WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
"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."

Matt is a great teacher. He explained things clearly and in a language I could understand as a complete Photography beginner. The Melbourne Zoo workshop was great fun and gave me a good insight to different settings and perspectives. I Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Matt for one of his courses, small groups, plenty of time to practice and receive feedback before moving on to new techniques and/or location.

I had a one-to-one private lesson today with Matt to help familiarise myself with the basics of my new camera. I found Matt so helpful and encouraging, and I have gained the confidence to go out start practicing. I’m looking forward to joining some of his group classes soon. I would highly recommend Matt as a photographer teacher.

Matt runs a great class, its very informative without blowing you away with too much information. The class flew by and I will be booking another class in the future.

I would certainly recommend Matt’s Beginners Course at Melbourne Zoo, it was lots of fun and very informative. Being new to photography I learnt a lot from Matt and have been able to improve my photography.

Really enjoyed walking the streets of Melbourne learning lots of great hints and tips to capture the moments. Matt is a valuable source of knowledge and makes the course fun as well as informative. Highly recommend 😃

Have just completed the Peninsular landscape course and was so impressed. Matt is relaxed, funny and friendly but also very talented and helpful so makes for great learning. He was attentive to each of us and if you were a bit more advanced then he tailored his teaching to the more advanced. No one was left behind but also it never became boring if you a bit ahead. Highly recommended. Can’t wait for the macro course next year.

I have completed several workshops with Matt and just had another awesome day with him and the group on the Seascapes workshop. I am totally new to this genre and found I continued to learn more about my camera and its settings. Matt's no hold back approach to teaching the group is highly commendable, he makes sure that all the people in the group are up to speed with camera settings and techniques. Looking forward to my next workshop.
Thanks again Matt.
Thanks again Matt.

With little experience in photography after dark I signed up to one of Matt's 'Melbourne By Night' Sessions. It was an absolute treat to be guided in a very personable, clear and instructive manner. Matt has a huge reservoir of knowledge and this has really helped take my photography to another level. Can highly recommend these workshops!

I've just completed Matt's Mastering Manual Mode course and I would highly recommend it. True to his word - no jargon, no tech-spec, great simple examples and assignments to put it into practice what was covered each week.

I have just finished my ‘Manual Photography’ course with Matt. I wish I had done it a lot sooner, rather than searching through YouTube and purchasing ebooks. It has been such a rewarding experience. Now rather than hoping for the best, if my pic isn’t what I expected I can look at it and see why? Reflection and knowledge is such a valuable tool to be given.

I can recommend Matt's online Histogram course. It's the most clear and easily understood description of the info a histogram is showing you that I have come across.

I attended online workshops that Matt gave at the Bright Festival of Light 2020 and they were fantastic. I loved the way he explained that you don't just take a photo of an animal but you need to tell a story as well. Look forward to attending more workshops in the future in person.

I have just done Matts Composition workshop and it was great. I learnt a LOT and I am not a beginner... Matt has a great style and a heap of knowledge. You've read this next bit already - frequently.... Matt will go out of his way to get the info across to you. He will go off topic too if that is what is required. Too many "teachers" have a rigid structure that they will stick to no matter what. That is not Matt. I cannot recommend Matt enough and this course in particular. Thanks Matt!!

Throughly enjoyed my day at Zoo with Matt, who shares is knowledge in a simple easy to understand way great for beginners like my self, highly recommend, I will definitely be coming back for more . Thank you Matt.

As someone who has always used only the automatic settings on my camera, I found Matt's 'Beginners Photography Workshop' thoroughly enjoyable. I received enough information to move forward without being overloaded and could put what I learnt into use straight away. It was a delightful morning photographing lots of amazing animals at the Melbourne Zoo. Aside from an abundance of photographic knowledge, Matt is highly professional, punctual and passionate and I look forward to doing some more of his workshops.

I did a Workshop with Matt today at the Melbourne Zoo, it was a wonderful day and I came away with a clearer vision of the how to work my camera(s) and had some lovely shots to bring home. Matt explains things in a simplified way and notes that are specific to my camera(s) and with practice using this knowledge I feel confident that I can produce printable photos that I’ll be happy to frame. Thanks Matt for a great day 👍

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.

00:42 05 Apr 20
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.
Joan Sexton

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.
Stephen Watkins

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.

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.

