What did you enjoy most about the course?
I enjoyed most the challenging practical assignments and the IOP Facebook Group.
What do you think we could improve about the course?
I would like to see a bigger resolution of some key images belonging to course material. This would help to have a better understanding of some topics through the analysis of those pictures.
How has the final assignment feedback improved your photography or if you feel it has not helped you, tell us why!
The feedbacks on the final assignment are full of detailed considerations that only professionals are able to highlight. That’s why this course has been a great opportunity for me to improve dramatically my photography.
Any other feedback?
The Tutors allowed me to see things from a different perspective, which is fundamental to achieve better results in photography. The Facebook group is a very smart idea of IOP to introduce a complementary tool to improve the photography of all of us, it a very pleasant place where to spend time sharing pictures, ideas and advises.

What did you enjoy most about the course?
Although it has taken me a long while to complete the course I have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it, however, if I had to pick one are that I have found most beneficial it would be the challenge of the compulsory assignments and the very useful feedback and critique received.
What do you think we could improve about the course?
That is difficult to answer as I kept myself very much to myself and didn’t interact in the way I perhaps could have done, ie I never used the tutor contact sessions or interacted on the forums. Also, the course has changed and improved over the time I have engaged in the course.
How has the final assignment feedback improved your photography or if you feel it has not helped you, tell us why!
The final assignment was very challenging, Portraiture is new to me and I admit if it wasn’t for this course I probably wouldn’t have done any. The final assignment made me think very carefully especially the portrait. I am not used to the studio environment and am not used to speaking with models. The feedback I received from my Portrait assignment certainly helped me in my final assignment, I was more confident in decided how I wanted the models to pose. The final assignment gave me the opportunity to improve different areas of my photography and my image editing.
Any other feedback?
This course has been very in-depth, comprehensive and helpful. The feedback has always been fair and constructive. Without such feedback, I doubt I would have been able to achieve the scores that I have managed, which I am over the moon with. I have enjoyed the challenge very much indeed, and look forward to staying in touch and maybe enrolling on another course in the future. I would like to thank my tutors throughout the course and of course the course director. All the best for the future.

All the feedback throughout the course has been helpful. The final assignment feedback seemed to focus on editing which I know I struggle with so I’m looking forward to improving this area.
