“I chose to attend the Artwork Photography and Instagram For Artists workshop. I knew the few hours would be worthwhile as Madi always presents her own artwork very well and has a great presence on Instagram. Madi prepared the day exceptionally well, ensuring materials were personalised to our own accounts and photography. Resources and handouts were easy to follow and are a great reference to refer back to. The workshop itself was fun, relaxed and so helpful! What I was able to learn from Madi in those few short hours has already improved my art photography and Instagram.” - Helen Chegwidden @helen_t_chegwidden
