Client Reviews
“I discovered the entire process (this is key) of photography.
From thinking about:
- what I want to photograph,
- how I’m going to photograph it
…. to finally getting that photo from my camera to my wall.”
— Marie“If you want to discover a different side of Istanbul, improve your photography & spend time with someone who is genuinely passionate about both, I couldn't recommend Noemie's workshop more.”
— Claire
“Noémie has an amazing ability to meet her students where they’re at, whichever camera you’re using, however rusty your technical knowledge is, however clear (or unclear) your vision is.”
— Isabelle
“For 3 full sessions, we were out in the street, learning as we go, with the added bonus of discovering hidden corners of Istanbul.”
“This is an all-round & adaptable experience & it was for me hugely rewarding and fun.”
— Claire
— Marie“I also really enjoyed learning the basics of Lightroom.
It was something I had always wanted to try but never got around to, and Noemie made it feel approachable and fun.”
— Isabelle“The final photo printing session was the perfect ending.
Holding a printed version of my own work made the experience incredibly rewarding.”
