Latest course reviews...

Film Noir May 2019

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.
