Simply passionate about... helping you take great pictures!

Would you like to be able to take better photographs but don't want to learn lots of jargon? I run one day workshops for "beginners" - ideal if you want to get off the AUTO button on your digital compact or SLR camera and improve your photography. Courses usually involve both a "classroom" and a practical session.

Courses in partnership with Spice Manchester
This social, adventure and activity group organises hundreds of varied events every month. Their base in Stretford, Manchester offers a modern, comfortable and well equipped training room with the added bonus of a garden where you can put into practise what you've learnt in the class room session.

Courses in Partnership with Bluebell Cottage Gardens
These beautiful gardens are set in the heart of the gorgeous Cheshire countryside south of Warrington. In addition to the 1.5 acre gardens there's a wildflower meadow and 2 acre bluebell woods, offering lots of potential to take stunning photographs. The tearooms provide a great venue for the classroom sessions and as courses run on days when the gardens are closed to the public we have them to ourselves for the practical session.

Here are some comments from delegates who have attended my courses:

"Just a note to say what a great day I had today it was excellent. I thought the location (Willowpool), ‘classroom’ and meals were all superb and I thought the way you presented it was great - you kept my concentration all day. I was raring to go in the afternoon but that was because of the preparation you gave us in the morning. I feel that my camera is now my best friend and not something to fear and I look forward to creating some ‘works of art". Chris, Northwich, Cheshire.

"I found the course very rewarding indeed. I'm impressed with your manner & ability to simplify & explain all the jargon that till now I found daunting. Will highly recommend you." Paul, Crewe, Cheshire.

"An excellent course - I really enjoyed it very much and am sure it will prove valuable. I'm sure many people would find it worthwhile". David, Cuddington, Cheshire.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and am looking forward to the next one". Christine, Chester.

" Just wanted to let you know how great the course was and how my confidence has increased, to the point that I'm considering getting an SLR!" Gabrielle, Hartford, Cheshire.
