Comments from students of the Kifissia course run by Maria Proios -

"I am enjoying the course very much. Have learnt a lot so far and Maria is a
great teacher"

Maria [the photograpgher] is professional, talented and open to her students. She is also organised but also gives a good degree of flexibility considering it is a creative subject. She explains technical issues in a digestable manner for the novice.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the course for the lessons that I was able to attend. They were very informative and I feel that I got a lot out of it. As far as the instructor, Maria, she is great!!! She was soooo patient and helpful, not to mention very friendly.
I hope that there will be another course next spring to continue from where we left off" - Rose White

"I found the course very informative and it helped me understand how to use the DSLR manually. Although I had read the manual and some sites on the internet I found that actually attending a course was much more useful to me in understanding the DSLR and how to take more creative photos" Mary Condos
