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.

The mentor explained the in and out of photography. He shared the experience of being a wildlife photographer which was so good to hear and enjoy each and every moment in the workshop.

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.

The two-day program was fantastic and an eye-opener for me, especially because I thought I knew everything just because I had researched the internet. Thank you again for sharing your experiences and tips and tricks. I look forward to joining one of the Photography Tours organized by Toehold soon.

Yes. The fundamental concepts of digital photography are common to DSLR and compact digital cameras, so it will still be useful, and you’ll be able to try a majority of the discussed concepts practically if your compact camera has manual controls. However, in order to make the most out of the Workshop, we recommend you hire a DSLR from us for the two days. Please talk to us for details.