I had the beginners course today at the Melb Zoo, and thanks Matt! Without sounding too cheesy you have actually taken away the fear of my camera! Your explanations were very easy to understand and made me excited to get clicking without being overwhelmed by all of the settings!! Well worth it!
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) :D . 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 has a fantastic way of teaching people about photography. He takes you step by step, gets you to try out what he has just explained and then moves on once you have mastered that aspect of photography. Highly recommend his workshops!

The small group allowed Matt cater to each individuals level of knowledge which meant everyone came away learning something new. Matt was able to help me put theory into practice. Thanks for a great morning at the Zoo.

20:59 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 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 !!

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.
Adding to my review, since completing the beginners course I also completed the Street and Travel which was fantastic! The pandemic restrictions hit but that didn’t stop Matt. He found a virtual way to deliver some of the courses. So I gave it a shot with the Compositions workshop and it was truly worth it. Following that we were able to be out and about so I completed the all day Seascapes and Peninsulas workshop. We learned to use ND filters and become more familiar with our cameras, well worth it! I also attended a four day photography festival where Matt was one of the organisers and presenters. Needless to say it was jam packed and has kept me busy during ISO. Most recently I completed the mastering manual workshop and it did not disappoint and is well worth it. If you are looking to learn more about photography in a practical way, just book in with Matt, you won’t regret it!

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!

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 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!

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.

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!

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 !

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!

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.

I came away from the workshop with more knowledge and confidence and I had so much fun! Thanks Matt.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

Undertaking and attending Matt Krummins Bright boot camp was an excellent decision. Not only is Bright an excellent spot for photography, Matt has a way of stripping back the photography process to both instruct and challenge you in a way that is easy to understand.Matt's bootcamp was influential in redefining my photography perspective, especially in looking into composition and lighting and the importance of patients.The Bright bootcamp was an amazing opportunity for photographers of all levels with expert local knowledge allowing this small group to experience a wide range of locations. It was also great fun, much to Matt's relaxed and patient approach and also great opportunity to spend time with a group of interesting people.The only real downside was it had to end. I would highly recommend the bootcamp on so many levels.Alastair

I have attended a number of sessions with Matt but most recently I attended the Bright Bootcamp and I have to say it was a spectacular week of photography. Covering off a number of genres and visiting amazing locations is just the start of it. Matt's passion for photography is infectious. I was able to gain a hell of a lot during the week and Matt delivers easy to grasp concepts in an engaging and fun style. Don't hesitate....get yourself on the next Bright Bootcamp. It's simply awesome.

Just had the wonderful opportunity to spend a day at Healesville Sanctuary with Matt to do his Advanced Wildlife Photography Workshop. I loved every minute and took away lots of information and tips learnt on the day. It was a great bonus to be given a comprehensive work book to take home, a very handy reference to have on hand, with links to video tutorials. It’s a terrific venue and an awesome outdoor classroom! We had a nice small group of participants and it was so good spending time with likeminded people. Very good value for money and Matt’s relaxed and friendly teaching style and wealth of knowledge was very inspiring. Highly recommended 📷😊

Cracking afternoon with Matt. Great for beginners and more serious photographers alike. Has great knowledge of camera brands so can help you navigate the complexity of your camera and get the most out of the session. His knowledge of great spots to shoot is second to none and his was of explaining how to compose and shoot is simple and very helpful. If you’re on the fence about whether to attend a session, rest assured. It’s well worth it.

The course was a good range of skills for those with little or some knowledge. Matt continually checked on us all to make sure we were over the current skill he was showing us. Great night and well worth the dollars.

Having just completed an underwater photography course with Matt, I can't recommend him highly enough if you're looking to improve your photography skills. Matt was professional and personable, and even with an encyclopaedic knowledge of just about any camera you might have, was able to pass on the required information without the confusing jargon, making the course very productive and enjoyable.

I highly recommend doing a workshop with Matt. I did the Beginners Workshop at Melbourne Zoo a couple of days ago. It was fantastic. A very friendly and fun environment. The information was clear, easy to understand and Matt is very encouraging. He really wants you to get the most out of his workshop and progress with your photography. I took some great shots that I would never have achieved before gaining the information and tips that I got that day. I had an amazing day and can't wait to do my next workshop with Matt.

