Jeff is a very warm and friendly guy. He uses photographic terms that everyone can understand. Having such a small group is great as you get more individual attention. The workshops have been excellent and I have learnt so much.
Tina Hall, Haverhill, Suffolk

Hi Jeff. Many thanks for a great digital photography workshop yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much from not knowing anything at all at the start of the day to coming home and being able to read my Which Camera magazine and actually knowing what I was reading was brill!! Today it clicked the more I thought about what we had done. Many thanks again I will be back to do another workshop. All the best.
Fiona Osborne, Colchester, Essex

Dear Jeff. Just to say I really enjoyed the photography training course yesterday and felt I learned a lot and now want to put it into practice where I'm sure a lot will all 'come together'. I hope to come on your Portrait & Lighting Photography course soon as I'm interested in taking photos of faces..... All the best and hope to see you again soon
Pat Rogers, Tiptree, Essex

Had an absolutely fantastic day on the Wedding Photography workshop - Informative and great value - I can't praise it highly enough. Jeff was professional amd friendly from the first minute and never batted an eyelid after countless questions from a demanding set of budding David Baileys. The models, Amy and Ben were impeccable, continuing to smile despite the 'bracing' conditions and gave us an unmissable opportunity to take show-stopping photos with Jeff's guidence. I can't wait to get on another course - my birthday is in a few months if my wife is looking for ideas ;-)
Chris Rowe, Halstead, Essex

Hi Jeff, firstly thanks for a great day on Saturday!!! The course was fantastic, as were all the people on the course. My wife Lisa was amazed when I got home and she saw the photo's of the day, she said something like 'WOW! They look like REAL PROFESSIONAL photo's'. Anyway I'll be looking to book my next course sometime this week
James Sullivan, Brentwood, Essex


Jeff, my head is totally buzzing with all the information that provided. But the best thing is that you delivered it in a style that has made it easy to understand and remamber. I just love the tip you gave for getting that 'special moment' expression from the bride.

Hi Jeff, just to let you know how happy i was with the introduction to wedding photopgraphy workshop on Saturday. I found the workshop very informative and especially like the way you took time with everyone to explain and offer hands on help. I really also enjoyed seeing the way you work and how your heart and soul is really into the moment.
Andrea Abbott, Braintree, Essex

The wedding training workshop course was great fun, very informative and actually doing practical work with the bride and groom was so much more useful than just going through theory. The models were excellent and so patient with us! Jeff was great, very knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable and explained everything in an easy to understand way. The day had a very relaxed feel to it but at the same time everything you needed was fitted into the time. A fantastic course and great value for money!
Sam Carter Photography, Whitehill Bordon, Hampshire
