"Darren is a great teacher who organises workshops on different styles and takes you round and shows you the real Morocco off the tourist track .…. a fantastic week staying at this wonderful riad …. in the heart of the medina, close to everything. It oozes character and has an abundance of Moroccan charm!" Niki January 2011 "Darren has managed to combine the fun and relaxation of a holiday with a complete course in all the elements of the photography. From the technical to the artistic, we have covered everything, and have done so at my pace (thanks Darren). I left the holiday feeling that, at last, I could compose an image which would not embarrass my camera." Craig May 2011
