Testimonials

Choon Wee is an excellent trainer – Speaks simply, and uses good examples to illustrate his points. He makes it easy and simple for me to understand the photography concepts which used to confuse me greatly.

The trainer (Yeaw Choon Wee) is very professional and patience to guide us through the course, from know nothing about manual control of digital photography to able to manually set and adjust the right exposure for shooting. We also learned how to compose a good photo. Highly recommended for beginners!

I started this course with an initial fear of being unable to handle the complexities of a DSLR camera. By the end of the course, I had gained a solid foundation in the principles of digital photography and had a better understanding of how to use my camera to capture the images I envisioned.
