students' feedback
What a fantastic day. I came from such a low base and learnt more with you in a day than I would have in 2 years!! ...... A professional day in every sense. You maximised our time & I would not have changed a thing. Fun & educational. You took me from fully auto everything to nothing but "M" all the time.
Many thanks for exceeding my expectations - Mike Stubbs

Once again you put together a really interesting, informative, creative and motivational workshop and even though I had the least experience by far out of the group I felt completely included. All my questions, no matter how basic, were answered with kindness and enthusiasm and that meant the world to me. ....Thank you so much for everything. I am completely addicted to your workshops. I am looking forward to the next one. - Josie Dincel

The workshop was great fun, very informative and I gained a lot of knowledge from both yourself and the other participants. I must admit i was a little nervous rocking up to a workshop where everyone seemed very advanced but that worry was soon put to bed as the artistic side came to the fore! Both models were fantastic and .... put me at ease which let me relax and concentrate on what I was trying to achieve....Having been a keen amateur photographer for some time it was great to get input from a pro and I look forward to being able to use that input to expand my portfolio and to actually achieve the shots that I see in my mind’s eye.....I hope that there is room on the other workshops you provide. - Ben Bateman

I enjoyed the workshop immensely, Daniel is easy to listen to and his passion for his work shows. I got exactly what I wanted from the workshop, I went to see a professional at work and tell me why and how he goes through each process, being able to take photos in a professional setting with all the professional support was the bonus.....I’m looking forward to choosing and attending my next workshop with you. - Chris O'Keefe

Thanks for yesterday (Studio Lighting Workshop). I had an amazing day – and learnt a lot.....

I had a great day with you on Saturday. I have attached a few photos that I took. I actually took about 450 photographs, so I have had to cull them a little!! I could have spent the whole day at the ship yard with the wonderful people who are renovating the "old timers", and may do so another day. The people there were just fantastic, and very entertaining to talk to. - Tim Beveridge

We bought our camera recently and found the instruction booklet daunting. What we found in this course was a working, walking tutorial in not only how to use it but how to get excellent results. If you're in a situation like ours I highly recommend this course! Mark & Katie - Mark O'Kane

Glenn our instructor was terrific and very patient. As a group, we were simliar in abilities and he kept us together when we needed to be and allowed us space to explore as well.

Ladies- you looked after us like we were royalty. I am out there every weekend getting amongst it with my camera- and I don't think you need two guesses as to who I will be promoting on a massive level. Thank you SPW - I will be back again...... and again!! :) - Jamie Watson
