What our student photographers have to say
about Danny Steyn's One-on-One Nude and Glamour Photography classes |
Thanks, Danny, for your encouragement and
input. I couldn't agree, more, with your comments.
Some technical deficiencies came to light, during
the shoot, which is exactly what I had hoped for. I
know that's how I learn. My learning curve
steepened, considerably, on Sunday.
I got
some really incredible images from the session. Way
more than I thought I would come away with.

Your recommendation around a private session was
spot on. That's what I had hoped for, initially,
but I am so glad I did this session first as now I
know what areas I need to concentrate on.
My
music background does help with conceptualizing what
I want in a finished product. Then I work towards
what I have in my mind.
Let's
do the session. We'll get together with our
schedules and see when we can get together. I'd
like to use a different model for the studio
session, just for the experience of working with
another model.
Thanks, again, Danny.
Best, Benn
Danny
.........
What a treat working with you, and our model
Rachael, on my recent photo shoot. To recap: I
came to you as a novice, having never used an
SLR or a DSLR of any kind. Until recently, I was
a point-and-shoot simpleton. During our first
4-hour session, I came away with a working
knowledge of exposure, the keystone to good
photography.
It
was obvious to me that you had instructed many
times in the past as your instructional style
was clear and well thought out. In our second
session, having Rachael as our model was a
Godsend. As we both discovered, Rachael doesn't
take a bad photo. She made me look so much
better than I actually am.
My
friends didn't believe I had taken the photos
until they saw a few shots your assistant took
of us all engaged in the shoot – great idea BTW.
Having worked with many technical professionals,
I can state that you made my instruction well
worth every penny. I am extremely comfortable
not only taking photos with my Canon 5D, but
teaching my own sons about the camera. This is
an unexpected benefit. We have bonded over my
newfound hobby, many thanks!
My sister Natasha, whom I also recommend for
instruction from you, came away with a similar
experience.
Please feel free to use this letter for your
marketing needs, including posting photos of
Rachael, as
needed. I can recommend Danny Steyn Photography
unequivocally.

 Danny......
Thank you for one of the most rewarding
days of my photography life. It's
been many years since I've shot 35mm
portrait work and I asked you to help me
learn digital and lighting. I must say,
after your lesson, I just don't want to
shoot a subject without the proper
lighting, you truly made me think before
I shoot. I used to think
a picture is a picture and that I could
never create what exists in the
magazines. You proved me wrong
(somewhat)...you are fabulous. Your
patience, your team and Melynda (your
model) made me get even more serious
about photography.
Melynda
is magnificent and if anyone want's a
fun model to work with, ask for
Melynda. I will be
working with my camera, lighting and
will absorb as much as I can after our
lesson and will definitely return for
another session.
Thank you, your lovely wife Kim and your
team for a very hospitable day. I didn't
know what to expect; however, you truly
exceeded whatever I thought I would come
away with.
“Danny……….
I want to thank you, Kim and your entire
team for presenting such a thorough and fast
paced one-on–one course. The experience was
incredible. I learned more in one day with
you than I could have ever imagined. You
presented concepts clearly and concisely,
allowing me time to experiment and correct
my techniques in the field. 
Better still, I
appreciated the time we spent working on
work flow and having you critique my work. I
came away from this experience with a
greater appreciation for the art of studio
and daytime lighting techniques. I was also
impressed with the care and friendship that
you and Kim extend to your staff and models.
Your amazing team created an environment
that allowed me to stay focused on your
instructions. I heartily endorse your
program for amateur enthusiasts and
professional photographers looking to expand
their expertise. Well done! I plan to come
back once I have absorbed all of the
information you provided during our time
together.”

Dear
Danny,
I thank you for a most beneficial and
pleasant one-on-one morning of learning
by doing some really special photography
under your watchful eye. You and your
team made a daunting challenge go
smoothly and easily. Everyone’s warmth,
friendliness and helpfulness were “above
and beyond.” Your teaching technique –
explaining, demonstrating, showing and
constantly giving feedback – is a gift
that is excellent as s your eye for
beauty and detail. I would highly
recommend both the workshop and the
one-on-one to anyone who wants to either
learn the basics or refine their skills
in the glamour genre.
I
really did get some wonderful shots!
I’ll be sending you some for your review
and feedback. I regret that I did not
sign up for the post-production part of
the experience.
A friend saw my digital negatives
Saturday night and wants to take your
workshop and one-on-one. I thought
you’d like to know that just having
someone look at my (guided) output is
enough to sell your course!
Thanks again for providing he Workshop
and the One-on-One that I rate as among
the best learning experiences I’ve ever
had – and I’ve been “around the block” a
few times.
