Stuart’s half day photography class was oustanding, having been on two previous courses, Stuart made all aspects of what is often a minefield, light work in simple, easy to understand language for all who attended the course. His depth of knowledge and un fussy manner made asking questions easy, particularly so for the beginners, in a class of photographers of all levels, were comfortable and at ease. Your depth of knowledge and uncomplicated explanations made the 4 hours fly in. Thank you for this introduction, to the “Magical world of Photography!”

The course was excellent with friendly advice and plenty of opportunities to practise new skills. The group I attended was very diverse from novice to keen amateur and Stuart set a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The content of the course was just right, and Stuart’s ability to find the correct settings for a very wide range of cameras from DSLR to Bridge (hybrid) was very impressive. Despite the very cold day and the grey and overcast conditions the sessions outside were very valuable. As someone whose hobby has progressed over a 40-odd year period from Zenit E film SLR to a Canon DSLR and many things in between, I would have no hesitation whatever recommending this excellent course to everyone. Thanks Stuart for an brilliant day!

Stuart made you feel welcome as soon as you arrived, offering tea / coffee & creating a friendly environment. The class I attended started of slowly going through the basics, Stuart had great patience attending to each individuals requirements, that they had different cameras & differing levels of experience. The pace then picked up & Stuart went into the camera controls / settings in good detail ensuring that no one was left behind or not fully involved. Overall I enjoyed myself & felt that I had picked up sufficient knowledge to get off the auto mode on my SLR. Thanks to Stuart for a great camera course.

A warm welcome from Stuart (on a very cold morning) set the tone for a very interesting and very helpful course. A disparate group of students with different cameras was very quickly put at ease by Stuart and the way he explained the controls on each camera certainly helped me understand much more than the auto settings of my camera! He shared his knowledge of the art and definitely has pointed me in a new and more interesting direction. Stuart made sure there was time for questions and answers and I certainly did not feel that any question that I had were “daft” or “silly”. All in all, an excellent experience and I will almost certainly take further courses with Stuart.

Got Stuarts course as a present from my children for christmas. Had my camera for over a year and was not really using it. Stuarts course was easy to follow and put across in a friendly manner. He made things simple for me to understand. I am looking forward to getting out and about with my camera. Stuarts thanks and well done. alex mcguire.
