"Fox and gem photography are amazing , I just completed their painterly hybrid workshop both online and in person and also did the colour workshop . Their knowledge is superior in colour and they are the two most caring and patient teachers I have ever had. They want you to grow and succeed, the are beyond supportive and are their for you to learn and grasp the concepts . Their is ever a stupid question . I’ve been to many workshops and these two have brought my work to a whole new level . How they teach and support their students is truly special. I truly recommend them if you want to increase your skill levels in photography." S.G

"I have taken two workshops with Fox and Gem - The Colour Workshop and The Fall Painterly Workshop and Retreat. Tamara and Ammara are by far the best photography teachers I have ever had. They know everything there is to know about color theory, lighting, shooting, and editing, and they are happy to share all their knowledge with their students. I left both workshops feeling very inspired and with lots of new skills and ideas. The amount of preparation and work that they put into their teaching is truly amazing. I highly recommend taking any one of their workshops. My work has improved significantly under their guidance, and I am forever grateful to have been fortunate enough to learn from them." T.K

"I have never been to a photography retreat before so when I signed up for Fox and Gem’s Painterly Retreat I was very nervous and afraid I would feel overwhelmed. Now that I have completed it, I’m actually nervous that I will never find another photography retreat to top this one.  From the moment we arrived, you could tell how much thought Ammara and Tamara put into every detail. The location for the retreat was perfect and they chose the ideal time for year. The lodgings were amazing as were the other attendees, the models, the dresses designed for the models by Anna Triant, and the picturesque photography locations scouted by them. It truly was reflective of Tamara and Ammara, and their exquisite attention to detail in all things. They alleviated all my worries about attending because they are two of the most knowledgeable and patient teachers I have ever had. I feel like I learned so much from them from scouting, lighting, posing, and editing. I am inspired to go back and practice it all. And I feel like I formed friendships with other photographers to last a lifetime. The attendees were amazing and I plan on keeping in touch with everyone for a very long time. This truly was the best photography experience I have ever had and i can’t wait to sign up for anything else offered by them in the future." A.R

"The day I met Ammara and Tamara I was at my first Photographers retreat in Canada. From the first moment, they were so very approachable, and their knowledge of the art of photography is apparent in all their work. The minute I learned of the latest retreat, I knew I would be attending! When they teach, they don't overwhelm you with information, but rather feed it to you in a timely manner, so that your brain doesn't have to explode trying to remember everything. The group these ladies put together was outstanding! Not one of the attendees tried to lord their knowledge over the others, which is something unique with that many Uber talented photographers attending. I loved them all. I could go on for days writing about the wonderful job these ladies did, but I need to get some sleep! Thanks so much to the ladies who provided the best of everything! And Anna Triant, you truly outdid yourself!!" L.K
