    Really enjoyed the event - Sanro took the time to teach and explain technical stuff over and over. I'm not a number person so always struggled to learn basic photography knowledge. Sanro knows his trade, he's very patient and supportive. Thanks so much Sanro!

    Great portrait photography session run by Sanro this weekend. He was very knowledgeable (including technical aspects e.g. light spectrums behind settings) and gave each of us individualised constructive feedback. I felt I really improved over the session and I have lots to get on a practice with. Sanro was so enthusiastic that the session went on longer than it should! It was great value for money - thank you so much Sanro!

    One of my friends said to me when taking photographs don't choose the obvious. Don't opt for what is directly in front of you. Look back. Look to the side. Look up! Hence the different perspective.The image is also full of my favourites go to's, line, reflection and contrast. I was very fortunate that the weather was overcast that day. Otherwise some of the elements might have been lost in the bright sunshine.

    The Old Oak Tree, 2025.This is one of my favorite trees. It is situated alone in a huge field on a little farm near where I live. Every time I see it and the little rope swing that hangs from it, it just fills me with a sense of peace and tranquility. I wanted to portray that in this minimalist, high key version of it.
