Photoion Photography School Reviews Summary

Teaching Quality

Pros:

• "Ion has huge patience and insight with his students."
• "Ion is very very good at what he does and he knew exactly what to teach in a simple way."

• "Ion is a great teacher! His passion and enthusiasm for photography know no bounds."
• "Ion is a highly energetic and enthusiastic natural teacher."

Cons:

• "The only thing for me was that we had a bit too many people (9) in our course which made it less efficient than it could have been."

Course Structure and Content

Pros:

• "The two day workshop was packed with basic knowledge on the first day, followed by a practice day."
• "The course was so well designed that I felt my 'eye' and my photography improved right away!"
• "The course lasted two days, which I found to be a great balance."
• "The course is very in-depth and comprehensive."
• "The course was really well structured - the classroom teaching was interspersed with practical evidence of brilliant photos by Ion and the team to support the theory."
• "The course duration of 2 days was perfect and nicely divided into theory as well as practical knowledge."
• "The course is taught in a clear and concise way which made it easy to follow, and is split into theory and practical over the two days."

Cons:

• "We had a great group as well, we were all at a similar level so it wasn’t daunting and we learnt so much just in the first day."

Support and Feedback

Pros:

• "I love that as a student you can post any photo on the Photoion Facebook page and Ion himself will give you prompt feedback."
• "The thing I've been most struck by is the support beyond the courses I've done."
• "Ion’s advice was invaluable and doesn’t end at the workshop itself as he offers continued support via Facebook."
• "Love the fact that you can post pictures on the facebook group to get Ion’s feedback even after the course. Makes practicing so much better."
• "Another thing I really like about Ion is that he encourages a continuing relationship, sharing of images, and continues to give feed-back even after the course has ended."
• "As a bonus you will become member of his inner circle benefiting from unlimited after course support and advice."
• "Ion continues to provide feedback even after the session."

Cons:

• "Soon you will end up sharing your photos on his page and waiting for constructive feedback from other members or asking for advice about equipment, that could save you few quid."
