18th January 2020 - Would recommend the Fundamentals Workshop for anyone with digital SLR. The course uses both classroom and practical sessions to explain how to get the full and best use out of the camera. Craig delivers the subject with such enthusiasm.

28th August 2019 - What an amazing day spent at the Photography Workshop. I have loved photography for years, but could never venture past the Auto button! Craig simplified the mystique of photography and has given me the confidence to get out and really make the most of my camera!

27th August 2019 - I've been an amateur photographer for years but decided to attend Craig's "Photography Fundamentals Workshop” having purchased a new camera and not really getting the best results with it.
Craig takes you through how the different functions on your camera affect the output and how to use this to achieve taking the photographs you want. This has given me the confidence to experiment with settings that I had previously avoided. I also realised that over the years I had misunderstood several functions, so it was good to learn their correct use.
The workshop includes both classwork and practical photography in the local village so you can put into practice what you have learnt as you go along. Craig is very knowledgeable and I learnt a huge amount, I am very grateful and thoroughly recommend the workshop.

16th May 2019 - Anne and I really enjoyed Craig's workshop. It was prefessionally designed and presented, very helpful and a lot of fun. We learned a lot and are much more comfortable switching off the "auto" settings! Highly recommended for beginners and those with more experience. Well done.

5th March 2019 - What a wonderful experience! A great one-on-one workshop for me, a luxury, but I learned so much. Craig is a wonderful teacher and mentor, everything is very easygoing and very well explained. I would highly recommend Crag and his workshop! It is a great way to learn the more 'complicated' issues on a DSLR, well they turned out not to be so complicated .. Fun day... am now of France to put the knowledge into practice! And Craig, hope to see you soon again for a follow up!
