Ashley was very down to earth and really understood how difficult some people might find the information. I must say I found everything was very well explained and there was a good amount of detail and many examples. This was a great course for beginners, it gives you the confidence to start taking photos without using auto all the time. I feel like I have a new camera with all the knowledge I have gained on an excellent introductory day. Ashley was a very patient teacher.

Before going I seriously wondered whether I was doing the right thing booking the photography holiday, never having been away on my own before with people I didn’t know. However, I shouldn’t have worried, as from meeting up in Bilbao arrivals it was obvious that the group was very friendly, and we had a great time. Travelling was easy with your updates re the air travel and you driving us to the best places to take amazing pictures and stopping whenever we suggested, thank you. The hotel was great and the food amazing – I would go again. I miss the views from the dining room at breakfast…the South Downs don’t quite match up!

As a complete beginner, I found Ashley to be very patient, knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. The results are stunning as I took some great looking pictures on the day. He has real passion for the craft and sparks interest in anyone that listens to him. I will be spending some time learning more and coming back to Ashley to for some Advanced training. Really really happy with what I’ve learned.

After completing a course with Ashley a few years earlier which was super beneficial and gave me so much insight on how to use and experiment with my camera, I instantly contacted Ashley to arrange a 1-1 photography course to learn lighting and studio techniques to enable me to feel confident to pursue a career with photography. Ashley knows his stuff and comes across so professional and friendly that I felt very comfortable to ask questions, practice and learn in a beautiful calm environment. I highly recommend Ashley and his courses 5* Thank you, I am very grateful for your time and teaching.

I’ve dabbled with photography for years, attended camera clubs, was even married to a photographer but no-one has succeeded in explaining ISOs, F-stops, apertures, shutter speeds in a way that made any sense to me….until now. Ashley was so relaxed, listened to me, obviously got a very good handle on where I was at knowledge-wise and explained things in a way that made sense. He completely de-mystified it, encouraged me to experiment, provided relaxed learning opportunities and left me enthused and confident enough to continue my learning journey on my own. I can’t recommend Ashley enough. Best photographic training out there, I reckon.

I recently completed the Online Beginners Photography Diploma Course. On the course I was able to study photography in much greater detail whilst having the support of my mentor Ashley. His support, knowledge and willingness to help was invaluable. You can work at your own pace so no pressure or deadlines. I have finished this course with a much greater understanding and depth of knowledge of this fabulous subject. It was an excellent course and would thoroughly recommend it.
