Photography Workshop Reviews and Testimonials

Testimonials

“Steve has an amazing knowledge of photography and a great teaching manner from basic understanding through to great capture tips.... I always learn more no matter how much I know ... 5☆ or more ...”

Steve Camplin

Personal Tuition Client

"Steve Franck is not just a very experienced and professional photographer, he is an excellent coach and guide who is very easy to get on with and super interesting to boot. I've just done a street photography workshop with Steve and it completely lived up to expectations. A very useful tutorial style start set the scene. It was seamlessly adjusted for knowledge levels and looked at some of the greats of street work... We then went on a loosely guided walk along the South Bank in London to take pictures and through discussion learn from reviewing them. All in all a good value, great day out for anyone at any level with an interest in learning more about photography and wanting to take away some ideas for their own Street work. Recommended."

“Steve is a great guide to some great spots in The City that I'd never have found on my own. He's also an excellent photographer who gently suggests how to use your eyes and camera in more interesting ways. Highly recommend a walk to explore London and think a bit more deeply about your street photography.”

“Steve took me on a long exposure course, and helped me find some great shots, though a combination of confident technical explanation and helpful hints. I learnt about the maths of long exposure and composition, along with the best places to go to in London for such shots. A great day, with lots of humour and laughter. And learning.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of taking 2 photography courses with Steve recently - a night photography course along the Southbank, and an intermediate classroom based course. Both were brilliant and Steve made the material so fun and engaging. I learned a huge amount in my time with Steve and came away with a renewed energy and inspiration for photography thanks to his passion for the subject. Thank you Steve!”

“When it comes to thoroughly understanding how to get the best results from your digital camera, I’ve found out there is only one step to take and that’s to take a class with Steve Franck… it will be the best amount of money you will ever spend to understand how to use a digital camera. Whatever you think you know, let Steve strip it back in his beginner’s class and you will have a lightbulb moment in truly understanding your camera, which in turn will allow you to take the photographs you’ve always wanted to take.”

Duncan James

Art Director

“I found Steve when I was desperate to learn how to manipulate light for food photography.
I’m so glad I took his 3 hour class, I learnt everything I know about light from Steve. I’m so proud to say I call him my mentor. He is patient, knowledgeable and a great teacher.
I have since become so much better at my photography, I’ve even got few paid projects as well!
I went on to win the best food photo at Photoion photography school. This would never have been possible if not for Steve.
I highly recommend Steve to anyone who wants to learn photography skills and take them to the next level.”

Nisha Weerasekera

Owner "Healthy Sutra"

“I’d highly recommend the one-to-one tuition that Steve offers.
The three hours gives you time to talk through the technical aspects and discuss some key ideas around composition before putting what you’ve learnt into practice and really making sure you’ve understood.
Steve is a good judge of when you’ve understood and when you’re not so sure - and is more than happy to recap any ideas or re-do any exercises. He’s approachable; he encourages you to ask questions; he clearly takes real enjoyment from teaching. Most importantly, his enthusiasm is contagious. You’ll be desperate to test out what you’ve learnt when you come away.
Suddenly I’m able to do so much more with this amazing piece of technology I’ve owned for so many years.
Cheers Steve! ”

“Before I first met Steve I was quite intimidated with the photography world and where to start, I had just bought my first professional camera, had watched a lot of online tutorials but was still feeling overwhelmed.
Within 3 hours during our first 1-2-1 lesson, I learned more than I had in the previous 6 months online and immediately felt far more confident, with a sense of direction. Steve’s way of teaching is relatable to the real world, easy to follow and a lot of fun!
I have since been back for the night photography class which is absolutely superb and so much fun, and this week I met up with Steve for a street photography walk-around in Borough Market which was fantastic and so informative. It was great for expanding my creativity and thinking around shot composition, as well as pushing me out of my comfort zone which increased my confidence exponentially.
I highly recommend Steve’s classes for all levels of experience, because no matter what level you are at, I guarantee you will leave Steve a better and more confident photographer.”

“I recently took an introduction to photography class with Steve Franck, I learned so much that day and feel that my photography has improved from what Steve patiently explained to us. I thought the class was great and that Steve is a very good natured effective communicator with an infectious enthusiasm for photography ”

Jeremy Cowan

Photography Workshop client

“I contacted Steve Franck for a lesson in flash photography, an area in which I felt I was in need of more knowledge. From the first prompt communication right through to meeting up and having the lesson I was impressed and assured by his professionalism. The tuition was clear and un-hurried, he was extremely generous with his time and really put me at ease. Although I have experience as a photographer he didn’t confuse me with jargon or assume that I should know things that I didn’t. I came away with more confidence and definitely a lot of information. I would thoroughly recommend him as a one-on-one instructor.”

Francesca Sullivan

Personal Tuition Client

“I had a great night photography workshop session. Learnt a lot, had real fun with the light effects that Steve had brought, particularly the fiery whisk, which created spectacular photographs. Steve made it so much fun, I would recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in perfecting their skill levels in night photography. FAB.”

Andrew Halas

Night Workshop Client

“ I’ve really enjoyed and highly appreciated Steve’s one to one course of basic photography, especially getting clear understanding of editing photographs using Capture One software. All the lessons have been arranged by Steve in a very compact and easy to understand way and he was really patient with me. Now I know where to call and whom to ask for assistance if I decide to explore the new fields of photography.”

“It is the 3rd photography workshop I have been on and was by far the best. Steve managed to make things so clear and I am thrilled to finally be able to use my camera properly. I’m looking forward to taking some fancy photos soon.”

Cordelia Lean

Personal Tuition Client

“I thoroughly enjoyed Steve’s course and I appreciated his relaxed style of training. He managed to compress a lot of technical information about the main features of professional cameras into a short amount of time, without making me feel overwhelmed. The session was well paced, with opportunities to stop and explore the main camera features. The segment on framing and composition was particularly interesting, with many useful tips and inspiring examples from Steve’s work. The course has certainly whetted my appetite for photography and I’m now looking forward to buying a new camera and practicing.”
