STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
โHAVING WORKED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAMERA (AND COMING FROM A FAMILY OF PHOTOGRAPHERS) I CAN QUICKLY ASSESS IF SOMEONE TRULY KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. MIRACULOUSLY, I STUMBLED INTO MATT PORTEOUS AND HE INSTANTLY BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHERS. HE MAGICALLY CAPTURES MOMENTS IN TIME AND GENEROUSLY THANKS EVERYONE INVOLVED. I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR MATTโS INSPIRING MENTORING SESSIONS. MATT IS MORE THAN A TEACHER - HE BREATHES LIFE INTO EACH LESSON. MATT IS STRONG WHERE AS I AM APPREHENSIVE, HE IS PATIENT AND HE CAN BREAK DOWN A COMPLICATED SHOOT INTO SIMPLE UNDERSTANDABLE STEPS. WITH EACH STEP HE IS ENCOURAGING AND BUILDS MY CONFIDENCE"

THIS COURSE HAS BEEN THE CONFIDENCE-BOOST I NEEDED TO TAKE MY PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN SO SECRETIVE UNTIL NOW - WITH SO MANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS FEELING THREATENED WHEN BEING ASKED FOR ADVICE OR SUPPORT. MATT AND TAMSINโS OPENNESS TO ALL THINGS COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY HAS HELPED ME TO FURTHER MY CAREER IN SO MANY INVALUABLE WAYS. I FEEL MORE CONFIDENT TO NEGOTIATE JOBS, SECURE FRUITFUL PARTNERSHIPS AND AGREEMENTS, AND WORK IN A SPACE IN WHICH I FEEL I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO GIVE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SECURE BEGINNING TO A LONG JOURNEY, WITH THE FOUNDATIONS SO STRONG THANKS TO THE ADVICE AND TEACHINGS OF THIS COURSE. THANK YOU TO MATT AND HIS AMAZING TEAM!

I WAS GLAD I FOUND THE COURSE AND IT FOUND ME. IT IS GREAT TO BE PART OF AN AMAZING COMMUNITY THAT INSPIRES AND MOTIVATES. I HAVE GAINED SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENCE TO SHOOT OUTDOORS AND TO TRY NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES. I AM CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT LIGHT AND SHADOW ALL THE TIME NOW. THE COURSE ALSO GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE TO BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE AS A PHOTOGRAPHER. I CAN NOT THANK MATT AND TAMSIN FOR CREATING SUCH AN INSPIRING COURSE. THE LENGTH OF THE MODULES ARE GREAT, THEY ARE CONCISE AND MOTIVATE YOU TO GET OUT THERE AND SHOOT. THIS COURSE IS A MUST FOR ANYONE WANTING TO LEARN AND CREATE AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHS AND WANTS TO BE PART OF AN INSPIRING GROUP OF CREATIVES........ THANK YOU GUYS...

THIS COURSE IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IโVE EVER DONE. I ALMOST DIDNโT DO IT - IT WAS A REAL โSLIDING DOORSโ MOMENT! THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE. MATT & TAMSIN ARE PROBABLY THE NICEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET IN THE INDUSTRY. I HAVE LEARNT SO MUCH, IT HAS CHANGED MY PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER. THEY HAVE GIVEN ME CONFIDENCE & A SAFE SPACE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT JUDGEMENT - WHICH IS WHAT I NEEDED MORE THAN ANYTHING. NOTHING IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE & BEING ABLE TO SPEAK TO THEM PERSONALLY ON ZOOM CALLS MADE THE COURSE FOR ME. I FELT LIKE, AND CONTINUE TO FEEL LIKE, IโM PART OF SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND YOU GUYS!

I HAVE BEEN WORKING AS A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR 5 YEARS, & PREVIOUSLY WORKED AS AN ART DIRECTOR IN FILM AND TV. WHEN I MOVED TO CORNWALL I STARTED WORKING AS AN INTERIOR PHOTOGRAPHER. ALTHOUGH I LOVE WORKING IN INTERIORS, I HAVE HAD ITCHY FEET FOR A FEW YEARS. I WAS UNCERTAIN HOW TO BRANCH OUT WITHOUT FEELING INTIMIDATED, THEN I SAW THAT STUDIO M WERE DOING A COURSE THIS YEAR, & I'D BEEN A BIG FAN OF MATT FOR A WHILE. IT SEEMED PERFECT.โ โ I CAN HONESTLY SAY IT HAS BEEN A TOTAL GAME CHANGER. NOT ONLY HAVE I BEEN INTRODUCED TO A WONDERFUL GROUP OF TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHERS ACROSS THE WORLD, BUT THE CONTENT HAS BEEN REALLY BENEFICIAL TO ME AND MY PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER.โ โ THE RELAXED AND INFORMATIVE APPROACH, CONTENT AND GREAT MODULE CHALLENGES HAVE PUSHED ME TOTALLY OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, AND ENCOURAGED ME TO BROADEN MY HORIZONS BEYOND THE WORLD OF ARCHITECTURES AND INTERIORS. IN A SHORT SPACE OF TIME I HAVE FOUND THAT, THROUGH SHARING MY STUDIO M COURSEWORK ON SOCIAL MEDIA, I AM TAKING ON NEW CLIENTS AND PROJECTS THAT I PREVIOUSLY DIDNโT THINK WERE ON MY RADAR.โ โ ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED TO CONCENTRATE ON MY PERSONAL WORK, BASED AROUND THE OCEAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY, AND THAT TOO HAS BEEN REALLY BENEFICIAL TO ME. I AM WORKING TOWARDS BUILDING A TOTALLY NEW PORTFOLIO IN THESE AREAS AND LOVING THE PROCESS.โ โ โ โ I CANโT THANK STUDIO M ENOUGH. THE CONSTANT INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION HAS BEEN JUST WHAT I NEEDED AND I AM EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

WHEN I STARTED THIS COURSE I KNEW I WANTED TO TAKE PHOTOS, I KNEW MY WAY AROUND MY CAMERA PRETTY FLUENTLY, AND I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING CONSISTENT THAT RAN THROUGH MY IMAGERYโฆTHOUGH I DIDNโT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THROUGHOUT THE COURSE I HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED, MOTIVATED, INSPIRED, AND IN SOME CASES PUSHED, TO CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR MYSELF, SPEAK TO LOCAL BUSINESSES, REACH OUT AND TRY NEW TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHY, TRY NEW TECHNIQUES, CHALLENGE MY HABITS AND MY VIEWS OF MY OWN WORK. I HAVE BEEN SHOOTING LOCAL BAR INTERIORS, WEDDINGS, HAD A STAND AT THE NATIONAL WEDDING SHOW AND HAD MY WORK USED ON MUSIC ALBUM COVERS AND BAR MENUS. I FOUND THAT I ALREADY HAD THE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE, I JUST NEEDED TO STOP FOCUSSING ON WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE DOING AND CHANNEL MY OWN โWHYโ, PURSUE MY OWN VISION, AND CONNECT WITH PEOPLE. BINGO. I AM NOW MORE MOTIVATED AND CONFIDENT THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN AND MY WORK HAS IMPROVED UNBELIEVABLY! ALL THAT AND I AM ALSO NOW PART OF THE MOST AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHIC COMMUNITY, I AM PROUD OF EVERYTHING EVERYONE IS ACHIEVING, JUST AS I KNOW THEY ARE PROUD OF ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH MATT, TAMSIN AND TEAM!
