Student Testimonials
Real Stories from Real Photographers!
"As a keen amateur photographer, the morning practical Private Coaching I attended with Rory was both informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Rory spent time establishing what I already knew and then shared some great tips and skills to help me improve my photography. As a communications trainer myself, I appreciated his vast knowledge, patient teaching style, and great listening skills. It was time very well spent, I’ll be back for more! "CT
"I loved Rory’s Beginner to Intermediate course - it was practical and informative. The theory was made very simple and accessible for me and I enjoyed the practical outings to apply my knowledge. He is incredibly supportive and patient and would highly recommend the Basic to Intermediate program if you are a keen photographer wanting to understand your camera and how to use it well" MJE
