"SEN Photography Courses"

Today saw me back helping youngsters develop their photography skills using both a digital SLR and a mobile phone set-up.

It was an inspiring morning and not even 2 hours later, I received this message from his tutor:

"Hello Maria,

Just a big thank you again for this morning, we really loved it and are keen to continue.

Thanks again, what a lovely morning."

I love so much moments like this helping youngsters to develop their confidence and creative skills. If I can help you too, just get in touch.

Have a great week!

"Wedding Anniversary Gifts"

Finally I'm back in the studio and it lovely helping Emma who walked by wanting to create an urgent wedding gift.

Originally she wanted a print in a frame, so I went through some options and she loved the idea of a round ceramic coaster. I'm completely passionate about guests' images and as soon as I saw it, I knew that Lulworth Castle would only fit on a square one.

In less than an hour, the gift was created and wrapped in clear, compostable wrapping with a vegan sticker on it showing it was handmade.

So happy she texted me to say she loved it πŸ₯°

"Capture the Wild - Happy World Photography Day"

It's been a crazy couple of weeks helping Jack master his new Nikon Z6 in the New Forest and then jump straight back to helping families master their snorkel skills here at Swanage Pier.

But finally I'm catching up and I was so happy to see Jack go from knowing nothing about ISOs, Apertures and Shutter Speeds at the start of the course to see him progress throughout the day, getting creative and using the full capabilities of his camera.

I was super touched to get this feedback:

"Maria is a brilliant teacher who is clearly passionate about photography and genuinely enjoys helping others improve. She takes the time to understand what you want to learn and helps you to get there. I would highly recommend her to others."

Thanks so much Jack and can't wait to see your future photos πŸ™Œ

"From Zero to Hero"

Friday saw me welcome Non and Lesley on a 2 hr photo course at Studland.

It was clear very quickly that Non already had a fabulous eye for images, and we ran through a few basics to enhance her smartphone images from Apps to Settings to enhancing them afterwards.

Even I couldn't believe the difference though at the end of the course.

Huge well done Non and it was so lovely meeting you both πŸ™Œ

"Happy Guests, Happy Hearts"

Last week was super special back helping Sue master her Smartphone Photography Skills as a belated birthday gift 🎁

It was incredible to see how much she learnt in such a short space of time and loved how at the start of the course she was thinking of upgrading but quickly changed her mind in just a couple of hours.

She bumped into people she hadn't seen in years, tried accessory lenses to get super creative with her flower photography and we finished the day with more tea and a gluten free flapjack πŸ’•

Huge thanks to Nick for booking her surprise and Sue for coming along. Super excited for your journey πŸ™Œ

Happy Thursday All,

Hope you're all ok in this heat 🀞

So just in case you've been wondering where I am when I'm not in the studio, the ocean became my home last year.

Today I've been at Chesil Cove where I was completely shocked that 4 people recognised me from my work in the dive industry 😳

My underwater photography is always what gets me through the "stuff" and I've loved creating mini-films to help people learn about our coast. You can see more of it at Dorset Underwater πŸ’™

I'll be back at the studio on Saturday 11 am - 4 pm.

Have a lovely afternoon xx
