Photography Workshop Reviews & Testimonials:

I would not go anywhere else than Nichols and Company for photography lessons. He is a great instructor, I am recreating test shots on day one after the lesson.

His 30 years experience makes the lesson extremely efficient. The tips he gave me on purchasing photography equipment will save me more than the lessons costs. I had a great time at the first lesson and will be booking several more this year.

I saw Matt to learn how to use Lightroom Classic. I found he is very easy to talk with over the phone, and in person at his studio.

His studio is very bright and open and easy to find. He seems genuinely interested in his students to help them learn. I think his greatest strengths are his conversational style and understanding Lightroom Classic. He really seems to understand it well.

I have a different kind of learning style, so he was willing to work with how I learn. I plan on continuing with him as I get the time and it appears he can teach about anything related to photography.

I took a private photography tutoring session. Matt was patient and knowledgeable and generous with his time. His instruction will really help my own photos look so much better. I appreciated his help!

My husband purchased a lesson with Matt for me since I was getting a new camera. What an awesome gift!

I didn’t have the understanding required to take pictures in manual mode and needed help with the basics. Matt was patient and put things in terms that I could easily understand. He taught me the basics of shooting in manual mode, helped me set up and practice using my new camera.

I achieved spectacular results in taking newborn photos of my new grand baby and am very thankful to Matt for the instruction. Definitely would recommend him as an instructor and will take additional classes from in in the future.

Matt gave me some 1-on-1 training in his studio. He was amazing. I have a new studio space & lighting and he showed me how to use it all. My studio is very small but he showed me how to make my space work for me! He was very informative and easy to understand. He also showed me new settings on my camera that have changed how I shoot. I have not looked back and the images are great! I would highly recommend him! I will be scheduling more sessions soon :)

I did a one-on-one 2 hour workshop with Matt. He was very prepared and explained things in terms anyone could understand. I am a novice with my DSLR and I feel like I have a much greater understanding after our session. I would highly, highly recommend any new users to meet with him! He is down to earth and very easy to talk to!

Matt provides great lessons on your camera and how to use it. He puts it in terms that anyone can understand. I am planning to get with him for some more help. Thank you!

- Marshall C.

I came to Matt as a complete novice, not knowing one end of my camera from the other and booked him for two 1on1 sessions. He was patient and full of great insights and taught me some very useful techniques, which have helped me progress. Matt has so much time for you and makes you feel at ease and able to ask questions freely. I would highly recommend him if you are a new to photography and need a knowledgeable guide to get you started. As I improve, I will go back to push myself further! 5 Stars!

I took a one on one photography session with Matt and he was terrific. I learned so much from him and am excited to practice and then take another session with him. I was a complete novice but now I'm able to use a camera with the manual setting! I have a lot to still learn and will be back with Matt after practicing!

- Jo Ann M.

Enjoyed the workshop today for Intro to DSRL. Matt was very knowledgeable about different camera operations and applications. I walked away with more info about using my camera and can't wait to try all the helpful hints Matt gave us. Will take more classes! Thanks again Matt!

- Debbie K.

Matt did an excellent job explaining and teaching an integrated Lightroom / Photoshop workflow. I had a process I followed previously and found what I learned to be far more efficient and very effective. Looking forward to working on some advanced editing with Matt in the future.

- Quentin F.

Matt was great... he taught me several new things that I thought I knew about my camera and didn't! A few hours was not quite enough. I need to spend more time with him, but haven't had time to yet. I will definitely be back for another one on one class! Highly recommend!

Matt was amazing. My grandson wants to be a wildlife photographer so we met at the zoo for a lesson. Matt not only helped us pick out an appropriate camera but was very patient and attentive, making this experience amazing and encouraging for my grandson. I plan on continuing my grandsons photography lessons with Matt. I really hit the jackpot when I found Matt. My grandson is so excited to do another lesson. I don’t think he has put his camera down since his lesson. Thank you so much Matt for everything.

- Mary S.

They have a nice studio and Matt is patient. I like the curriculum that he has. I’m enjoying the lessons.

- Jennifer M.

Excellent instruction and lesson structure. I am a complete beginner in the photography field, and Matt helped me build a foundation for learning and honing my photography skills. I would recommend anyone needing/wanting to learn photography to work with Matt. I will definitely be taking another class in the future.

Matt Nichols was a awesome instructor, very professional and easy to understand the lighting concepts he was teaching. Great hands on training using the studio strobes and natural light with two professional freelance models in a variety of situations! The best workshop I have ever attended.

Thank you Matt for the opportunity to expand my skill sets! I will be attending future workshops!!
