The two-day Art and Science of Photography workshop held in Jan 2018 was just an amazing experience. Thank you for the lovely presentation and detailed explanation, it helped me control my camera the way I want. Also the arrangement made by Toehold was worth every penny. Looking forward to some tours conducted by Toehold.

Amazing experience…learning about getting away from auto and finetuning my knowledge of photography were the prime focus areas I thought of joining this workshop. We had an excellent and friendly tutor, explaining the intricacies of photography to the last detail. In a few days I am off to Sikkim, and hopefully will come back with much better results.

I got trained by a professional and Toehold ensured me I got enough skills to explore on my own and improve every time I click an image. I thank them for this.

It was my pleasure to attend your session. Finally I got an opportunity to attend though I have been planning for more than an year. Though it was just 2 days, I am sure that I earned more knowledge in these 2 days than I did myself from 15 months of time since I purchased my D-SLR.
