Client feedback

Just copied and pasted thankyou emails from my clients.

John, thanks so much for Thursday, it was exceptionally useful. Will now practice, and get to grips with elements too. May book another session in a couple of months.
Have a good weekend, and if you need any testimonials/references don’t hesitate to ask.
Regards, Richard (R Williams Chiswick)


John, Shirley and Matt have asked me to say thanks for a great day today. Inspirational and very useful. I have been looking at the photos and there are some real gems in there. Great and thanks again, Chris Royle (Kew)

Dear John, I had a thoroughly nice day yesterday and thanks for making it such fun and being such a good teacher. I have already recommended you to an American friend call Laura who will almost certainly contact you after Easter. Susan Laws (Kensington W8)

John, Thank you very much for your e-mail. We had a fantastic time on Saturday and it was an ideal way to further our interest - we're both now hooked and can't wait to get out and about with a camera! It was Sabrina's parents 25th Wedding Anniversary on Sunday so we framed a few of the prints for them and they were thrilled to bits. We were amazed that, with you help and guidance, we were able to get such great results. Patrick Duhig (Islington)

Anyway thanks again. Best wishes Bidita Bowmack (London N7)

Hope to see you again sometime for a top-up session,
Best regards,

'John is an excellent teacher. He's especially good at tailoring the course to exactly what you need and then clearly and patiently explaining the theory and how it applies to using the camera. He makes it good fun as well and manages to demystify the jargon and make you feel that you can master the technology. If you're a technophobe like me that's quite an achievement. Highly recommended.' Sally George, (Walker George Films, Hammersmith)

Friday was excellent John thank-you, we spent all of yesterday taking pics! Gemma Calam (Brentford)

Hi John,
I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday and am definitely going to invest in a Nikon D40 - probably before my Loire Valley tour in June. So you might see me back again for further tuition sooner than you think!
With many thanks and best wishes,

Hi John
Many thanks for helping me to fathom Photoshop Elements. I enjoyed myself and hopefully I have learned enough and can keep it in my head so I can improve a bit more on what you taught me. Again, Thanks for your help and keep in touch. Gail (Gail Dowle - Brandon Sufflok)

"Many thanks for the really excellent session yesterday. I found the one on one training to be an excellent way to improve my understanding of how to predict a good photo rather than just shoot and hope for the best! I have taken away lots of good ideas and tips to try out, and when that's done I'll be in touch. Thanks again" Richard George (Ealing)

Thank you for Saturday - we certainly had a great time and I think learnt a huge amount. We found that Fredrik did have the full version of the Adobe program so we were able to replicate the edits we did with you to send our Mother who contributed to the gift card :) - David Scholtz (Chiswick)

Thank you for being so helpful (and patient) yesterday.
We arrived knowing very little and left with an armful of knowledge!
The course structure is brilliant and well explained.
Thank you again! -Shabana & Sima Dad (N. Harrow)

Hi John,
I want to thank you so much for the photography course and all the advise, tips & techniques you taught. In addition the extra advise on the make & model of the SLR camera, lens and printers etc, I should purchase was really helpful for novice to get started…. The whole course was exactly as I hoped and more.
Thanks again, Regards,
Avtar Sagoo (Wexham Berks.)


Many thanks for yesterday, we both really really enjoyed it and we're incredibly smug showing off our efforts to everybody! I was amazed that Dan could concentrate for such a long time without whingeing to go and play on his Xbox or go to sleep-- " Jackie Cowhig, Twickenham


"A big thank you for today. I learnt a lot and had a great time. I hope to be a tenth as good as you one day"....... Kan Thakkar. (Ealing)

"Thanks for coming over today, I found it really useful. What was pefect is the way in which you can tailor the course specially to the individual's requirements. I hope that doing these courses really takes off"...... Kate Jefferson. (Tooting)

"Thanks for a great afternoon, very informative and great images to show for it" Daryl Mushtaq (Ruislip)

Hi John, thanks for the tuition yesterday, I 've just started GCSE photography and I really like the subject but there are a lot of things I don't know about how to take a photograph and how to actually use my camera with photoshop. After your class yesterday I learned about the relationship between shutter speed and aperture, how to properly choose and examine your selected background to your photograph. I also learnt about lighting on the subject, how to take an effective close-up, and I learnt many different tools on photoshop on how to greatly modify and improve your uploaded photographs, and what modifications will best suit your photograph.
I am going to use all the things I have learned from your tuition for my school project this holiday of 60 pictures from in and around my home.
Many thanks again you are an excellent teacher and you definately know exactly what you are talking about.
Daniel Cowhig, 14, GCSE student (Twickenham)

Hi John

Thanks for all the further details and the tuition last week. Looking forward to getting it (faulty camera) back and putting what you taught me into practise
