Attending runway for the first time l was blown away by the atmosphere and sheer experience of it all. Elli is an amazing mentor with many years experience and if anyone out there has a general interest in learning Fashion Photography or would like to take your photography further this is something I highly recommend. Just do it. It will be life changing.”
