What our clients say

 

Dear Monika and Patrik, thank you very much for the workshop. I really enjoyed it and I have learned a lot of new things (and was reminded of a lot of things I used to know ;-)). It was also great that is was really hands-on and practicing a lot, not too much theory during the workshop. The manual with the theory is very clear, especially since we covered a lot during the practical part of the workshop. It is great for reference. And all the photos in it and the once we made during the workshop are good examples.
I continued shooting a lot of photos once I got home and didn’t use automatic once. I started looking at the world differently again 🙂
It is probably the first time I’m looking forward to a homework assignment 😉 A big thank you to both of you,

I learned so much today and can not thank you both enough. I have already been practicing and can't wait to have a moments peace to read through my new "bible", the workshop material, and continue building and practicing on all of the skills you taught us today. Thank you for unleashing the potential in my camera, and me, I am truly overjoyed to be able to capture moments in confidence of a great result. You guys are awesome!

Taking the photography workshop with Pixien it has been very useful for my hobby.
I learned all about basic settings for my camera, photography tricks, literature and, the best of all, in a very entertaining, hands-on and funny way! Now my pictures look much better! I widely recommend the workshop!

I was pleased to attend Pixien workshop when I've learned how to benefit from all manual adjustments - skipping auto mode. The workshop time goes very fast but provides very useful and valuable information. Thanks for the workshop and valuable tips.

Monika showed me how I could bring out the maximum from my digital camera. Just a little adjustment and picture is completely different. With her help I'm able to take my beautiful and artistic pictures during my trips.
