on Saturday morning. I have done a few of Matt’s workshops and always feel welcomed. Matts small groups encourage an inclusive friendly group and he ensures everyone gets help and learns. I have noticed Matt is able to answer everyone’s questions and has great knowledge about all cameras. Highly recommended

The travel and street workshop was the first of Matt's workshops that I have completed. I found it to be a very valuable experience, with Matt providing useful suggestions on composition, camera settings and 'motion capture'. Matt is a very capable instructor with an ability to simply and clearly explain and demonstrate photographic concepts.

Updating my review - I recently attended Matt's bootcamp in Bright and what a great 5 days it was. So relaxing to learn in this forum as Matt is funny, full of knowledge and really has a way of communicating that makes the complex easier to understand. Will continue to be my "go to" place to learn.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.

I have just spent an awesome afternoon with Matt on the Real Life Portrait workshop. As with the other girls on the workshop I had previously completed one of Matts workshops. Matt has a genuine passion for photography and sharing has knowledge with endless tips to achieve great shots. Love the new take home laminated prompt cards for each technique which will be ideal when I head out on my own, Thanx again Matt,

Had my first photography class with Matt last night capturing the city by night. What an amazing and wonderful learning experience it was. For the first time ever, using my camera in manual settings actually made sense. Matt is incredibly talented in imparting knowledge on something he is passionate about and does it in an extremely patient and friendly manner. Came home on a high and booked another 2 classes. Hope to eventually attend all his workshops.
Kathryn Seamons
06:16 05 May 18
I did Matt’s Zoo workshop this morning, and feel like I now have a much better chance of taking some great photos with appropriate levels of exposure!! Still so much for me to learn in the world of photography, and will definitely be looking at Matt’s other workshops.

I booked Matt for a private photography lesson to help us out at work with bringing our photography in house. 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 love the fact that he is also available to answer any questions I have going forward after the workshop - best service ever!

I did Matt's zoo workshop over the weekend and I have learnt so much within those 3 hours. 'If you have learnt at least 3 things in one day, then it's a good day!' And sure enough with Matt's help and guidance I learnt many more than 3. Hes very patient and willing to help everybody no matter how silly the question may sound. I had a great day at the zoo, and will most definitely be booking another workshop!
Dean Sewell
06:41 15 Apr 18
Yesterday I attended Matt's Zoo Workshop and came away from it having learnt about some valuable functions on my camera and how to apply them to improving my photography. Matt is very approachable, freely shares his wealth of knowledge and caters well for all levels of photography. I would recommend Matt without hesitation and shall be attending other workshops in the future. Thank you Matt 🙂

02:34 12 Apr 18
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. I feel so much better equipped for my next overseas trip!"
Madi Essing
13:30 11 Apr 18
Completed the ‘Travel and Street Photography’ workshop today and it did not disappoint! A range of abilities within our group with a variety of cameras, all of which Matt patiently navigated and assisted with. Learnt a lot more about my camera as well as some great techniques I look forward to utilising when traveling. Thanks Matt!
Ark Lighting
04:10 10 Apr 18
A really beneficial experience and Matt was able to clearly explain how a camera sees images to differently to us. I can now feel far more comfortable using our camera and playing with the settings that I had no idea about prior to Matt's training. The notes Matt provides along the way are great and continue to be an invaluable reference.

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.Thank you for your time, patience and sharing your expertise with us Matt.Donna

Had a great day with Matt on the Peninsula Seascapes workshop today. Matt was really easy going and informative. I really liked his individual interaction with each participant. I certainly learned a lot and cant wait to get out and improve my photography. I enjoyed working with the nd filters and cant wait to get my own. Thanks Matt. Looking forward to the next workshop

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!

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!

Night photography with Matt Krumins in the City of Melbourne was fantastic. Matt's expertise and knowledge where second to none. We learned, experimented and had fun. I look forward sharing another great adventure attending his Street Photography workshop. Thanks Matt.

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. Thanks Matt for reigniting my passion for photography!

