Here’s what others say!
“I’ve always had a camera but haven’t really known what to do with it. I found Kim and decided to take classes with her and honestly never looked back. I had a specific style I wanted to achieve, so Kim was great in working with me to help take photos like my inspiration. I think they have not only helped me with a skill point of view for photography but I think creatively I have benefited as well. It’s been really nice having the opportunity to just to talk creatively and not have to explain everything to a non creative. I left every session with Kim feeling really inspired for all aspects of my life, not just my photography! Couldn’t recommend it any more.

“I did a week-long workshop with Cedric. Each day was full of joy, every question and new ideas were more than welcome. Even though seminars were online in Zoom because of corona, and it was harder to make a nice work atmosphere – rather than face-to-face – it came out very successfully. I am very happy and grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of these seminars with Cedric - he is a great, friendly, and really experienced trainer.”
“Excellent! I really enjoyed the seminar. It was very formative, enriching and funny :) The passion, the infinite energy, the very useful information about the basics using a photo camera that Kim shows and gives in talking about photography.”
“Lovely, inspiring, warm, funny! I was very impressed because of your experience and professionalism. I felt very safe from the beginning. I had a lot of energy all the time and the workshop was full of useful information and tips. Very happy. I feel very grateful for the shared knowledge and approach. ”
“With his deep knowledge and his solid experience in leading international encounters, Cédric is an excellent workshop leader! He is also a creative, caring, cultured and humorous teacher. I will greatly enjoy doing another workshop with him. ”
“I really enjoyed the fact that there were all kinds of moments. Listening, interacting, groups, exercises. I think that all this makes the workshop very dynamic. Thank you so much for sharing your Knowledge with us, Kim! It is so amazing that there are people that devote their time to finding answers and ways of thinking. Often this is what is taken from education and I think it is a part that has to be rethought.”
““I have participated in various workshops and events organised or led by Cedric for more than 20 years. He always makes me and the other participants feel very much welcome and fully included. Cedric has vast knowledge, experience and sensitivity to gracefully deal with very delicate and difficult topics.””
“Thanks again so so much for your time, effort and huge help! I’m motivated enough to try and devote time to obtain decent skills in order use my camera better! I liked that there were specific methods and examples. Lots of new ideas and perspectives (no pun intended) on taking photos.”
