School of Photography

Feed back from students who have attended a course at Brightlife.

"I had never used a digital SLR camera before I took the introductory course
in Brightlife School of Photography and my knowledge of photography in
general was very limited. After just four classes with Ramona Farrelly, I
can now talk confidently about shutter speeds, aperture settings, ISOs,
f-stops, depth of field and all the other technical settings I need to know
about to set my camera up to get the best shot. Ramona taught me not only
how to use all these settings, but more importantly when to use them
depending on what type of photograph I want to take. The course gave me an
excellent grounding in digital photography and I'm pleased to say that I've
gone on to take many photographs since, which I simply wouldn't have known
where to start with before the course. The number of people attending the
course was small enough to allow Ramona to give everybody advice and
guidance to suit their own level of experience and ability and I would
recommend it to anyone. I am looking forward to returning to Brightlife for
a more advanced course later in the year."

I recently attended your advanced Photography course, and found it of great benefit. The relaxed atmosphere of the course and the friendly professional manner of the instructors was impressive. Your course not only showed me some new ideas and techniques but also refreshed the basics for me. I would recommend your course to anyone, and have done so recently. Thank you very much

The course was very good. There was a good layout and a good overview of the main functions. The exercises were very well tailored towards the usage of the tools of photo shop. Excellent lecturer. It would be great to have a graphic design class with her as well.
