Lanzarote 5 day Workshop 2022

Have just completed a five day workshop in Lanzarote with Mike. What a fantastic week it was too. Mike is an excellent teacher, and I have learned a lot of new things while I was on this workshop. We visited some superb locations with breathtaking views which are off the beaten track where hardly anyone else goes. I’m sure we all came home with many stunning photographs. Worth every penny, and I absolutely enjoyed every minute. My photography has improved immensely as a result. Mike is always on hand for help and advice, and is very patient and explains everything in a clear, understandable manner. Thanks Mike. It was brilliant!

Just the motivation I needed. So easy to learn with Mike.

I have been practicing photography on and off for 2 years and just couldn’t get it. I am now part way through the Photography Masterclass and I have never felt so confident. Everything is falling into place. I even understand histograms 10/10 loving it!

Masterclass....is fantastic

You are a great teacher, a voice that's very easy to listen to which has made me sit and watch and learn a lot more on taking photography. Over the years I have watched many videos on photography and after a while I find them so dull and boring, your videos are spot on.
I know feel so much more confident in photography, as they say, every day is a school day.

I have found Mike’s course really interesting and challenges my thinking around photography. Covers the technical aspect of photography but more importantly directs you to thinking about you as a photographer and how to improve yourself to improve your photographs. Recommend Mike’s output and courses.

Excellent tuition from Mike

I've wanted to go on a course with Mike for a while and now I had the opportunity to go to Edinburgh. i'm so glad I did.
We had lots of tuition on the Saturday and Sunday was a 'walk about' to consolidate all that information. Mike was always there to give more suggestions and answer questions.
So much help and encouragement. Thank you Mike, I learned so much.

A great weekend

A great weekend. Not just for Mike's helpful advice and extensive knowledge of photography but fun and enjoyable too.

There was always time to explain even the basic of questions and Mike has that knack of making the complicated seem possible and easy to understand.

I will definitely try to attend Mikes other workshops when I can.

Review for an Exceptional Instructor

I had been looking at various YouTube photographers for a couple of months when I came across Mike Browne. I still had only a vague idea of how the settings worked together but after watching a few videos I knew this was the instructor I was looking for. I tried a sample of his Masterclass and thought “This isn’t so hard, I can do this!” I completed the masterclass and am enrolling in his next course now. Thanks to Mike’s natural and exceptional teaching skills, I finally understand my camera settings!

What can I say ...

What can I say .... Brilliant on line training course and so glad I chose to go with it. I have been into photography for a few years but there were still bits and bobs that I was struggling with. This training has helped me so much and it was worth every penny. Thanks, you have made a massive difference to my photography.

Masterclass in Photography course

After seeing some of Mike's fun Youtube videos I decided to step up and take this
masterclass and I'm so glad that I did, the Masterclass in Photography is excellent.

It's a really interesting 4 week course, it teaches the basics and beyond.
He has helped my with basic skills and now I can explore my camera and be more confident.
Manual mode doesn't seem so scary any more!
The exercises are really good at reinforcing the informative lessons.
This course helps you to think like a photographer which is really helpful to me.
He is a great and gifted teacher who explains things very clearly and inspires me to go out a take more photos.
It was so interesting and fun that I didn't want the course to end, so I might have to go on a workshop.

If you are thinking about getting serious with photography this is the best place to start.

Why didn’t I do this sooner?

I’ve been following Mike on You Tube for a couple of years among some other professionals, after wanting to develop my photography knowledge.

Mike stands head and shoulders above the rest for the quality and clarity of his teaching.

I belatedly decided I should take his Masterclass course and am now wishing I’d done it much sooner. It offers incredible value for money, as he covers all aspects of photography from key settings to composition and light.

I thought I’d picked up a lot over the past 2 years but Mike’s course has taken my knowledge to a whole new level.

I can’t wait to try out what I’ve learnt. Thank you Mike.

Mike's Masterclass

First of all, Thank you Mike.
I bought myself a Nikon D5600 about 10 months ago, i tried it out a lot at home and in the garden and to be honest, i hadn't got a clue. Birds flew too fast, everything was dark or too bright, i was disappointed whatever i did. I watched a couple of videos on YouTube that Mike had recorded, then noticed the Photography Masterclass. WOW, the penny dropped and things became clear, finally. I'm now confident and experimenting with different types of photography. Mike is very relatable, he simplifies things and the video exercises are easy to follow. If you do buy into this course, watch out for the video in week 4 of him and his mate Paul and a hose pipe. I couldn't stop laughing all through the video. Once again, Thanks Mike, you've changed my photography world

Thank you for your kind words Paul. I'm delighted to have helped your photography skills and confidence. The Hosepipe light video was fun - the plan was to be serious throughout, but we simply couldn't stop laughing like school kids... 🙏😊

A Fantastic masterclass in photography

I have just finished the 4 week course A masterclass in photography and it has made me much more confident in photography. I have had a nice camera for many years but have never seemed to grasp what I always believed to be so difficult (trust me it isn’t). These sessions have reinforced the basic skills I had and enabled me to explore and develop. Mike sends you focused sessions and pieces to practice yourself. I would highly recommend this to anyone and it will inspire me to learn more. Huge thanks Mike.
