    This was the first time I've attended a Brighton Photography Group event and thoroughly enjoyed it. Toby made me feel very welcome, he was engaging and knowledgable. He coped well with a group of mixed ability and everyone was extremely friendly. Great value for money. I'd definitely join another event with the Brighton Photography Group and recommend them to others.

    The event exceeded my expectations. Tobias showed us to find motifs in an area that I would describe as boring and not worth to pay attention. Thank you

    The architecture photography event was very useful. Toby took time to find out what knowledge everyone on the event had and during the session spent time with each person individually to give appropriate help to each person. The route that we took from the station was excellent and gave many good opportunities for taking photographs in an area of Brighton that I had previously overlooked
