“An amazing course which enables young photographers to get to grips with their camera. I have come away full of ideas on picture composition. Julia made the learning accessible to all ages and levels. I would highly recommend this four day workshop to teenagers who want to get started or develop their photography skills. First Class!”
CR, Teens Beginners Photography course

“I have continued to the advanced course right after the introductory course because I enjoyed it so much! The course was wonderful, Julia was so professional and nice. She taught us so many tricks and tools to become more creative. I especially liked our days outside the Lab, photographing in the streets and looking for creative angles and perspectives.”

Adult Beginner Plus + Intermediate

“The courses were just what I was looking for – a combination of the practical and the inspirational. The small class size meant we all had time to ask questions and the tutor explained things calmly and gave us the opportunity to try out what we had learnt. I gained a lot of technical know-how and was pushed creatively, encouraged to try new techniques and think in the abstract (not easy for a designer). I have subsequently had my first couple of photography commissions and am working on a series of creative images with an art dealer. The Mango Lab course has triggered a complete change of direction for me and I’m loving it.”
JS, Beginners & Intermediate Photography course

“Thank you again for being such a good teacher. I have thoroughly enjoyed your class, and have come a long way during the last two months. So glad I did your course, cos I have definitely learnt a lot. It has been a worthwhile, valuable & beneficial experience.. Now I can go out into the world and put into practice & experiment using the knowledge you have given me.”
JB, Beginners & Intermediate Level 1 Photography course

“I loved the relaxed and fun approach to the course. The feedback I got each week was really useful. Loved every minute and I wish it was longer!”
LB, Intermediate Level 1 Photography course

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up. I was completely overwhelmed by the course. I learnt more than I hoped for and all the information I am able to take with me to improve my skill.

 Wedding Photography Business Start-up

“I had the great privilege to participate in the Mango Lab’s wedding photography course recently. Given I am looking to turn my passion and dream of working in photography into a reality, this was the ideal workshop. It was hugely informative & interactive. It equipped me with all that one needs to know to shoot a wedding professionally! Although we never took a photo in class, the focus was on the ins & outs, pros & cons of wedding photography. Karl taught me so much more than I had ever imagined. I now feel confident that I have a good understanding of the ‘business end’ of wedding photography – the good, the bad and the ugly. The legend that is Karl also helps you identify your strength and weaknesses as well as what type of wedding photographer you may be. We walked through what the lead up to, the actual day, and follow up looks like of a typical wedding shoot & what is expected of you on the day and beyond!

The course was also a catalyst for me to think about and set up my very own blog and consider what else I need to put in place to create an identity for myself to put myself out there.

As usual The Mango Lab over-delivered & blew my expectations, as well as continuing to inspire me to believe in myself and my photography! Looking forward to put it all into practice in two weeks when I shoot my first professional wedding!! Ten out of ten!! Totally recommend.”
IG, Wedding Photography Business Start-up course

“I’ve done many photography related courses of late and this was by far the most usefully interactive and over-serviced them all. The teaching is highly intelligent, responsive and very easy to understand.”
RP, Wedding Photography Business Start-up course
