Testimonials

I am a middling hobbyist in photography and first met Andy last year in Morocco. His demeanor and professionalism were the reasons I signed up for the Japan trip.
The trip exceeded my expectations in terms of locations and the time of day we arrived at each place that I, on my own, would have spent a lot of time finding. Andy shoots with a Sony camera, but is knowledgeable about other brands and is able to help his clients troubleshoot any issues that arise with those.
Two of his qualities, so necessary for groups with disparate personalities and abilities, are an abundance of patience and a sense of humor. Leading these groups must, at times, seem like herding cats. Despite that, we managed to leave and arrive within the timeframes for optimal shooting. I would recommend Andy’s workshops to any photographer of any ability. I believe that he definitely delivers in terms of value given for money spent.

I am of the opinion that photography workshop leaders should not “mother” you to get the same standard shot for all participants but rather be available to help you with your own vision.
In that sense, Andy was great! His technical and composition knowledge and his ability to guide me through my work in the field has been excellent. Secondly, his pre-work in scouting the locations and allowing us to be in the right place for these was also highly appreciated.
Most importantly, I believe I have made a new friend because of this trip and that says a lot more than any of the technical stuff. I highly recommend Andy’s workshops and look forward to participating in another one hopefully in the not too distant future.

We covered some great locations, and the leader's knowledge of the area meant we didn't waste time getting to the best locations at the optimum times. The accommodation and food were excellent, and the leader's knowledge meant we got a good 'taste' of life as well as some truly memorable memories and images.

I’ve worked with Andy professionally for retail property development photography, and personally attending The Giving Lens tour in Morocco in 2018.
Andy can work with any scenario he is placed in and achieve amazing results. Andy is quick thinking, extremely patient and methodical with his clients to ensure he delivers the outcomes they desire.
I have no hesitation recommending Andy for professional business photography needs or his photography tours and classes

I felt the instructors push you to improve at each shoot and there was great camaraderie between all the participants. I could not recommend this trip enough. An amazing experience made better by the teaching and the company.

Andy Yee was the leader on a recent travel photography workshop that I attended in Morocco. From the moment I arrived he felt like a friend. He was very informative and helpful during the trip. He never lost his patience with me regardless of my never ending questions!!
His photography knowledge and skills are an inspiration to me. I would highly recommend his workshops and look forward to attending another one in the near future.

In my experience, professionals in all fields struggle with teaching what they know in ways that are easily understood by all. Andy is one of the few who is able to turn his professional knowledge into practical communication. He bridges the gap between theory and practice by using creativity as a springboard supported by elements of good photography. This has helped me carry the skills he’s taught me to other places I go.
His vast experiences and practical instructional approach is a great combination in a photo educator. From each session with Andy, I’ve come away with photos that match what my eyes see, rather than 1,000s of flat images. Andy’s instruction has helped me be more conscious of what I’m looking for in image composition. As a result, I end up with images that hold great memories for me. I highly recommend taking any of Andy’s workshops and / or scheduling one on one time with him.

I first saw Andy pictures on Instagram and liked his photography style. His landscapes are breathtakingly simple, elegant and yet profound.
I joined his Japan workshop in November 2019. Every day we photographed different parts of nature, sunrise, sunset, people, places, street scenes and cultural shrines and buildings.
The days were divided into a series of photographic challenges that became the steppingstones that built onto the next day and the next. Andy is a patient and knowledgeable teacher and encourages creativity, yet he guides when necessary. I found his workshop to be stellar in dollar value, education and experience. I highly recommend his workshops they are truly unforgettable.
