Awesome Iceland

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: FEBRUARY 2020

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures: Iceland Winter Wonderland

Any photographers bucket list should include a trip to magical Iceland. The trip was run by Neil Freeman & Mark Andreas Jones (local knowledge & Pro photographer). The course was run superbly, we ticked all the boxes of the most iconic places to visit. We were very lucky with the weather as we saw the Aurora Borealis in its full glory. Neil & Mark were excellent with their knowledge of camera settings and very helpful with editing at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this trip.

Not On This Planet

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: FEBRUARY 2020

COURSE: Nikon School Adventures: Iceland Winter Wonderland

Finally managed to visit Iceland and its all thanks to Nikon School UK. This destination is simply a photographers paradise and by far the best course the school has run, and I have attended pretty much every workshop. Neil Freeman's knowledge and experience really helped me and fellow photographers get a large portfolio of photographs which I shall treasure for a lifetime - this is the ultimate photography course and I highly recommend attending as you will not be disappointed

A Shed Full Of Character

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: FEBRUARY 2020

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Steam Trains Didcot

Being a steam locomotive enthusiast this course was heaven for me. The scene setters did a tremendous job of adding character to the shoot which with Ricci’s guidance proved to be very successful. Would recommend it to anyone with a liking for steam locomotives.

Low Light in London 31st Jan

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: FEBRUARY 2020

COURSE: Experience Day: Low Light - London Southbank

I am new to photography, so I was attending as a beginner. Instantly felt welcome and comfortable by all the staff. Started with a comprehensive technical brief before hitting the streets. Locations were well chosen and convenient. Ricci was, as ever very helpful and continually walking between the attendees giving tips on composure. This is my second Nikon course, they are such a pleasure to attend, I always come away feeling like I've taken a big step forward. Big thank to the team at Nikon.

How to make time fly!

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: FEBRUARY 2020

COURSE: Experience Day: Portraits - Steam Trains Didcot

Exclusive entry after hours to a truly remarkable and historic railway setting. What better way could you spend a cold January evening, but amongst fine steam locomotives and an interactive low-light photo session? Characters in period costume, excellently directed, but happy to oblige with individual posed sets. Maybe no real steam during the evening but the smoke machines and effect-lighting provided an atmosphere better than the real thing (except the smell of hot engines and coal smoke).

A Wonderful Experience !!!

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JANUARY 2020

COURSE: Experience Day: Low Light - London Southbank

This was my first training experience with Nikon School and this definitely won't be the last. Ricci spent almost an hour explaining some of the fundamentals of low light photography and created lot of excitement by sharing stunning pictures of locations we were to visit. The evening was enjoyable, fun and most important full of new learnings & this was all possible because of Ricci's friendly and professional approach. A lovely evening !!!

An illuminating evening

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JANUARY 2020

COURSE: Experience Day: Low Light - London Southbank

Criss-crossing London to photograph some iconic landmarks in low light was a fascinating session. The classroom teaching at the start got me ready to capture some great images. Ricci was very knowledgable and professional and gave me the confidence to try all sorts of shots. A great evening. Thanks so much.

A perfect kick-starter for portrait photography

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JANUARY 2020

COURSE: Experience Day: Portrait Photography

This getting started with portrait photography course is a well-rounded and balanced day to get to grips with various camera settings and basic lighting set-ups for portrait photography. Neil, our tutor, was extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic about the subject; happy to assist with any questions as we went along. There was a good insight into some of the key points of portrait photography through a presentation in the morning followed by ample opportunities to photograph the model later on.

Great low light evening in London

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JANUARY 2020

COURSE: Experience Day: Low Light - London Southbank

Ricci led a really great evening, he set out some clear guidelines to achieve creative shots and what we could expect when out in the streets. The group had plenty of time at the various locations to experiment with different settings. Ricci was always on hand to lend his knowledge and expertise. I was pleased with some of my shots and I planning to hit the streets again to improve my technique.

Great opportunity to practice long exposures

RATING: 5 of 5
DATE: JANUARY 2020

COURSE: Experience Day: Low Light - London Southbank

My third session with Ricci and again I found him a great tutor - clear, supportive, fun, helpful and keen to make sure everyone got what they needed from the evening. A brief intro at the school with most of the time spent out and about in great spots around London getting light trails, lovely views on the Thames etc while learning about long exposures. Excellent! Thanks Ricci
