    Beautiful garden landscape photography and some good tips on positioning and difference time of day shooting makes. Very enjoyable. Was more if an overview class versus a nuts and bolts technical or technique class. Was what I expected!
  • Location Photography Workshop: Central Park

    Reviewed by Erich B. on 7/3/2017
    I wound up being the only student at my session, but Marcy ran the class anyway. So for almost three hours I had a one on one photography lesson. I also had a great time chatting about life, the universe and everything with Marcy. All in all, a great experience and I took away lots of learning. Thanks Marcy.
