Our London Photography School Testimonials – Page 3
Thanks again for a truly great 2 days. I found the course very valuable and I am looking forward to putting into practice. It was a fun and interactive opportunity to learn and more important, understand the foundations of the digital photography; a very informative course. Ion is passionate and knowledgeable and has great analogies to really help with understanding this subject and good sense of humour. Highly recommended! Thanks. (further feedback after the course: Just to let you know that the course last weekend has REALLY helped me….I managed to take photos today for the school and I took them all in manual with the camera’s inbuilt flash and had NO pictures turn out blurry that shouldn’t have as I finally get the DOF function in relation to Aperture. I am very happy with the results as this time last week I had no idea where I was going wrong!! This week I tried many times to take a good photo of my 3 boys in the snow and after taking them & then downloading them to review I had time to figure out what went wrong & that really helped today as I reviewed what we had covered last weekend, a lot!!. So, all in all I am really, really pleased. Thanks so much again!! Highly recommended.
Thank you again for course, it has opened my eyes to so many things and I will be photographing my products next year so I will be sending you updates.
There were so many things to take in regarding the camera and I did not realise how complicated it would of been. However your teaching style made everything come together in the end and now I see “light” in a total different light and I am looking at things and I always think would make a good photograph! Also, I really enjoyed the second day when we did the practical bit which I found really helpful. The structure of the course was excellent, logical and easy to follow and I felt that it was worthwhile me coming to London to do the course, you are a very good teacher. I will definitely return soon for some extra lessons once I have been practicing for a bit. Highly recommended! Thanks again.
I attended a 1:1 tailored photography course with ion which was well placed, covered all important topics well without wasting time on topics I was already confident about. There was plenty of time for questions and all were well answered along the way. Ion’s expertise and passion for photography shined trough the course. Ion also provided all the materials / notes of the course on a CD which I found very helpful for a later reference. The location of the workshop is amazing too, walking distance to colourful local street locations and the South Bank of London. Ion, thanks very much for the 2 days instruction, you have inspired me to get out there and practice and learn with the ideas and techniques you have given me. Highly recommended!

A very good course! The 2 days were a great help. I have been taking snapshots for years but now I feel I can create a photograph! A small group which moved at different pace, each person was taught at his level and the course was properly adapted and tailored to individual’s needs. We were set different tasks so no one held back or lost. The management was fantastic. Well done Ion. Definitely recommended. Thanks
Ion enthusiasm and his intelligent teaching style enabled me to get a great starting in to the world of photography. Understanding light and different types of lighting made a dramatic difference. I now look forward to developing my skills further. Thanks Ion Highly recommended!
I just attended Ion’s beginner’s class and I can say that Ion is really passionate about the subject and it clearly shines trough every minute of the course. Ion doesn’t want to teach you, he makes sure you get the concept before moving on; definitely worth the time & effort and the money too; I also really appreciated that the trainer was able to provide me with a camera and other accessories to use and practice with during the course. I consider taking the intermediate class. Thank you Ion. Definitely recommended!
Very good balance between theoretical explanations interjected with impromptu demonstrations to respond to questions in a very interactive way; one of the unexpected benefits was learning about equipment + practice tips re: technique to improve flash photography; fabulous venue in a easy location good facilities both in studio and location. Ion’s style, his energy plus enthusiasm are perfect, Thank you. Highly recommended!

I believe that Ion’s passion is highly contagious and that’s for sure his strength. Thanks Ion. Highly recommended!
Ion, thank you for the 2 days you dedicated to teaching us photography basics. I knew some of the stuff you taught us, but I like photography so much that I wanted to make sure I knew all I had to know, and that I knew it right! Where I really made progress is in the relationship between the 3 settings by the use of Stops. I can’t believe I didn’t know that! Meaning that you were right, it’s not all in the books 😉 I feel much more confident to using the camera, even to do creative random shots, I start to see the possibilities a camera can offer, I start seeing through a camera lens, and that’s because of your ability to teach, but also to pass-on your passion, and it feels! Thank you so much again. Highly recommended!

I attended Ion’s beginner’s course which was very enjoyable. I am new in photography and bought the camera a couple of weeks before the course.
