Welcome to the student page 

The majority of the photographs taken here were by students
attending the beginner's day, most starting off with very
little knowledge of photography - Well done everyone,
I think they're brilliant pictures! Anthony Cullen

Quotes from students

Below I have listed some of the quotes students have given me
after completion of the course.

"Many thanks for a very informative and extremely enjoyable day.
I really felt that I learnt a great deal - particularly with regard to
composition and manual settings. I will now be able to make more
use of the functions on my camera - some of which I had no idea
existed - and hopefully create some more interesting photographs.
I was very pleased with my print - the black and white option was
perfect".
Sandra Clarke

"I found the whole day a wonderful experience. I learnt a great deal.
Anthony spent a lot of time explaining everything, making it all very
easy to understand.  I have been photographing since I was 8, but
never really fully understood about exposures etc, but I do now!
Pin Mill is a truly wonderful place to visit, and the pub lunch was
delicious. Can't wait to go back for the Intermediate Day".
Jayne Burton

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Beginners Photographic Day at the end of
Sept, your introduction was both fascinating and inspiring, sharing
you work and discussing the composition just reiterates the skill
required to be a great photographer. Lunch was fantastic and a
nice opportunity to chat to everyone else on the course, in the
afternoon your explanation of working with Photoshop was clear
and concise".
Rachel Warner

"I came on the beginners course in May 2008 having no real
knowledge of how to use my DSLR which I received as a
Christmas present. After attending the course I found that I
had a much better understanding of depth of field and aperture.
A lot more thought goes into my photographs now and I love
nothing better than just going off with my camera and seeing
what I can create. I had a fantastic day at Pin Mill and would
definitely recommend that anyone who has a digital camera
and is a bit nervous of it to attend one of your courses for
some expert tuition. In fact, one of my friends already has!".
Katie Millar

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you, and despite my initial
nervousness I had a fun and relaxed day.  Only yesterday I
was looking at the image I had framed from the day and thought
'wow...I took that!".
Gael Pryce

"Really enjoyed the day and am dropping hints to my husband
to see if another day can be my next birthday present!".
Julia McCully

"I just wanted to thank you for a fascinating course last Sunday.
It was so helpful to be able to speak to an expert and I'll be able
to put what I learned to good use. The personal touch is something
that no book can ever give and that is the true value of courses
such as yours". 
Rob Atherton

"Thank you for a most enjoyable day on Saturday. I thoroughly
enjoyed the day and thought it was very informative & really
interesting. I feel I have really benefited from the day and feel
more confident with the camera & its functions / programmes.
I also learnt a great deal on composition. I was very pleased
with my print. I also really enjoyed the meal at ‘The Butt & Oyster’.
I will contact you in the New Year with a view to booking the
intermediate day".
Simon Horswill

"We both had a wonderful day and learnt so much. In fact yesterday
we went up to Aldeburgh to see an exhibition about Orford Ness
(superb), then fish and chips (you cant be in Aldeburgh without them),
and then had a foto session on the beach. We have both uploaded the
results and cannot believe the improvement in our work. There is still a way to go but you have given us the confidence to play around with
our cameras. Now all we have to do is to be brave with Photoshop!!
Thanks so much for helping us".
