Film Noir May 2019

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: MAY 2019

COURSE: The Art of Film Noir Portraits

This was an excellent, and very informative days training. I had previously attended the Night Photography course with Neil, and the days training, on film Noir shows Neil’s expertise, and knowledge in this genre. The explanation, and settings for flash, and available lighting techniques, were very well presented. I am looking forward to another course in the future.

COURSE: Experience Day: Landscapes - Using Filters

Beachy Head is a great location for some stunning photos; what the course did was to show us how to make the most of it. Changing tide, light and sky are all part of the setting. Great opportunity to learn how to use filters to good effect.

Fantastic Learning Experience

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: MAY 2019

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Dog Photography

As an extreme novice this was an excellent albeit intense introduction to the field of dog photography. The course was attended by photographers of all levels, including some professionals, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The KC facility is superb and we were able to shoot some fantastic dogs and meet their owners. The instructor was very knowledgeable and always available for questions. As a bonus he gave a very informative demonstration of photo editing at the end of the day.

The Art of Urban Portraits

RATING: 4.8 of 5
DATE: MAY 2019

COURSE: The Art of Urban Portraits

Very good course; I learnt a lot! I am no longer scared for Speedlites :). I enjoyed the course very much and found it releveant and highly useful. Tom pitched the course at the right level as I came away wanting to try the techniques I learnt. Will be doing other Nikon School courses!

Seeing the Light

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: APRIL 2019

COURSE: The Art of Urban Portraits

This course is very helpful for learning the finer points of using Speedlights to enhance your images. Neil Freeman, who is a true Guru in the use of the Nikon Creative Lighting System, delivers the course content in an informal and friendly atmosphere which makes all the technical aspects easy to understand.

Excellent Portrait Course!

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: APRIL 2019

COURSE: The Art of Urban Portraits

Another excellent course led by Neil Freeman, who gave a detailed insight into the theory behind portraits, followed by portrait shoots both inside and out with professional model Raffaella. This workshop has taken my portrait skills to a new level and enhanced my portfolio.

Great way to shoot birds

RATING: 4.6 of 5
DATE: APRIL 2019

COURSE: Experience Day: Wildlife - Birds of Prey

There are two key elements to this course and they work really well together.
The first is an introduction by Ricci to setting your camera up for shooting birds. Ricci shares his preferred approach, camera settings and lens choice and then deals with questions and helps a wide range of people, cameras (including non-Nikon) and abilities get set up.
Then there are the birds of prey and their handlers: these are both simply amazing and Ricci helps throughout the day as we practice. Great day!

Dog Photography - Rare Breeds

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: APRIL 2019

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Dog Photography

This was the 4th time I have attended a Nikon School Dog Photography day at the Kennel Club so that speaks for itself. These days provide fantastic opportunities to photograph lots of different and unusual breeds and have helped me to build up an impressive professional portfolio of dog pictures since I started serioius dog photography less than two years ago. Neil is an excellent trainer who can aim his advice at any level of photographer experience. Looking forward to the next day already.
