What Our Students Are Saying

”I never knew what real photography was until I took the photography course at Martin Osner's. It is like entering a new world of colour, texture, and creativity. I've learned so much and will never retake any photos in automatic mode!"

Mary-Ann Sim

Hear from those who’ve joined our courses — beginners, hobbyists, and creatives who’ve grown their skills and confidence with Martin’s support.

”It all began when I attended a 'Let's Talk Photography' seminar presented by Martin Osner. I was entirely captivated by Martin's enthusiasm, zeal, and passion for photography. Listening to his talk and seeing his photographs – and hearing the stories behind the images – was captivating and inspiring. So, I signed up for the Basic Photography Course. At the beginning of the course, Martin said that by the end of the course, we would be taking better photographs. He was confident that our photography would improve dramatically, and his goal for each of us was to have at least one excellent picture to print and frame. I felt intimidated (I think we all did!) and thought: 'Here is someone who has much more faith in my photography than me'. But he was right! The quality of the photographs taken by the end of the course bears testimony to what an excellent teacher he is. The course was presented professionally, clearly, concisely, and easy-to-understand, covering every aspect of photography. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and learnt so much – and I look forward to doing the Advanced Photography Course. Thanks, Martin, for the incredible inspiration."

Sue Docherty

After years of dabbling in photography, Martin's advanced course gave me the clarity and creative push I needed. His knowledge is exceptional, and his ability to teach both the technical and artistic sides of photography is rare. Highly recommended.
