Being a new concept, here are a few comments from prior 'on location' students.
“Thank you for the course and inspiring me to take better photographs.I find your work really inspirational.” Adam Broadway, Cambridge UK.
“Hi Roland, Thank you again for an amazing day. I had a really great time learning about the creative aspects of photography. Roland kept the excitement and energy at a high the entire day, his knowledge on photography is incredible and he sees the world in a different way. His course makes you more excited to go out there and explore photography further. I hope one day I can take photos as amazing as his.” Hinal Patel, Hertfordshire UK.
“Thank you for a fantastic day! I had an incredible photography experience exploring beautiful Hampstead with Roland! He was not only a lovely and patient teacher, but also packed so much valuable knowledge into our time together. We covered everything from textures, contrast, repetition, and perspective to understanding lighting, each concept explained clearly and applied practically as we walked through scenic spots. It was a hands-on and bespoke session. Roland made complex ideas feel approachable, and I was amazed by how much I learned in such a short time. We wrapped up with a ‘Lightroom’ session where he showed me how to enhance my photos. I came away with new skills, a better eye for photography, and some amazing shots I’m proud of. Thank you so much, Roland, for your patience and expertise! I’d highly recommend Roland to anyone looking to improve their photography in a fun, inspiring, and supportive environment.” Rebecca Morley, Hampstead, London UK.
“The time we had with Roland was educational and informative. He instantly recognised that we were beginners and adjusted to us and our needs. Not only is Roland a great captivating teacher, with loads of experience and knowledge, he is very personable and a pleasure to be with. We’re very much looking forward to booking again to learn some more from him!“ Carly Burrows, Hampstead, London UK.
“I recently attended a photography course in Hampstead, London, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Rol, our instructor, was amazing, his passion for photography and teaching really shone through. He has a unique ability to explain complex concepts in a simple, engaging way, making it easy for both beginners and more experienced photographers to learn and grow. The location in Hampstead was perfect for exploring and practicing various photography techniques, from capturing natural landscapes to urban scenes. Rol was patient, approachable, and always ready to provide personalised feedback and guidance. I left the course feeling inspired, confident, and equipped with new skills to take my photography to the next level. If you’re looking for a photography course with an exceptional instructor, I highly recommend Rol. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure you have a rewarding and enjoyable learning experience.” Giovanni Leonardi, Hampstead London UK.
“If you only use a smartphone, Roland will inspire you to take great images that I guarantee will make you want a “proper” camera. Superb teaching technique and well worth your time. If you already use a ‘proper’ camera, then spending time with him will teach you not only how to get the best from it, but show you how to see life through a lens with a different perspective” Jon Wicks, Suffolk UK.
“Today I spent a wonderful, informative and fascinating day with Roland at Walberswick learning to really see what is around me and how to take good photos. I’d highly recommend spending a day with Roland and soaking up the knowledge he shares with passion and enthusiasm.” David Rich, Suffolk UK.
“I attended a day course with Roland after I had been given a Canon EOS 80D for my birthday. Having had no photography training, I was completely outside of my comfort zone when I attended the course. However, any nerves I had were very quickly laid to rest when Roland welcomed me on the day. It became clear very quickly that Roland’s teaching experience, photography knowledge and artistic eye were a perfect combination to gain a good foundation of skills to put into practise. I had a great, relaxed and interesting day in a beautiful setting with a brilliant group of people. I have a new found love and appreciation for photography and I will definitely be back when I am ready to learn more!” Carly Barker, Stowmarket, Suffolk UK.
“It was a fantastic day for sure. Lots learned, good fun and much inspiration taken. Thanks to Roland, he’s a great photographer and a super guy.” Jonathan Dayman, Colchester, Essex UK.
“Thank you so much for today’s Birds/Nature webinar which was truly inspiring. I felt privileged to be your sole participant after your Cousin Judy left the Zoom meeting, but, surprisingly not at all intimidated by being in the company of such a talented photographer. I loved your direct approach because your criticism was constructive and balanced by enthusiastic support of my photographic attempts with my Samsung Galaxy S7. Your love of photography is infectious and your ability to de-mystify and simplify complicated concepts deserves a greater following. I thank you for inviting me back to next week’s Webinar which I accept and will sign up tomorrow. I’ll also canvass a couple of friends with proper cameras!” Di Brooks, Venice, Italy.
“Thank you for the email and the pictures, a great reminder of what for me was a fantastic day. I feel that you helped me learn a great deal, not only about how to use my camera but more importantly how to ‘see’ pictures. Obviously for me I am only at the start of this journey but feel that Saturday has really given me some insight in what to look for and how to look for it. I will certainly be using the list from the morning to help me in moving forward. Having looked at some of my pictures I have been pleasantly surprised by some of them and feel that after tweaking them in ‘Lightroom’ I am really happy with them.” David Ford, Saxmundham, UK.
