Hear what photographers have to say…
“My grandfather’s photos were what originally inspired me to get into photography. Having sat in a drawer for years they are completely destroyed. I’ve been trying to fix them for ages and this course had ALL the information I needed to get them fixed and now I can hang them on the wall!”