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 loved the way Matt 'walked' us through the technical basics, one step at a time - but upped the ante by challenging us to really think about the artistic aspects of taking a good photo.

My work team joined in Matt's Melbourne Zoo workshop and every participant walked away feeling not only more comfortable with a camera, but genuinely excited to take more photos! Matt's explanations were easy to understand (and remember) and we all improved significantly and enjoyed ourselves.He was able to relate the photos we were taking at the Zoo to the photos we needed to take for work, and I would not hesitate in recommending him.

I attended the Lightroom Beginners workshop recently and found it to be extremely helpful, the way Matt explains things makes learning the application easy for all people regardless of your prior knowledge, I would highly recommend his workshops to anyone. I’m now looking forward to the Advanced workshop and the Bright workshop in May.

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.

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!!

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!

My son participated in the Zoo workshop last week and learnt so much. He loved it. Matt's lessons are really well structured and make the whole experience fun and easy! The little card on lighting is really handy.Thank you for your time and commitment.I am very tempted, now, to join my son in another workshop 🙂

Just completed Matts Zoo Photographic course on Saturday. Matt has a very natural, patient and easy way to explain all the "technical" items he talks about. Plus what a great environment to learn more about your camera and some of those settings. Now just need to practice and practice, and we have great take-home notes to refresh at any time.

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.

Thanks Matt for a fabulous Macro workshop at Mt Macedon. I loved the small group size along with the great location. The day had a terrific balance of instruction that catered for all needs and time to perfect your skills and technique with one on one support. Many thanks. Corinne

Hello All. I have just completed the Macro and textures workshop with three other super people. It was such a great investment. I learnt skills with my lens that I have not achieved yet, had a ball, was able to ask questions and had plenty of one on one time. I am very happy with my photos and feel I have improved greatly
Felicity Nagel

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 🙂

Loved the Lightroom course. Matt explained everything so clearly and his offers of continued support via video link up takes the class to the next level. No more frustration when things don’t work properly. I can’t wait to take some of his photography tours. Everything is explained so clearly! Thanks Matt.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. The "theory" was easy to grasp but Matt was very helpful in putting theory to practice. 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.

Thoroughly enjoyed my day at Matt's Street and Travel Workshop today. With zero photography skills I was a bit apprehensive. I have never had a camera off auto. Matt uses simple language and scenarios anyone can understand. Finished the day with enough confidence to try new things and actually understand a few things I could do to improve my photos.Thanks Matt much appreciated

I found the morning workshop with Matt at the Zoo very helpful. Matt is well organised and gave everyone personal attention. I learnt a lot and will definitely be doing more workshops with Matt as soon as I can. It was a great morning, Catherine Carrick

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.

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.

Thanks Matt's for the Night photography class - it was excellent. I learnt a great deal and found how certain camera tricks can spruce up a dull image. The class was enjoyable with a small group size. Matt has a neat way of explaining things and is always ready to help. Highly recommend.

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.

I attended my first ever workshop with Matt today and WOW just WOW. He made sure everything was easy to understand and related everything back to a simple easy remembered topic (fencing palings anyone).The small group atmosphere was awesome. Matt ensured all of us was given one on one time and again he didnt rush or push. He has a wonderful sense of humour and just a down right easy going bloke.I will definately be doing more of Matts workshops. (PS was the best brithday present, thanks kids 🙂 )

I recently did the travel / street photography workshop and last night did the nighttime workshop. Both were extremely useful and I'm learning new things about my camera all the time. Small groups, out and about on the streets and its good fun.

It was great! Moved from automatic to P mode and learned to adjust light, color macro photography and composition by using the lens. Photographed lions in monochrome a 2 year old baboon. The framing made a big difference. Also discovered the Nikon p900 could not take raw files and felt cheated by the store that sold it to me.

Did my first photography workshop ever on Sunday morning at Melbourne Zoo with Matt, and had a amazing time. He is a wonderful and patient teacher, concepts taught are easy to understand, remember and put into practice. No pressure, lots of one on one help when needed and lots of fun. If you are thinking of doing a workshop don't hesitate in joining Matt on one of his, as I know I will be in the future.

