“I was a little apprehensive and excited at the same time. I wasn't sure what to expect after seeing the photos Wendy and Tim posted on Facebook and
Instagram.

I had never traveled internationally before, so it was a little intimidating to go to airports or a country I'd never been to. However, it opened a whole new door for me to experience life in a way I'd never experienced before.

I found Wendy Klein's and Timothy Poulton's workshop to be well thought out and performed overall. The schedule for travel and photo locations was near perfect, and the room accommodations were more than adequate.

I have never laughed so much and had so much joy due to the camaraderie and entertaining conversation. It will last as a benchmark for quite a
while. A few of the things that I learned from them both were…

Number 1 - How to adjust the white balance in the camera.

Number 2 - How to use luminosity masks in Photoshop.

Number 3 - How to do long exposure photos.

They both gave us adequate warning and supervision when in a perilous photography location.

One location was at Diamond Beach in Iceland, where they told us not to stand in front of icebergs. The reason was this: the icebergs as giant as a car will move, and they can kill you as a wave moves them on the beach.

Another location was at the sea stacks, where the waves crashed on the beach, and a couple of times, we had to run out of the way. If we got caught in the waves, we would not only lose our cameras, but we may lose our lives as we were possibly going to be sucked out into an undertow into the freezing water.

Cliff edges and icy walkways were also concerns, but they were always there, willing to lend a helping hand and encourage.

Would I do it again? Absolutely. It was the best experience I've had, next to getting married and having kids.”

“Having done a couple of workshops and some photo walks and meetups with Wendy, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Wendy really gets the mix right. A great combination of easy understand theory with ample opportunity to practice new techniques in new and interesting environments . Each workshop has been a group situation and Wendy managed to give individual attention to all participants.

I came away happy that I practiced and learned new techniques in a friendly environment. Can’t ask for more than that.

If you want to hone your photography skills, you won’t go wrong booking a workshop with Wendy. I look forward to joining her for more.”

“Over the past few months I have been fortunate enough to join Wendy for
workshops in the Scenic Rim, Kangaroo Island and Brisbane City. Wendy is a
great teacher with a wealth of knowledge which she enthusiastically shares
with her workshop participants. Wendy is patient and generous with her
time. Her passion for photography is infectious. I wouldn’t hesitate to
recommend Wendy to anyone looking to improve their photography skills or
who wants stress-free guidance to beautiful and unique places to
photograph.”

“I just returned from an extraordinary ten day photo excursion with Wendy Klein to Iceland.  I’ve known Wendy for over five years online and this was my first time meeting her in person.  I’ve admired her landscape photography and it was nice to see her in action.  Wendy is a true master at her craft and it was pure joy watching a master at work.

This was an adventure of a life time and a dream come true.  First to work with a world renown photographer.  Second, to visit a country that has so many photo opportunities and lastly, to learn firsthand composition, camera settings and most importantly, photo editing.  My goal was to challenge myself and improve my photography skills.  With Wendy’s help I met those goals.  I hope you get to take one of her workshops or go on a photo excursion with her.  She is enthusiastic, kind, knowledgeable and has amazing boundless energy. She was there to answer questions and give pointers in the field and during post processing.

I can’t thank Wendy enough for this unique small group photo experience.”

“I attended a 12-day photography workshop in Iceland with Wendy Klein.
After I sustained a knee injury on the flight to Iceland, it completely changed the landscapes I was able to traverse and shoot.  Wendy patiently guided me to the best spots I could shoot from and helped me with settings and compositions for various shots:  Sunrise, Sunset, Northern Lights, Waterfalls, long exposures, etc.  She taught me basic starting points with settings including finding the proper color balance, filters, and how to adjust according to what I wanted to accomplish with my photos.  When I couldn’t walk to the proper spot, she brought my camera to the right spot and pushed the shutter button for me after I adjusted the camera settings. She even lent me one of her ND filters to use during long exposures because I was inadvertently missing a few components in my filter system. Wendy went above and beyond to deliver a fantastic experience of incredible scenery and education! I highly recommend joining Wendy on her trips if you want to learn her techniques for amazing landscape and long-exposure photography!”

“Wendy was a fabulous coleader on our February workshop in Japan! She was
very helpful and generous with her time and helping group participants get
the best shots and the most out of their photography gear! Thanks for a
fabulous time, Wendy!”

