”Photowrap is an ingenious way for ambitious and inquisitive photographers to learn how to enter world of documentary photography. These workshops with Mimi aren't easy - they are designed for people who want to work hard at their photography but with a lot of personal effort and a great teacher there is every chance for rapid improvement and an increase in confidence." Stephen McLaren, photographer and Special Guest Reviewer Photowrap 1st edition (7th-28th March 2011) “After having taken some photography and documentary photography courses over the last few years, I have found that nothing compares to my experience in Photowrap with Mimi Mollica. Not only is he extremely talented, but he has that rare ability to feel intuitively how each photographer wishes to express him/herself at heart, and not only technically, but emotionally. He constantly makes us reach beyond our zone of comfort, and is very demanding, but always positively encourages us to reach higher. Among all the professionals I have worked with, nobody has been that dedicated, and inspiring. My way of photographing has clearly reached another level, and now I just keep asking for more! This course is a gem. ” Valerie Loiret, student Photowrap 1st edition (7th-28th March 2011)
