What participants say about our workshop:
I really enjoyed it and I have learned a lot of new things. It was also great that is was really hands-on and practising a lot, not too much theory during the workshop. 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!
Mariel Westendorp, St Legier

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 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.
