Brilliant one-on-one coaching – we’ve learned so much and captured amazing landscape photographs.

We have booked Martin for his one-on-one teaching and guiding service for several years. Every March, during our annual visit to Cape Town, we set aside a whole day for photography – and each time, Martin has taken us to some truly remarkable landscape locations. His in-depth knowledge of the area and understanding of weather conditions and lighting are incredible. I suppose thirty-odd years of experience speaks for itself! His one-on-one coaching is outstanding – we have learned so much from him and captured some fantastic photographs under his guidance. We have no hesitation in recommending Martin to anyone looking to improve their photography with expert mentorship.

Despite the early morning Zoom sessions due to the time difference, my private lessons with Martin have been a fantastic experience and of great value. I needed guidance to find direction in my photography, and he has helped me achieve that. His honest feedback has been invaluable – sometimes, that’s exactly what we need when making creative decisions. I’m not done yet, but I’ve already made great strides!
