I have thoroughly enjoyed learning with Michelle Harris and Michelle Loukidis. They are passionate, proficient and inspiring mentors. My experience of the Beginners Course has been incredibly worthwhile. TTLC values getting to know students individually to best guide each student through their journey. Their Beginners Course provides a substantial foundation on the basic functions and techniques for using a DSLR camera, the origins of photography, the history of photography in Africa, and visual analysis.

I went into the Beginners Course mainly to understand my camera and maximize on its functions. Little did I know I was embarking on a journey of self-discovery. Michelle and Michelle were professionals throughout and made the experience an unforgettable one.
