Course Reviews

Emily
It's a fantastic course and it so nice being able to use your camera without having to set it to auto!!! Ian is a great teacher who breaks everything down for you and it's a good laugh at the same time!! Love being able to take a pic of a water fall with Smokey effect 

John

I enjoyed the course a lot, found it very friendly and useful. Really quite difficult for Ian with all the differing equipment and abilities, but he managed to find a happy medium to suit all of us and we became quite a close knit group.

I would be interested in further courses,  covering composition and photo manipulation

Stephen

I considered myself as someone who knew a bit about photography, having SLR cameras for most of my life, however Ian really adds the icing to the cake. In his down to earth and practical manner he conveys the technicalities of photography to all levels from complete novice through to seasoned photographers with his obvious passion for the art. I would highly recommend attending Ian's courses if you are looking to get more from your photography  

Lara

This course was great for me to get back into photography after a break, it was informative and fun, I definitely recommend it!'
