Student Reviews


One Of The Best Photography Workshops

The “Theatre of Botanicals" was one of the best photography workshops I have ever taken. It inspired me to see beyond the boundaries of my own photographic journey by incorporating emotional objects into my artwork and seeing my photographs in a completely new light. In addition to being an enthusiastic and accomplished photographer, Leanne is a gifted instructor who brought a wealth of resources to each class.

Evoke Emotion and Originality in Photography

I loved Leanne’s passion for creative artistry and her ability to inspire us to embrace new ways to evoke emotion and originality in our photography. Her learning environment and teaching style encouraged exploration, creativity and fun! I look forward to attending many more of Leanne’s workshops.

Eloquent and Lyrical Quality

Leanne is a kindred spirit. Her photography is art. A canvas which reflects her heart and soul through color and composition, layers and veils. Her musical theater background enhances her artistic expression by bringing an eloquent and lyrical quality to her work. As both a classmate and a student of Leanne’s, we share a passion for creative photography and abstract botanicals. I have been inspired by Leanne’s organic experimentation in the visual arts, by her approach to creating with a bold yet humble confidence, most importantly, by her warmth, kindness, and optimism. Leanne is a welcome bright light in the visual art world.
