WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:
"Richard Wong's photography course has given me reference points, pictures, that I can always refer back to and re-educate myself on different lighting conditions and how they may effect my subject. Through his more practical rather than theoretical approach, you are creating these references, ISO, shutter speed, aperture etc... by just clicking away; which is what photography is all about!" - Orhun Levent
"I want to thank you for an excellent two day course last weekend. Really, enjoyed it and it was just what I was after. I have been busy recommending you to a number of people so hope you get more takers!" - Harriet Brooke
"Hi Richard, Just a quick note to express how much I enjoyed your intensive 2-day photo course! I feel this course has really broadened my horizons and visual perspectives. My only regret is I did not take your course 20 years earlier!" - Katherine Kwun
