“Our teacher Zarina was knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects, and provided us with valuable tips and techniques for capturing stunning images that we can use in everyday photography. The workshop was intimate, well-organized and included both classroom instruction and hands-on practice in a stunning garden setting. I learned so much about composition, lighting, and how to use my camera to its fullest potential. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in improving their flower photography skills.” – Ayaisha, workshop participant.
