Reviews :
I've taken a number of courses from TCI and learned a lot, This portfolio review with David Bathgate really moved me forward. David pointed out small details in my work - both good and not so good, that I hadn't even noticed or thought of. For the price, time, and personal attention, this review isn't to be overlooked.
My Porfolio Review with David Bathgate was well worth time and money. He pointed out things in my work that I would not have noticed. My photography has definitely improved from the experience.
