"Hi Phil

I have already put some of the training into practice last night at an appointment with a bride and groom, I had unfortunately already agreed to see them at their house. They had a very excited and noisy 5 year old boy, a TV to compete against and a tired 'husband to be' who seemed convinced that they were going to go with a male photographer they had met with earlier.

I think before your course I would have given up on the whole thing and felt daunted by the fact everything was against me, after 10 minutes battling with the noise I asked them to turn the TV off and showed the small boy a website that kept him busy for a little bit (there computer was already on) I used a bit more eye contact, my smiles and enthusiasm over my work to win them over and I can happily say I went away feeling like I had won them over a little.  They still had another photographer to see and were happily telling me all about them and their style but instead of me trying to compete with the other photographer I just highlighted my skills and said it was also about who they were comfortable with.

I had just got home when I received a phone call to say they wanted to book me straight away and was cancelling the other photographers appointment.  I've got to say this was one of my most challenging appointments I've had and your course couldn't have come at a more appropriate time.

"You have no idea how much difference your courses have made to both my photography and my confidence"


Mark Fraser, June 2009

"Phil's enthusiasm for photography is infectious. I wanted to get out there and practice what I'd learned and my photos vastly improved havingbeen on his course. He packed in lots of great tips and techniques and there was plenty of hands-on. He also made sure he helped us individually which was important as we all had different cameras."

"Phil has an informal and relaxed studio located in a lovely spot near Gaddesden Row. He runs courses throughout the year at varying levels for just a small number of people so every one has enough time to ask questions and learn as much as possible from the day.  The workshop fee included a lovely lunch at the local giving a chance to refuel and have a chat with our fellow photographers before having a couple more hours of tuition.  It was a great day and I learnt lots on top of my existing knowledge and limited abilities. Phil has a lovely personality and makes you feel very welcome - Thank you for an enjoyable and informative day..  An ideal gift to buy someone too!"

"Having been on a MelenCourses photography course earlier in the year I was so much more comfortable with using, and understanding my camera. So when I went to South Dakota to work on a cattle ranch for a while, I was able to manage the horse, the cows and the camera to take a shot."

"I got a chance to use what you taught me the other day I was in a Museum in Berlin and we weren’t allowed flash photography so I had to use a higher ISO and got some really great pictures"
