High praise indeed

Unfortunately, you have congratulated me for finishing before I have finished! But...this is because I am learning so much that I have slowed down my lessons. This is a HUGE amount of information for a beginner and I appreciate it all so much, I do not want to miss anything. In fact I have already decided to do the whole course again, just to be sure. Everything is clearly explained. The exercises are really helpful. Sometimes my camera lets me down because it does not have all the same features, but this still helps me as I will probably want a new camera soon and I will know more about what to look for! So, even though I am not finished, I can honestly say I will finish, and I have enjoyed and continue really enjoying this course! Good value for money! Thank you.

CDTP London 2023

Great morning seminar with everyone getting involve in the discussion, followed by an afternoon shoot along the iconic Thames river, from Tate Modern to Tower Bridge and back on the other side. Everything I know about my camera I've learned from Mike Browne courses (UBC course now called Masterclass and the 7BB) watched all his Webinars. Joined the PLD/Photo Creative on FB during Covid. I've learned so much watching his video on YT and the great group of Photo Creative with the monthly challenge. In fact I'm so hook to it that I think I'm posting pictures everyday. For me I find photography to be an amazing hobby to keep my creative juice going. The day I found Mike Browne online via his video's, courses and the Photo Creative group on fb changed my photography skill forever. Thank you Mike.

Masterclass - demystifying photography in fun ways!

I have recently upgraded my camera after years of using my phone and have effectively started from scratch as I had no knowledge of camera settings per se, only that I was able to capture imaginative shots on my phone. I have recently completed Mike's Masterclass in Photography course and highly, highly recommend it! Whether a newcomer to photography or someone with experience who would like to 'brush up on things', Mike's course is delivered with clarity and he is a master teacher through his demystifying delivery of essential information in a structured manner with enthusiasm and a great sense of humour! I feel I will be revisiting Mike's videos for quite some time.
My experience when commencing the course was akin to sitting in a car, having knowledge of an indicator and what it was supposed to do, but not knowing how to use it or being able to find it! While the learning will never cease, when I'm out and about with my camera and experimenting, I feel like Mike is just over my shoulder giving me hints around the size of the tap and what it's doing. If I didn't live on the other side of the world, I'd join one of Mike's workshops in an instant!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge in such easy to grasp and fun ways.

London workshop and photo walk

The experience was great because of Mike's constructive and educational morning teaching session, with lots of audience participation encouraged. Then being able to put his teaching into practice with a immersive photo-walk in the afternoon. A really enjoyable day

A great lens on the human principles of photography!

Mike's approach recognises the importance of the way we need to think about photography and whilst helpful with technical details, he instills a mindset underpinned with rigorous principles in human vision and psychology to help us see the world differently. And great fun too!

Want some great photography tuition? Read on....

I started following Mike some years ago and his early YouTube videos have were invaluable in my photography journey.
I have also been a member of his Facebook group PLD/ Photo Creative from it's inception during lockdown. This too has been a fantastic journey of learning in the form of monthly challenges combined with Mike expert advice, teachings and very constructive feedback.
Most recently I attended his Cameras Don't Take Pictures seminar and photowalk in London. What an amazing day it was. Lots of very useful exercises and interactive learning topped off with a great photowalk in the afternoon all under Mike's expert tuition.
His teaching style is very relaxed and focuses only on what is needed to make great photos. This being less about the camera and it's complicated features and more about the photographer themselves and their attitude and creativity. I would highly recommended his courses and workshops to any photographer regardless of their skill level.

Friendly and informative

The workshop was a great chance to brush up on the basics and get some new ideas and insight from Mike and hopefully correct some mistakes. Mike is a great communicator and is friendly and approachable. I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to focus and improve their approach and learn to take the photos they have visualised in their heads, but always seem to elude them

Masterclass of Photography - Fantastic course!

Just finished Masterclass of Photography and three webinars. All were full of great information and I learned a lot. Information to download and keep and videos in good chunk sizes to not be overwhelming.
Thanks Mike for all the 'aha' moments throughout the course.

Mike Browne's "A Masterclass in Photography"

I did Mike Browne's "A Masterclass in Photography" and have nothing but praise for this class. His step by step explanations guide you through seamlessly so you feel confident and see immediate results. Also, I appreciate him keeping it affordable :) I am now doing his next online class of "7 Building Blocks of Photography" and I am feeling my creativity starting to develop. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Mike.

A passion reignited!

I've been into photography from the early 60s until the mid 80s. 4 years ago I got back into it but due to the digital evolution I had to start all over again.
During Covid I came across Mike's great way of teaching and I have done nothing but improve under his guidance. I would and have emphatically recomended his simple to follow and comprehensive teachings.
Thank you Mike, you rock!

Photography made clear and enjoyable.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the lessons. They were clearly put across and I found them easy and enjoyable to follow. I am going to go through the lessons again and again and when I'm ready I shall be taking up the next course "Think like a photographer".

You're doing the right thing Bob - really get Masterclass committed to memory before you take on the next course. Thanks for the review!

I have purchased all of the available Mike Browne photography courses over the past year, and I feel that my photography and post production skills have improved dramatically and far beyond what I could have achieved on my own and with random YouTube videos etc.

Mike Browne tells it the way it is

Mike Browne tells it the way it is, the way it should be. He makes sense. This is the second course of Mike's I have completed and it makes sense. He is a very relatable tutor. All aspects of photography are covered in very manageable 'bites' so it becomes much easier to eat the whole elephant. This course has given me immense pleasure and reignited my passion in taking pictures

7STPP Highly recommended!

I took Mike's 7 Steps to perfect Pictures course. It's already my 3rd Mike Browne course and I wish he would have more! Mike is doing a fantastic job explaning the technical as well as the creative part of Lightroom. As always it's clear, concise, very hands on and humorous! I highly recommend it!

LEARN photography easily

Mike really knows his stuff and because of this, he explains everything in easy to understand language. He's easy to listen too and the time passes very quickly as he is so engaging. Watching the videos makes it easy to learn at your own pace and you can go back anytime to watch them again.

Mike is a great photography instructor

Mike is a great photography instructor. I was unfortunatley only able to experience half the course due to unexpected wheelchair restrictions, but Mike was great. I would encourage any beginner photographer to take this workshop. I've given Mike 5 stars just for the half of the course I was engaged in.

Master class by Mike Browne

I found following the online course easy, I could complete exercises given week by week and at times that suited me. Each step is very well explained and shown on the videos making easier to understand each task. Affordable and easy to use online log in, and it's there if every I need a re-fresher on something I'm not quite sure about.
