I’ve gained so much from these lessons that I don’t want them to end.

My only disappointment with this course is that there isn’t an 'advanced, advanced' version to continue this incredible journey! I’ve gained so much from these lessons that I don’t want them to end.

Martin’s weekly creative input was invaluable, offering a fresh perspective and artistic guidance that pushed my creativity further than I ever expected. Learning fine art photography from him became my sanity during lockdown—a space to grow, experiment, and truly refine my artistic vision.

This course has been inspiring and transformative, giving me the confidence to create deeply personal and meaningful work. I’ve walked away with new techniques and a renewed passion for photography.

Thank you again, Martin, for such an incredible experience!

Thank you! It just doesn't suffice... I had such a fantastic time on your fine art photography course. I've come away from these classes feeling inspired, optimistic, and reminded of why I fell in love with photography in the first place!

I’ve been more creatively inspired in just one week than in the past five years. My notebook is overflowing with ideas, and I can't wait to shoot more and revisit past images—images I already liked but now know I will love even more after applying the fine art techniques you shared.

Russia—such a hard place to live—now seems less daunting.

So, once again, thank you! You and your team are incredible!
