Reviews

Hi Kelvin just want to say that the introduction to the wedding photography course over the last 2 days has been excellent. I have gained so much more knowledge from Phil Nunez and yourself it is a must for all budding photographers either if its for thier pleasure or if they want to do it as a profession.

Many thanks and I will be looking for more courses in the very near future.

Lynn Speight - Two Day Wedding Course Seaham Hall 26th-27th May 2011


I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to say thank you so much for the workshop today. I really enjoyed the day and felt that you pitched the workshop exactly right for us.
It was a great atmosphere and I felt that we all learned so much. I was driving home looking at the beautiful views and dying to stop the car and try my new skills out.
I got home and read through your newsletter and tried a few shots - and felt that I did really understand the things that you taught us.
I'm really looking forward to the next workshop at Beamish.
Linda McGregor

A really enjoyable day out of which I obtained a lot of knowledge; it has certainly increased my confidence. I immediately went out Monday and put theory into practise with satisfying results. Yes I will be booking SLR2 next year and look forward to meeting up.
John Hindmarch

Kelvin in a very talented photographer and everything you could hope for in a tutor, knowledgeable, informative, patient and eager for you to get all you can with no question left unturned.
Joanna Wake

Can I just say how much I enjoyed the course last Sunday at Beamish and that I learnt an awful lot about my camera, looking back at my photos I am very pleased with the results and how I achieved them Thank you very much for a good day.
Val Atkinson

Hi Kelvin,

First just wanted to thank you again for the SLR2 workshop yesterday. As I said on the day I've been self taught since December so it was good to finally not only get some constructive tuition but also meet with people at a similar level to myself. I was unsure if the workshop would be too advanced for me as I said, but found your method and enthusiasm (and patience!) meant that I fit right in and was quickly up to speed with everyone else. I'll certainly be booking further workshops later in the year.
