The latest Google reviews of our courses

"We took part in Jane’s phone photography workshop last weekend. Fantastic experience, learning how to take great photographs with our Smartphones. We learnt how to focus, adjust the brightness, use optical zoom, cropping, using different modes , to name but a few of the features. We were let loose in Altrincham Market to practice and perfect our new skills, then back at the studio to edit and crop. A good time had by all. Thank you so much for your patience and listening skills Jane!"


Jane Kelly *****

"I decided to start using a camera that I have owned for about 3 years now and never used and saw an advertisement for beginners classes in photography.
I am so glad I booked up for it as I learned an awful lot in the 3+ hours I was there.
Jane the instructor was excellent taking us through the basics, but important information we needed to get started to take us off the automatic settings and use the manual functions of the camera.
Once I have mastered the basics, I will definitely be booking up another session and I would highly recommend Jane as an instructor."


Krisstoffer Jukes *****

"Really enjoyed the iPhone Course. Learned a lot from Jane who was a brilliant and knowledgeable Instructor, highly recommended."


Martin McNicholls, *****

"It was lovely to meet you all and to feel instantly at ease with the warm welcome

"Thoroughly enjoyed your course, both delivery and the content and it was interesting to hear how others view the opportunity for a good shot and image.

"Looking forward to refreshing my mind with the information you sent and putting into practice! ☺️. Here’s to lots more practice and I shall not hesitate to recommend you!"


Janet Collins, *****

  "The Phone Photography for Adults course was excellent. Jane gave a really informative slide show on how to quite simply improve the quality of your photos followed by a practical session of trying out all the new tips learnt.

"She also sent the course content notes by email for us to refer to afterwards which has been really useful. Would highly recommend."


Jackie Anderson, *****

 "Attended Lightroom for Beginners course at the new Share Your Story store on Sat 17th May.

"It was everything I had hoped for & more. From the detailed joining instructions sent prior to the course, through clear & concise instruction on the day from Jane Burkinshaw, to time given to work on our own images with Jane on hand to help with tips & techniques, it was excellent!
"I wish Share Your Story, and all who collaborate with them, all the very best for a bright, creative future. "


Anne Davies, *****

"Really informative and friendly session learning all about phone photography and editing! 

"Thank you so much!"
