Luca was just brilliant. She created a safe, supportive & extremely knowledgeable environment in which to learn.

I came away with skills & confidence enabling me to take my photography to a whole new level.

Luca has instilled in me a lifelong love for learning

THANK YOU Luca.

I have completed both the beginners and intermediate courses than Luca runs and have found both to be a great introduction to the world of photography.

Both courses covered everything I wanted to know and I now have a brilliant knowledge base to build on my photography skills and the particular functions on my camera.

After doing the Photography Composition Course, I found my photography has improved immensely, even after the first session.

I gained a much better insight into the components of composition. I also got some valuable tips on how to get the most out of my camera and what to look for when taking a photo, particularly in nature.

DOCUMENTARY

I recently completed a documentary making course with Luca Royle. Having wanted for a long time to make documentaries but lacking the necessary skills, I turned up to the first class full of trepidation. Could I overcome my fear of this technology I was completely unfamiliar  with?

With Luca's enthusiasm and her clear step by step approach, it didn't take long before I was filming, editing and really enjoying the process of making my own documentaries/ 

Luca went beyond expectations. She was an extremely generous teacher, offering help beyond class time. I would highly recommend this course to anyone harbouring a desire to make documentaries.
