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. 🙂read more

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.😄read more

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!read more

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.read more

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.read more

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!read more

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.read more

2018-12-21T12:28:14+0000

I've done about four or five of Matt's workshops plus an online workshop!! Each workshop is limited to a number of people so Matt has the time to explain what we'll be doing, and make sure everyone is set up right. That individual help makes all the difference when doing something new!! Once you've done a workshop your invited to a Facebook Community group where the support and wealth of knowledge continues. Even now I'm in a different State Matt is a tremendous source of help and learning! He is very patient and has a unique way of explaining things that everyone can understand.read more

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! cheersread more

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 in a participant FB group, and the workshop participant numbers of 4 or 6 are perfect for one on one attention.read more

Absolutely, have done three workshops with him now. A wild life one where we had fun stalking the animals, a light room workshop, great start up info, so glad I went before going to far too far down that track and a street photography workshop.

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

As someone new to photography, Matt paced the session perfectly with information and practice on the street.

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

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

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

My family purchased a voucher for me to attend a personal photography course with Matt. I cannot thank Matt enough, he explained ISO, Fstop, Lighting etc, in a language that finally made sense to me. I have been taking photo's for sometime now and had given up. This lesson has inspired me to pick my camera up again, the laminated cards Matt also provided, with a quick reference, are a great tool for me.

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.

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.read more

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!read more

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.

The small group (6 of us) all had different cameras; Matt effortlessly helped us all to learn more about our camera settings and led us to several spots in the CBD, teaching us a new technique at each stop. The take home laminated prompt cards for each technique are a great idea. Matt runs a number of other small group workshops including Travel and Street Photography so I’ll be back for that one soon!read more

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

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

I attended the zoo workshop with my 14 year old son. Both of us were complete beginners outside of auto mode. Matt had a lovely patient way of ensuring everyone in the group knew how to use their camera in many modes. I came away learning how to take photos up against glass to avoid reflection, how to use white balance, exposure compensation and how to take great photos in BW. Matt also taught us about animal behaviour and how to get the best shots when taking photos of animals. Matt had a great sense of humour and made the day really fun and memorable.

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

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

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

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

I wanted more out of my camera than just auto focus and shoot. Matt was very patient with me!!

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

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

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

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

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

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.read more

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!read more

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.read more

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

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.read more

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.

Having said that several people in the class had done previous classes with Matt and were there to learn more or just to refresh skills learnt prior.I can't wait to start practising and sharing some of my images for feedback, which was encouraged on the night.Great to enjoy an evening with other peeps with the "Shutter Bug"Thanks Matt, I will look forward to more workshops with you.read more

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.

We learned and practiced different techniques within close proximity to Flinders Street Station. Matt was patient, friendly and able to explain the concepts and techniques in a way that was easy to understand and apply. He has also established a set of resources so you can continue to develop your skills after the course is complete. Matt has reinvigorated my interest in taking great photos and I will definitely be back for more. Thanks Matt!read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

WARNING: These courses will make you addicted to photography and how to get the best shots you can! Matt has found the perfect mix of theory (that is presented in a way that makes it less intimidating than it seems) and the practical of just getting out there and shooting - with all the support you need. As a beginner to photography, the skills I've learnt have been easily transferable to conditions/environments outside the course and I've left the workshops confident to practice by myself!The small sizes mean regardless of your experience level there is always something you can take from these workshops.

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

I 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!read more

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.read more

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!

We spent a fantastic day with Matt Krumins yesterday participating in his 'Waterfalls' workshop. Matt is a patient and friendly teacher and his methods and analogies are simple, concise and easy to comprehend. We had a fun day, and Matt gave us the tools to use so to become better photographers. We are already discussing attending another of Matt's Workshops. We would highly recommend him.read more

Matt, thanks for a great photography tour at the zoo on Saturday. I learnt so much. The tips that you gave to the group were so important and seem so obvious in retrospect, yet we needed you to point them out. I'd recommend Matt's tours to anyone who has even a passing interest in photography.read more