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.

Matt has a different apporach in teaching photography,he explain basic concept very detailed and down to bite size.Sometimes,it takes times to relazied my photography is not good enough.Although my original thoughts about street photography are completely different.Matt has opened another door for me.Great three hours,but fruitful.

Really enjoyed the Travel and Street Workshop with Matt. Matt gave thorough instructions without the technical jargon, in a way we could all understand and apply to our photos. I learned so much in 3 hours. Will be applying the tips learned from now on. Highly recommend Matt's workshops and will be attending more! Thanks Matt.

In my professional life my objective is to learn from the absolute best people. I spent three hours with Matt recently preparing for an upcoming dive trip - Matt has the great talent of taking complex topics and explaining them in practical and memorable ways. The processes he has developed to simplify the shooting process are excellent. I walked away extremely happy at having been helped by a master - someone who is the master of their craft but has also mastered the art of teaching it. I'll be taking more workshops with Matt. Thanks.

Enjoyed the afternoon around Melbourne with Matt. Learned a lot of different techniques and simple tricks to make an average photo a great one. Matt follows each of the participants with enthusiasm and give focused advice. It was also incredible to notice details in the streets which are usually lost in a day-to-day commute. Highly suggested experience!

I had excellent afternoon working through the options I had long ignored on my camera. All those buttons and knobs do have a purpose, who would have known ? Melbourne's inclement weather tried to cruel the day with persistent, and at times torrential rain, but it instead threw up some interesting and unique photo opportunities. Thanks Matt for a very informative session, many great tips this novice can now easily apply!
Sally Bell
00:18 13 Sep 17
Did Matt's seascapes workshop followed by the lightroom course. Both were well structured and practical and I felt I had acquired new skills by the end. Matt was friendly and approachable and didn't laugh at any of our dumb questions! He even stopped on the way back from the workshop and bought rice to put my camera in after it got a little wet!
Russell Bell
05:22 12 Sep 17
I attended Matt's beginners Lightroom class last night and found it extremely helpful. I came out with some new skills as well as confirmed what i had learnt before hand. I started taking photos a few months back while off with my second back operation. The small class size was great for getting a little extra help as well making it nice environment to learn. I plan on getting involved with the location photography workshops when the timing is right. Matt made the steps simple and post processing an easier task.

Matt is lovely - he gives some tips and explanation, then lets you actually have the time to try and explore what you want to achieve when it comes to your photos. I really appreciate that he was so flexible in allowing me to alter the booking date - most companies would not be so great about it.I really loved that the tips were easy to digest and apply, and that no question was too silly.Thanks for such a great workshop!

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!

Another very enjoyable course with Matt on Lightroom 101. I had previously done Matt's underwater workshop. His easy going style, backed up with the step by step videos makes this an excellent value course to take. Oh and the red wine helps as well....
Amanda Stuart
23:42 28 Aug 17
I did Matt's Seascape workshop and thoroughly enjoyed the day. 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. And thanks very much for putting me on the Queenscliff ferry Matt - such a nice way to end a great day.

My Son sent me a voucher for the Travel workshop from his workplace in the UK and I wondered why? I had to travel from Canberra to Melbourne and stay a couple of nights to do the workshop! But since I was an "Auto" photographer I learned so much about what I could do to improve my photographs, especially low light photography, that I thought my Son had made a very good decision to buy the voucher. Now to the Aurora Borealis, it will never look so good, I hope.

We had the travel workshop with Matt yesterday and it was brilliant. He knows what he's taking about and explains things in terms it's easy to understand.

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.

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 Michelle

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.

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!
Helen Marriott

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.

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.

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.

Completed the Advanced Underwater photography course with Matt and can thoroughly recommend It. The whole learning experience was enjoyable and Matt has a way of making all aspects of photography easy to understand. Particularly helpful having his experience underwater, showing how to put the theory into practice. Will enjoy putting my new skills to the test!

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.

