Once again having attended the first part of the course, the second part under Ricci's guidance , I found the course both informative and fun. his relaxed style is great. the practical work was very useful as a new Nikon camera can be daunting .The course was great at covering the different aspects of picture taking and gave me much more understanding of what my camera can do. I really enjoyed both courses- great value and very useful as an entry into basic photography. many thanks. nick wege

This course was so much more than I'd hoped for. It was a lovely group of people with a fantastic instructor! If you are starting out with photography and need a better understanding of lighting and how to take portraits, this really is a great course to go on!

So we had Ricci as our course trainer and not as advertised. But that really does not matter as Ricci was great at delivering the course and his knowledge was great and open to helping everyone out on the day. I would really suggest anyone attend this day as it was really informative. The training facility is great and the team makes you feel really welcome. I'm sure I'll attend another course in due time...

I loved this trip. The weather was perfect. We saw the lights almost every day. Neil and Mark Andreas Jones took us to superb locations, some of them less well known to other photographers. It was fantastic to have the expertise of someone who really understood how Iceland's weather moves and the micro-climates. This enabled us to swap locations and shoot in good light before revisiting the original plan in better weather. I have come away inspired by Iceland's rugged beauty and 6000 photos.

We were very lucky to photograph the Northern Lights on the doorstep of the hotel. As these lights are usually elusive both Neil & Mark kept a nightly watch for us and we were rewarded with spectacular displays on 2 nights. Both Neil & Mark were on hand to give their advice on best camera settings to capture this phenomenon. The Icelandic landscape is monochromatic in winter during the day, so most of our shoots were of sunrises and sunsets. Neil & Mark were great in guiding us to locations.

We started the workshop with Ricci giving us a very instructive talk covering every aspect of the camera and how we be should be shooting the different shots we would be taking. He then carefully explained the route we would be taking and the best vantage points to take the best photos. We then started our adventure and he was patient, helpful, guiding us with everything we might be needing.
The evening was great in every way …I thoroughly enjoyed myself and learnt a huge amount.

An excellent afternoon in great company with Nikon's top trainers and other course members. A full afternoon of new photographic challenges and learning new skills.

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.

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

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.
