    I found both instructors to be full of useful information and when giving their opinions on certain things they also gave their reasons for their advice, In my experience if people then back up their advice with reasons, it shows that their knowledge base if very solid. This course only makes me crave for more information on photography.

    I love it when you have an “ah ha” moment, and during the course of the day I had a few where the pennies just dropped – thanks to some great tutelage from a couple of clearly talented photographers. I’ve participated in a few of these workshops now and they’re never disappointing, I look forward to the next one.

    Great teachers who really took the time to work with everyone according to their skills and their individual learning wishes – it’s so rare to get this much access to loads of unpretentious, quality advice. The locations were inspiring, the instruction and exercises were very useful and the other students a lot of fun to be around. In the words of Arnie … “I’ll be back” 🙂

    My second SPW workshop did not disappoint. The team has put a lot of thought into the variety of locations and activities, and provides as much advice as you can handle. Full marks!

    What a great day. I learned quite a few things before lunch time so I knew I’d picked the right course. Both photographers where extremely knowledgeable and helpful and certainly know their stuff. The whole day was all very well organised. I now need to get out and practice the tools I learned. This is my second course with SPW, looking forward to the next one!

    I went on the Travel Photography Workshop, both Ben and Daniel were clear in their explanations and proactive at giving tips where they saw fit. They quickly picked up on differing capability levels and split the group to give more personalised tuition when necessary. Every location was full of interesting people and perspectives, even shooting at my local beach!
    I definitely learnt a lot even as a semi professional and had lots of fun.
    Wendy looked after us all superbly, making sure we were all well fed and watered, and being more than accomodating to my very specific dietary requirements.
    Huge thank you all, definite recommendations and will surely return

    PS why didn’t I know about you sooner?