Julie Elliott

“I have been to a few of Wendy's workshops in Qld and a trip to Japan with Wendy and Tim Poulton this year. What fabulous time I had... Wendys enthusiasm and experience makes for a great learning experience, no matter what your skill level. She is very approachable and helpful with whatever is asked of her.

Im very happy to recommend Wendy' workshops and tours to everyone...you will have a fun time and learn lots.”

Lin Loy

“Wendy is not just an amazing award-winning photographer, but also a patient, respectful, organized, and knowledgeable workshop tutor. Whether you are new to photography, an old hand, or somewhere in between, Wendy is able to guide, teach, and encourage. I definitely came away from her workshops with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, having learned or refined new skills, and feeling welcome and part of the group.”

Chris Grant

“Finally was able to attend one of Wendy’s workshops at South Burnett. It was the best investment I made to improve my photography experience. Wendy went out of her way to show me how to get the best setting and composition on my camera. I am now planning towards going to her workshop next year in New Zealand I know I won’t be disappointed. Thank you Wendy on a great workshop and gaining practical experience from you.”

Anne Pappalardo

"We learned the fundamentals, under close supervision, but equally importantly, came away with gorgeous photos. Wendy is a clear, organised, and thoughtful teacher. At the location, Wendy supervised composition and settings (they change a lot as the sun either rises or sets), all the while talking to us about myriad factors that go into a great landscape shot."

Jackie Prentice

"I've attended multiple of Wendy's well-organized workshops, thoroughly enjoying each one. Wendy's passion and expertise make the sessions both fun and informative. Her clear explanations and helpful notes enhance the learning experience. With limited participants, there's ample one-on-one guidance for camera settings, composition, and filter choices. I always leave with a smile and highly recommend Wendy's workshops to photographers of all levels."

Janelle Gordon

“I participated in a 14 day workshop in New Zealand led by Wendy Klein and Timothy Poulton. My purpose was to develop my understanding and skills in using my camera within a beautiful setting with input from professionals to help me. My experience exceeded my expectations. Being part of a small group meant that I received the assistance I needed. Wendy and Timothy advised on settings and composition and regularly checked in on how I was going when shooting. Wendy and Timothy are certainly one of a kind! The locations were fantastic and the group vibe was like being with long term friends. I am already planning to do another workshop with Wendy and Timothy, as I am very satisfied that I have found fantastic mentors with whom I will continue to progress in my skills.”

Lucinda Clarke

“I contacted Wendy Klein and arranged a one-on-one workshop to help me understand and use the Nisi filters I received for Christmas. Wendy was incredibly accommodating, arranging a time and place that suited me while ensuring a conducive learning environment and the opportunity for capturing wonderful photos.

Wendy took the time to understand my learning style, assessing what I already knew and what I aimed to achieve from our session. Her teaching methods were easy to follow, and she made sure I grasped each step before moving forward. We practiced each element multiple times leading up to sunset, preparing me to capture several great shots independently (with her helpful supervision) as the sun began to set.

Just when I thought our session was concluding, Wendy surprised me by providing a comprehensive set of notes, giving me something to refer back to in the future.

I wholeheartedly recommend Wendy's workshops to anyone interested. I am eager to attend another one whenever the opportunity arises.”

Roz Zito

“Wendy Klein is an exceptional photography instructor whom I have had the pleasure of learning from in several workshops. Her expertise and dedication to teaching are truly commendable. Wendy is incredibly generous with her time, sharing her extensive knowledge on how to capture the essence of a scene. She is patient and thorough, ensuring that her students grasp the fundamental basics essential for creating outstanding photographs.

One of Wendy's remarkable skills lies in her expertise with long exposures. She excels at extracting breathtaking colors and atmospheric effects, making her an expert in this field. Moreover, Wendy pays meticulous attention to composition, guiding her students to find the best angles and frames for their photographs. She imparts valuable techniques on achieving optimal results, emphasizing the crucial role composition plays in creating compelling images.

What sets Wendy apart is her commitment to providing personalized attention to each student. By keeping her workshop groups small and enlisting additional help, she ensures that every participant receives the guidance they need. Wendy's written guides have been invaluable to me, serving as a helpful reference long after the lessons have ended. Her teaching style is both caring and thoughtful, making the learning experience enjoyable and free from any sense of patronization or judgment.

In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Wendy's workshops to anyone seeking to enhance their photography skills. Her talent, coupled with her ability to impart knowledge with patience and empathy, makes her workshops an invaluable learning opportunity.”
