Recent Testimonials
“I have been using cameras for years, but I’ve always been frustrated by my inability to get the most out of the large array of functions on the camera. I have constantly taken photos on auto mode. A friend bought me a photography lesson with Paul for my birthday, and hey presto, I can now start using my camera in full manual mode without fear. Paul was informative, patient and above all, knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend his course to anyone else who wants to learn how to get the most from their camera.”

“Had a brilliant morning in Loch Lomond, the location and the weather were both stunning. Paul gave out a lot of knowledge in a way that works, and I can already see an improvement in my photography, and I am more confident in my approach to composition. Highly recommend and look forward to another training day in the future to build on what I learned today.”
