Below are the comments made by some of the students:
Ex student Owen Giles, Portrait course option 2
“The course has been a thoroughly enjoyable introduction to photography as a business opportunity. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful and I found myself really looking forward to the weekend sessions. I would recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of pursuing photography as a business or just as a hobby.”
Ex student Alex Parker, Portrait course option 2
“The course has given me the confidence to set up a portrait shoot and the skills to execute one to a good standard. I was surprised at how quickly I picked up the skills and this is obviously a reflection of the high quality of teaching. The staff have been very helpful and friendly as are very willing to give you advice even when our questions are probably very basic.”
Ex student Sam Herron, Wedding course option 2
“Informative, friendly atmosphere and this wedding course had a really good group cohesion. Both Andrew and Grahame worked hard to fulfill the remit of the course right up to the last minute. Any rare moments of waiting was filled by question and answer sessions. Until ready to progress with the next element to be covered Grahame even gave up some of his lunch time to ensure everyone was happy. This course had a way of making you see the unforeseen problems encountered, and gave ways to avoid or remedy many situations. The business acumen you will accumulate on this course will undoubtedly steer you away from many pitfalls a new business would encounter. This course is an absolute most for anyone wanting to seriously make a living from Wedding Photography.”
Ex student Hayley Cronin, Portrait course option 2
“The course has been great. I always went back to work on a Monday and hated being there due to the buzz created on the course, I wanted to drop everything and just do photography!”
Ex student Richard Ellis, Wedding course option 2
“Great overall course that focuses strongly on the business and commercial aspects of a photography business. The course has a good approach that breaks the process down into manageable sections and teaches you how to take professional shots that have been a pleasure to share.”
