Haley was an excellent instructor who took time to answer everyone's questions while still covering all of the material.

​My beautiful Canon DSLR sat neglected for a couple of years - and then when I took it out of the…read morecamera bag I quickly realized that I needed a complete refresher. That actually happened a few times before I discovered Boston Photography Workshops.​ I had even tried getting back up to speed with an online Creative Live course specifically on my camera - but it wasn't enough. So I took a chance and set up a private session with Maria and I am so glad I did! The time we spent together exceeded my expectations and the trepidation I felt about "all those buttons" is gone. Maria was extremely well prepared, knowledgable and very responsive to my specific questions and needs. She had great visuals to describe all concepts and of course I had lots of hands on actually working with my camera. Long story short - if you've been searching for a jump-start for your photography or if need a refresher you'll find it here! Thank you to Boston Photography Workshops and Maria - I'm looking forward to future workshops together!

I took a class with Suzanne Merritt when I was visiting Boston and had a fantastic time. I learned…read morehow to take my camera off automatic and actually learn how to use my camera. Suzanne has a real gift for explaining things and was extremely patient. The workshop was so much fun. We got handouts that I now keep in my camera bag for easy reference. We were given assignments and instructions before each activity. We had time then to practice then gather back as a group. After the class we went for coffee and had an opportunity to share our photos and get feedback from Suzanne. It was the best photography class I've ever had. I can't wait to take another when I return to Boston. I highly recommend the Curious Soul Photo School!

They learned a lot more about photography than I expected them to in just one week, and they came home with lots of cool pictures to share with us. The outings that they do in and around Boston are great - they would be cool field trips even without the photography part. It's a great option for middle school aged kids who have grown out of some summer camp options. My kids have enjoyed it at ages 11 through 15. I highly recommend Big Picture and will definitely be sending my kids again next year.

The kids travel around daily to many different locations in Boston and surrounding areas in small groups for photographic inspiration and fun. They also have daily downtime in the artist space. We loved the small group aspect and the individual attention. One of my children has some significant social issues, and I 100% felt that the owner Jennifer really listened and worked to accommodate my child. I was beyond pleased. This was my daughter's favorite camp of all the camps she has attended over the years, hands down. Highly recommend!

Something got me interested in glass blowing. I know myself, and I knew I probably wouldn't have…read moreheaps of fun... but it is something I wanted to experience for myself. After reading the reviews, I decided to go here. I took the glassblowing sampler, which serves as an introduction to the art. My two instructors were Matt and Pat. The first thing we did was go through the shop, and see what kinds of things they do. There were no visible sales tactics involved, more like a "this is what we do". Then we got to the room where the melted glass actually lives... now folks... they tell you to bring a bottle of water, bring one. Molten glass is incredibly hot, and therefore the room is too. They go over what we will be making, and how we will be making it, as well as things that could go wrong. In this glass we make paperweights. Then we go over safety and practice three times to make sure we got everything down. Yes, burns do happen, but they do everything they can to minimize the risk. When it is your turn, one of the instructors will be working with you one on one to guide you through the process, and ensure you don't get a burn from glass whose temperate well exceeds 1,000 degrees. However, this is where this place lost some stars. When it was my turn, Pat was the person working with me. While I appreciate his help, he did many things that were extra, and unrelated to safety, such as spinning the rod. While minor, and while I was the one manipulating the glass, I still felt it took away from the experience. It was more like me assisting him than him assisting me. You don't get the opportunity to "blow" into the glass in this class, but it was demonstrated to us at the end. Some more notes: Instructors were fairly chill, but no-nonsense dudes. When you have molten glass, joking around is very dangerous. The owner has a great sense of humor! And finally, molten glass is very viscous. It is not as easy to manipulate as it looks. In conclusion: if I had enjoyed glass blowing, I would return here. But, alas, I found it was not for me. Definitely worth it for the experience though!
