See what our students have to say about their feedback and tutor interaction:
“Feedback and critique is always good as it helps to get another’s perspective towards your work. It is always very easy for ‘Aunt Mary’ to say ‘ooh your pictures are wonderful’, but for someone of a professional nature within the business to give interactive criticism of your work helps greatly in allowing you to see things you may have missed or how you could have done something better. Always good information which you can take on board as part of the learning process to improve upon your work which is something which we all strive to do, perfect our passion.” Andy Finch, 5th October 2013
“My feedback gave me plenty of things to consider for the future, based upon what I have learnt on this course. Thank you for giving such informative, professional feedback.” Terry Henderson, 12th August 2013
“It was nice to get some real, honest feedback about my photography and it made me reassess my images.I particularly liked the suggestion about converting one of my images to black and white, which has given it a new dimension.” John Wilmshurst, 15th June 2013
” I felt the final feedback was fantastic and a high point of the course as I was given refreshing honest criticism. This will definitely improve my photography. Thanks Tim!” Ben Smith, 14th June 2013
“The feedback was fantastic! Thank you so much as this has made me learn more so now I know how I can improve.” John Stoate, 8th June 2013
