Photography Training


"What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy challenge, and to tolerate ambiguity."

Martina Horner

When I achieved my first Fellowship in 2007, I realised that its was time for me to give something back to the industry that I loved.

I started mentoring and training some wonderful photographers in a range of skills, from studio lighting to posing and in gaining qualifications with many of the leading professional photographic bodies.

I have been included on judging panels for qualifications from Licencietship through to Fellowship, and also judged both regional and international print competitions.

My in depth knowledge of the processes and their requirements is great.

I have mentored and trained photographers from many of the top photographic bodies including, The British Institute of Professional Photographers, The Guild, The Master Photographers Association and The Royal Photographic Society.