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 do

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.

what an amazing afternoon we had with Matt doing the street photography. whilst we are not beginners at photography, we came away with another layer of knowledge and insight of how to get 'the shot'. a great way of explaining the settings on your camera, and a very creative approach to getting the photo we all aspire to. wonderful Matt, we look forward to doing more with you. it is all hands on, and so much fun ! thanks so much Matt.

In one word Awesome, Attended Matt's Lightroom tutorial last night as expected it was fabulous. Learnt so many cool features that LR has to offer. 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.

I just completed the Travel and Street Photography course with Matt. It was a fabulous afternoon full of theory, helpful tips, and lots of opportunity to take photos under the guidance of an experienced photographer. I felt like I learnt a lot and can't wait to get out again to practice what I learnt. I would highly recomment the course to all who have an interest in photography. Thanks Matt for an interesting and informative course.

I did a one-one-one workshop with Matt in the CBD, and it was well worth the investment. As well as lots of clear advice on the tech stuff that can otherwise be made over-complicated, Matt showed me how to get really interesting and surprising shots, where I ordinarily wouldn't have bothered reaching for the camera. I also got experience and needed encouragement in approaching people on the street for shots. Recommended.

Before I had even met Matt or purchased a course, he helped me choosing my underwater camera setup, free of charge. I am still extremely happy with my setup and very much value the initial advice Matt gave me. Will book on one of his courses soon.

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!

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.

Had my first 1-on-1 with Matt to kickstart my learning with the new camera. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Matt had listened to the kind of photos I took and what I found interesting, in order to design a few hours that would be most beneficial. I have much to practice and remember... will definitely be a repeat customer

Thanks Matt For a fantastic morning out at your Melbourne Zoo Workshop this week Wednesday the 14/6/17, all of your help not only with my camera settings but also on how to place your subject in the frame and to use the foreground to fill the shot was great. The photos came out great. Looking forward to another workshop with you in the future and just to let you know I purchased the Zoo membership. Many thanks Wally Lyons.

I attended Matt's Zoo workshop on the weekend with the course being a present from my wife. I have attended a few different courses now with different teachers, but Matt's session was the best so far. His ability to breakdown complex camera settings into layman terms was fantastic and made things easy to understand. The hints and tips he shared will not only serve me well in a safari game park but in my backyard as well! Can't wait to attend the Melbourne by Night course later this week!

Just about to go to Africa for safari and I want to ramp up my basic photography technique so did a morning at Melbourne Zoo with Matt. He was fantastic helping me with my new lenses (especially the monster zoom). His knowledge of all makes of camera is amazing and he gave my mind much food for thought for creativity. A must for all levels of photography!!!!

I did the Travel and Street photography coarse today and couldn't be happier with everything I learnt. The way Matt explained everything made it seem so simple yet very effective - no amount of reading or studying has been as effective as what i walked away with after today. I highly recommend this coarse and look forward to doing my next one.

I had an excellent one on one day workshop at Melbourne zoo last week with Matt. He is definitely a people person with the photographic skills match. He gave me a bit of theory and lots of practical experience, delving into camera features that I had been too timid to address. Highly recommended as he can tailor the experience to suite your skill levels and make it enjoyable

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! Anne & Ralf

I recently attended Matt's Photographic Essentials course at Peninsula Camera. It was a fantastic way to understand the basics of photography and has allowed me to start taking more creative control over my photos, with successful results. All the concepts were clearly explained, and backed up with practical activities. I'm looking forward to booking another workshop soon. Thanks Matt!

Did the Melbourne Street Photography workshop with Matt on Saturday and it was wonderful! A small group, lots of great advice and tips from Matt and some very cool locations in the City. Matt explained the camera settings in layman's terms that make sense and helped us set up some really creative shots. This workshop was given to me as a Christmas present and it was fun, well-paced and a great way to learn more about photography and how my camera works!! Thanks Matt, a really great way to spend my Saturday! I will be booking other workshops with you for sure.

I've done two of Matt's workshops (Travel & street and Watetfalls), both have been so much fun and I've learned so much. He's always on hand to give advice and helpful hints and he makes complex things easy.Looking forward to the next one!
