"Just emailing you to say how much I enjoyed the two day photographic workshop in the Yorkshire Dales. I would recommend Paul, to any one interested in gaining more experience, in digital photography or medium-format camera tuition. Paul his prepared to show you everything to do with taking good pictures, from setting the camera up, composing the shot, and telling you how your picture could have been better taken... Kind Regards Paul. Good result!"

"Paul spent the entire day with us, from early in the morning til sunset... Paul's enthusiasm really shines through..."

Janet Matthews Lane, Bingley, W. Yorkshire

 

"As a novice, I was a bit worried that I would be totally out of my depth but I was made to feel comfortable asking questions which were answered clearly and simply. It was relaxed, informal, but the instruction was invaluable, whether novice or not. The group was small so we received individual attention. Paul's knowledge, both technical and of the countryside, made this a very informative and memorable day."

Sue Mitchell, Fewston, N. Yorkshire

 

"Paul has a professional and enthusiastic approach to his work. The many tips and techniques he showed me were invaluable; I'm already looking forward to my next photo shoot..."
