Reviews for Jo’s previous sell out RPS workshops….

“I have had a great deal of feedback from the RPS members who attended the workshops and suffice to say it was a great hit with them. Many said that they were sceptical about using their phones for photography, but they were completely converted after Jo’s sessions. Without exception everyone admitted to learning a great deal.

“Jo’s style, delivery, knowledge and enthusiasm for Smartphone photography was extraordinary. She will not be forgotten for what she achieved over the weekend.”
