Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday.

    A score of '5' isn't high enough! Amanda was a superb session leader. She gave so much of herself with knowledge, support, and suggestions on new mindsets, techniques, and approaches and on how to overcome personal barriers. I'm really looking forward to another opportunity to be part of another session led by Amanda.

    The weather was great, and the 2hrs went by quick. Amanda is very knowledgeable and very fun to be around with. She explained the camera settings so it's easy for us to remember and gave us tasks to do so we can put the theory into practice. I have booked another session with Amanda for next month and really am looking forward to it.

    The Old Oak Tree, 2025.This is one of my favorite trees. It is situated alone in a huge field on a little farm near where I live. Every time I see it and the little rope swing that hangs from it, it just fills me with a sense of peace and tranquility. I wanted to portray that in this minimalist, high key version of it.