Highly recommend Matt's photography courses.So far I have done one course in person (at the Zoo) and just finished a 4-week online course via Zoom meetings. Both courses were great and Matt's got a good personality and he even has a sense of humour! ;-)Matt doesn't just run through theory, instead he's very hands-on and tailors sessions to participant's requests/needs where possible.Matt encourages your own creativity and tries to take the dryness out of the technicalities.A great environment for learning and sharing and for me certainly worth investing in the development of my skills and passion!Compared to the cost of camera equipment, the course fees are insignificant, but they do help you make the most out of your equipment investment and improve your creativity.

He gave us lots of tips on taking images for a different perspective and how to use the settings on our cameras and what sort of images to take with them. Matt made a point to come around to each of us to see if we understood what he had explained and to help us if we needed it. He was very patient and helpful and a lot of fun! Would highly recommend!

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.in May 2021 I did Matt's Bright Bootcamp and in one week my photography has improved beyond expectation. Again, Matt's ability to demystify the technical side of photography and get you to a position where you can take great photos ... and automatically know what to do when they're not great to make them better, is awesome. Thanks

I’ve just returned from the Bright boot camp workshop. Matt’s enthusiasm for all things photography, together with his people, and organizational skills, made for a wonderful week. Matt has a flexible plan which can change according to weather conditions and/or the participants’ needs and wants. Matt provides loads of learning opportunities and good quality printed learning material was given to each participant to keep. We were shown some amazing spots to photograph and got to taste some pretty good food from the local eateries too. I would thoroughly recommend this workshop.

This course at Cape Schank was so worth the early wake call. I absolutely loved it. The small numbers (4) allow Mattt to give each person time as they need it & is so willing to share his vast knowledge, tips & ideas. I learnt so much & came way on such a high. I learnt ND & polarising filter techniques & composition skills that I have only seen in glamorous coffee table books. Highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to improve their skills.

I just did the Advanced wildlife photography workshop with Matt and as always it was fantastic! Matt's knowledge of different cameras is very impressive and he explained settings on the camera that were easily understandable as well as some tips and tricks that were easy to implement. It was a small group size and that meant we got individual attention focused on our own issues and interests. My photography improved so much in just the short few hours I had with him. I am planning on trying to book into one of Matt's full day workshops soon. Thank you Matt!

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!!!!

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!

Over the past 3 months I have attended a number of Matt's workshops, both online and in person. I recommend his workshops without hesitation. An excellent communicator with the ability to explain concepts clearly in either laymans terms for beginners, or on a technical level to suit the most experienced photographers. Importantly, Matt's workshops represent GREAT VALUE for money. He is the complete gentleman and his knowledge is vast.

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.

SEP 2020I've enrolled in a few Matt's camera workshops through the past few years. During the current COVID Stage 4 restrictions, I've recently enrolled in my first online course (Matt's Mastering Manual Settings) via Zoom. The course provided easier way to understand the difference between the Camera Modes and how this effects the style in my photography. The course provided an in-depth understanding about the camera itself and provided me with insight on the minimum shutter speed for hand held photography (given everyone physical ability is different, knowing what my limitations are will greatly increase my future photography experience). As usual its always exciting, interesting when joining Matt's course. Matt will take the time interact/ help his students on many occasions (on topics outside of the course material). The Mastering Manual Settings workshop has given me more inspiration on how to use the Manual mode of the camera (there is no longer a fear for the M symbol on the camera). I definitely recommend this course to anyone who finds Manual mode confusing and frustrating.FEB 2020I'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've done a number of Matt's courses both face to face and online. I have also completed his bootcamp. I think I'm addicted, I'm always looking to see if he has something new for me to sign up for - was excited this morning to see dates for his mastering manual course.Spending time on Matt's workshops are more like hanging out with a friend. Always lots of laughs while you learn. Everything just makes sense when he explains it. He is a fantastic teacher.So, just do it!!!

I recently attended the macro and textures workshop and it was fantastic. I learnt so much in just one day and Matt was very helpful & attentive throughout. He’s very knowledgable about all the different camera settings and has a great eye for detail. Thanks again Matt!

Did the beginners course with Matt at Melbourne Zoo yesterday and am happy to say I am now out of auto mode. Matt explains camera settings in an easy to understand way and is very patient. It was great to get hands on help from Matt when I couldn't find the right settings on my camera. He really knows his stuff and is familiar with all brands of camera. Highly recommended 😀

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!

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 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.

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.

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!
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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
