Experience:
"The entire course was very well structured, incredibly informative and - above all - fun. Highly recommended, and we doubt you’ll learn the skills that Simon has to teach anywhere else." Digital Photographer Magazine April 2009.




“Simon has been a positive influence in my photography career. Since the beginning, he has given me options and tools, without affecting my own personal style. In fact, he has encouraged that to grow naturally over time.

The difference with Simons tutoring style is, for example, that he will tell you “why to light something this way”, instead of just providing you with a lighting diagram that works in some situations but won’t in others. This deepens your understanding of the right way to work in all circumstances and provides you with the ability to adapt in tricky situations – which is of significant commercial value. He has taught me some very advanced topics effectively too, including deeper compositional techniques, colour theory and digital processing.

I would recommend allowing Simon to take a look at your portfolio to determine what tools you may be missing. You can then discuss the best way to plug the holes and break out of the limitations that your current knowledge will be holding you too.“

I had the pleasure and opportunity of working with Sy at his home in Gloucester for 2 days this week. He kindly put me up for 2 nights and was very hospitable! Sy is a very intelligent guy with a high level of knowledge in photography. He gives excellent direction along with making me feel extremely comfortable throughout the shoot and my stay. He knows exactly how to get an expression out of a model and I think he got something out of me which noone ever has. He is an inspiration to me, very honest, kind hearted, genuine, funny, entusiastic about photography, I could write a book on how much I like Sy!! So without a doubt, any model that Sy offers a shoot should take this opportunity and learn from him, as I came away with nothing but a smile on my face, a brain full of enthusiasm to do better, and some beautiful images! Thanks Sy for a very memorable stay. :) x

"Specialist Portraiture, Photographic Coach and teacher. Reasonable photographer.".... Simon is so much more than this, while he is an excellent teacher and brilliant photographer, his ability to capture the real person is amazing. I have had many photographers attempt to get a real smile from me but Simons outrageous jokes really set the mood and improved me no end, it was a very relaxed shoot and his shooting style would suit any model. A very happy Eva x

What a thought provoking and engaging day of training I have just had!
Si's teaching methods are excellent, encouraging me to reflect on the wisdom he was imparting and think about its uses. He paced the course perfectly and it was pitched just right for my level and requirements.
During my day with Simon I had at least two wonderful "light bulb moments". Those rare and exciting times when something just clicks and the penny finally drops.
I am looking at photo's in a different way now, and have finally started to understand the elements that help create a good image.
I have no question that the investment in this course was some of the best money I have spent in a long long time.

March 10 - I had the privilege of taking part in a 2-day course Simon was teaching this weekend and wonder if my recommendation can do him and his talent and insight justice... A very interesting and kind person you could listen to all day, he could probably take a technically flawless picture with a blindfold over his eyes! He owes his remarkable skills to years of keen learning and practice, an enriching professional background, a very sharp mind and genuine enthusiasm, creativity and vision. Needless to say I believe the photographers who attended Simon's course were very happy they had decided to do so - they'll probably sleep well tonight after all the eye-opening tips, principles, facts and demonstrations Simon shared with them, but also all seemed very happy with what they had learnt and eager to practice following Simon's advice and explanations. I have no doubt they were all given very valuable help and are now able to take their photographic efforts to a much higher level. I also do believe I wasn't the only one among us to spend a lovely weekend thanks to Simon's friendly and lively disposition.

April 10: Shooting with Simon was something I had been looking forward to and still enjoyed beyond my expectations. He and his kind lady were both sweet and hospitable towards me and were wonderful to spend time with. We went for a location shoot with another photographer and both Si and the latter made the shoot go very smoothly - both were great company, inventive, fun and considerate as well as dynamic and professional. I even got to watch Si demonstrate his Photoshop skills to me and am delighted both that he gave me a chance to go and shoot with him and about the edits he came up with! Thank you Si!!
