  • Jeff has a very relaxed style and made everyone feel very welcome and at ease. The course was very interactive and had a good balance between practical and 'class' based input. For me personally the highlight was the photo shoot, the opportunity to photograph the bride and groom (models) in slow time. Taking time to learn and practice lighting and posing techniques without the pressure of a real event.

  • I recommend this course, for someone who has been out of photography for 20 years I found the experience and information invaluable as part of a fast-track back into the business. There's no substitute for actually being in a situation photographing a bride and groom in a typical location and having to deal with constantly changing light, and a different range of interiors. This course left me feeling a lot more confident about my future.
    I also recommend the center. Jeff is very communicative and answered all my questions. He's very enthusiastic about his craft and it definitely rubs off. There's was so much information it was difficult at times to take it all in, but when asked he was willing to go back over certain things and even demonstrate. Also, a lovely buffet lunch was provided along with coffee and biscuits morning and afternoon which was welcome after all the hard work we had been doing.

  • This is stuff you can't get from a book! The first day we spent photographing bride & groom models in a lovely location. We learned how to pose the models, handle different types of lighting and I got some great shots to use for my portfolio. The second day was a group critique which I found very useful, especially seeing how the other students processed their pictures as it gave me ideas to take away and try for myself. Processing with Photoshop was covered and although I was pretty confident with this editor it made me go away and try other things - as a result my processing skills have improved. Some of the business side of things was also covered, which is equally if not more important than the actual photographing. All in all it was a very worthwhile course.

What could be improved: The jaffa cakes during coffee breaks - apart from that nothing. There was nothing really bad about this course that I could put my finger on - I enjoyed it so much I've booked another one.
