C Chan
Excellent & Dedicated Teacher! It has been an amazing experience learning from Keith.
Joanna Hazlan
I recently took a photography course with Keith, and it was an amazing experience. Right from the start, it was clear that this wasn’t just a basic class. Keith’s teaching style is unique and really engaging, helping you understand photography on a deeper level. Keith makes learning fun and easy to follow. He breaks down complex ideas into simple steps, making sure everyone can keep up, no matter their skill level. The course is very hands-on, so you’re always practicing what you’ve learned, not just listening.
Sherry
My friend and I recently took up the 1-on-1 photography course with Keith and we couldn’t be more impressed. Keith’s teaching style is incredibly practical and engaging. Instead of just lecturing from a textbook, he focuses on real-world application through actual shoots. This hands-on approach made the concepts much easier to grasp and apply.

Serene Tay
The class was informative and the hands-on was great in cementing the theory. Bene is an extremely talented and meticulous in his work.
Amelia Foo
Informative for a basic photography workshop. Bene shared the basic techniques and methods were useful and simple to understand. I wished the classes were longer and we had more opportunities to take more photos of different food items.
Nydia Hartono
I had an amazing experience taking Bene’s one light workshop. I learned so many valuable lessons about lighting that I often use in my photography practice. Bene’s teaching style is very hands-on and visual, something that is great for people with kinaesthetic and visual learning styles. He’s been very kind to provide answers to questions I have after the workshop. He has a heart of a teacher and doesn’t gate keep information. I highly recommend his workshops for both amateur and professional photographers looking to upgrade their skills.

Customer Reviews
Rahie Bali
I’ve been doing the course at the institute now for 9months, nearing the end. It has been a fantastic experience so far. The modules have a good combination of technical and practical details that allow you to freely choose your style, but also ensure that you have the knowledge to recalibrate. The narrative by George Seper, is funny, straightforward and practical, making it engaging to learn. For a novice such as myself, it has been a great learning experience so far. I want to also give a shout out to my tutor and mentor Gary Wallis, who has provided me we really good insights and feedback on my coursework.
Quinten
Great instructor and pacing. Would definitely recommend for those looking to further their skills.
Dawn Chorus
I’ve always been suspicious of online courses – how can you learn a practical subject when you’re not in the classroom with your teacher? But this course has revolutionised my thinking. The course materials are packed with technical details brought to life by George’s real-life examples. The assignments are proper tests. The Facebook group of your fellow students and past graduates is always there to offer support, empathy and feedback. But the icing on the cake? Your very own tutor, a professional photographer, to answer your questions, mark your assignments and guide you along the way. What a resource!

Attended the “Little Photo Adventurers” photography workshop with my child and we enjoyed it! The facilitators were patient with little ones and encouraged creativity with gentle guidance. Thank you, Gladys and Mathieu, for organising such a fun and nurturing experience for us! 🙂

Denise Tan
I’ve been looking for art classes for my 7-year old and decided to send him for one class here. What I loved about it was that it’s a very casual and unintimidating environment, both Miss G and Mathieu were warm and friendly, and there was no pressure to conform to a conventional template. I also liked that they threw photography into the mix, which was something novel.

Shandy Lim
Although I had attended lessons from other places before but SOP has taught me so much more. The decades long of experience the trainer Alan has really makes a big difference in my photography learning. I highly recommend it!
MengFei
SOP is definitely 5 stars. My photography skill had been stagnant for the past 10 ~ 20 years until I sign up the private one to one course at SOP. I learnt so much from Alan in the foundation course that leads me to sign up for his lighting course. Alan is very pragmatic and patient. He will go at great length to make me understand the concept. He is also generous in sharing his knowledge and experience. Alan doesn’t just teach.. he inspires!!

Enjoyed the course of 📷!

Karen is also a super lovely person – I can’t thank her enough for giving me the skills and knowledge to use my camera properly and take lovely photos of my daughter. I feel quite inspired after taking her courses!

Karen Lucas Photography is a fantastic school as well as a photography community with an invaluable breadth of knowledge and support, even after the courses are over. Karen is an excellent instructor: she is professional, incredibly organized – paying great attention to detail with a well thought out and thorough course and complementary materials, she’s very attentive, and she has a way of putting complex photography techniques into layman’s terms. Her classes are held in a convenient, clean and welcoming location, and she is well prepared each and every class, making sure to provide clear communication to students beforehand what is required of them. Not to mention Karen herself is such a kind, lovely person! Am so happy I found her classes online and would definitely recommend.
