What People Are Saying

"I definitely feel like I’ve grown in my photography. Most of all it’s just kindled a more consistent awareness of the things around me and how they might become images or stories. I’ve myself thinking more critically and intentionally before hitting the shutter. I think this awareness and visual process are the two most valuable things I gained."

— Sarah

"Ciara’s teaching style is really fun - her energy throughout our lesson together made the whole experience so memorable. She is extremely open and friendly in character and made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole time. Ciara used helpful language and visual aids to break the teaching process into manageable information. I would highly recommend her fabulous service!"

— Kelsy

“Ciara's course was fab! Loved the zoom sessions and the homework. Definitely the best 4 weeks I've had during lockdown and great introduction into the world of photography. Would absolutely recommend. Excited to keep getting out with my camera!"

“Really enjoyed the whole course Ciara created for me, invaluable being exposed to new works as inspiration and challenge, recognising the techniques or what makes it a striking photo. The assignments given to me were incredibly useful. Thank You!"
