"Very good explanations of the techniques and going from basic info (which I needed) through to feeling confident with the camera, exactly what I wanted out of the course"

"Practical photography exercises, attentive trainer, lovely centre staff"
ActionAid
"Really friendly and lovely environment. Course trainer was very knowledgeable, material was relevant, I liked that he went straight into it (rather than e.g. sharing his background) and that we had a lot of opportunities for shooting. It felt really practical, hands-on and will be definitely useful."
The Churchill Fellowship
"The trainer was knowledgeable and provided good examples and scenarios which are pragmatic.Friendly and approachable nice interactive session."

"Simon is extremely knowledgable and easy to learn from. His slide deck was really useful and it will continue to be as he's offered to share it. I feel much more confident when using my camera now, and can't wait to get start on my own. I hope to return to do more photography at a later date! Lunch, as always, was a delight. Thank you."

Home Office
"Really enjoyed the course, my instructor was super knowledgeable and I found the whole day really informative. It's great to get to keep the presentations afterwards, will be great to refer back. Simo was really helpful with all types of questions about anything related to photography, not necessarily just what was on the course structure. The group size was perfect, it was nice to be in a small group of 5 to get personalised help with working my camera and guidance on what type of lenses are right for what I will need moving forward. Thanks so much!"
