Paul David Smith Photography Arvostelua 

Such a great experience! My colleague and I went to help aid our photography within our marketing department, and we were both so impressed by the course. Such a dynamic and engaging way to learn; by the end of the two days, we both felt confident and genuinely excited about our photography. From the camera settings and manual mode to editing and composition, this course really covers it all. Would highly recommend.

My colleague and I attended a two-day photography course with Paul on the South Bank, which we thoroughly enjoyed and which equipped us with a comprehensive toolkit for taking decent photos for work. Paul is a great teacher, he kept the momentum going throughout, frequently testing us to check that we'd taken everything on board. He explained everything in terms we understood and didn't overcomplicate the science for us. I particularly enjoyed taking photos of the river in challenging light and the nearby Leake Street Arches. I've been using my newfound skills and feel far more confident now that I have a clearer idea of how to balance a photo using the Exposure Triangle. Thanks, Paul!

My wife and I recently completed a day's photography course with Paul. We had a superb day and walked away with much more knowledge and more importantly the ability to put that knowledge into practice. We started from very different points but Paul's way of coaching enabled us both to get much from the day. He doesn't try to bamboozle you with jargon, it's simple to understand the points he is making and this makes for a very worthwhile experience. This course has certainly given us confidence to push our photography to a higher level and we can't wait to put our new found skills to the test on our upcoming safari.

Thank you Paul for such an engaging day.

I had a day with Paul working on my underwater photography. He was brilliant! I am so grateful for his detailed help and tuition. He quickly ascertained what I wanted to achieve and his detailed advice and direction on photography techniques, advice on equipment and photo editing was excellent: thank you Paul! He really helped me and I am very grateful. I would highly recommend him.

We took Pauls videography course in Birmingham back in March and it was excellent from start to finish. His style of teaching is a mix of talking through the theory and then getting out onto the streets to put the theory into practice. Me and my colleague throughly enjoyed and took away so much from this course and have been putting what we learnt into practice as much as possible.

Highly recommend this course with Paul,
He has a great way of teaching which has allowed me to use more of cameras capabilities.
Will definitely be looking to book in for another course with him in the future.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Paul’s course! As a complete beginner, I was feeling unsure of where to start, but Paul made everything so accessible and enjoyable. His teaching style is incredibly clear, patient, and engaging, and he really took the time to explain the technical aspects in a way that was easy to understand.

What really stood out to me was how Paul not only taught the mechanics of using the camera but also inspired me with his passion for filmmaking. By the end of the course, I felt confident and excited to start creating my own videos! I can't wait to keep practicing and experimenting with everything I've learned. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and supportive instructor who can make learning fun, Paul is absolutely the one to go to! Highly recommend!

Paul really listened to what our learning goals were. He took it from basics to more advanced at right pace. Good advice re getting the right kit at a budget we could afford. Very hands on course which suited me. Bit more time doing the video editing maybe but we covered a lot of other ground. Covered everything I wanted in a 1 day course. Excellent teaching skills. Thanks.

Spent a couple of days with Paul on a 1: 1 videography course. Quite simply - it was superb. The pace, the detail, the ground we covered was all brilliant. Paul's ability to suss out his client almost instantly and then pitch the course to their needs was very impressive. I came away not only technically more aware, but also inspired to go and try out my new found techniques and skills. Cannot recommend Paul highly enough.

I did a studio lighting course with Paul. I went knowing very little about the subject, I left much the wiser and full of confidence. I learnt way more than I thought I would in a one day course. I will be returning to do another course in the near future. Delighted with the knowledge I learnt and the course I undertook.

My colleauge and I felt we had invauable training delivered by Paul! We were blown away with how much we learnt via the theory and practical sections!

Thank you Paul! We both feel so much more confident picking up the camera.

Myself and my daughter booked a photo training day with Paul. Paul identified what we required to enhance our photography and he knew exactly what we required. His explanations of the processes was easy to follow and understand. Our photos now look sharp and more professional.
I would highly recommend Paul to anyone who requires any support in their photography skills.

I had a morning lesson with Paul and would recommend him to anyone! He simplified things in such a way it was so easy to understand and took away any confusion. I feel upskilled, more confident and very positive after the session and wish I’d found out about him sooner! If you’re considering a session, don’t hesitate. Book now. You’ll be glad you did.

Myself and my wife went on Paul's Filmmaking day in Newquay, unfortunately the weather wasn't the best but that didn't stop Paul providing and extremely interesting and wonderful day about using your dslr to produce video. His knowledge in the subject was outstanding and taught it in a way to make it interesting and fun to do. We covered all basic subjects about using your dslr from setting it up to using and editing your results as well. I would highly recommend Paul he's a great guy and very knowledgeable.

An amazing day of drone flying instruction – highly recommended. 5 stars!
As complete novices, Paul introduced us to the world of drone flying for photography and video. He was prompt, engaging and so friendly. He tailored the entire day to our needs and we spent the maximum amount of time flying the drone.
After a quick briefing (health & safety, legal and designing our experience around our needs) we were flying a drone! Such an exciting experience and Paul was quick to hand over the controls. We were very nervous but Paul was reassuring and helpful in instructing us in its care and control.
We visited several locations to fly the drone (which was also a great opportunity to see the local area) and quickly learnt drone photography and videography methods and techniques. By the end, we had learnt so much and felt confident in using a drone.
Many thanks, Paul for a wonderful day – so hands on and engaging for the both of us. The time simply evaporated and we learnt so much, including gaining confidence to fly our own drone.

I have just completed a morning course with Paul & it was outstanding. He teaches in a really professional & enthusiastic manner, He simplifies the process & has has given me a method/benchmark to work from. Thank you

I enjoyed my hour session on Teams. As a novice, I was worried I was too basic for his guidance but not at all. He was very patient and explained what was good and what could be improved on a selection of photos. Then explained how to get more out my camera to improve my photography. I learned so much in a short time and look forward to using what I learned. I wouldn't hesitate to go back for more tuition in the future.

Embarking on a one-to-one beginner photography course with Paul David Smith Photography was a revelation. Under Paul's guidance, I delved into the intricacies of photography with newfound clarity. For the first time, the technical aspects of capturing a moment clicked for me. Paul's expertise was nothing short of brilliant; his ability to communicate and share knowledge was practical and tailored to ensure my complete understanding. I left the session feeling not just informed but genuinely inspired. I highly recommend this course to anyone eager to embark on their photographic journey.

Paul's Beginners Photography course, does exactly what is says it will. Paul is engaging and informative, and clearly passionate about photography.
If you are a novice photographer, book this course - you will not be disappointed. It's worth every penny.

I cannot recommend Paul’s photography course enough. We had a fantastic time learning how to confidently use our cameras and by the end of the day I felt much more competent and reassured as a beginner photographer.

Paul was great company and a professional teacher who explained theory in an accessible way and then helped us put our learning into practice on the wonderful beaches of Newquay. I started off the course being almost afraid to use my camera for fear of getting it wrong, (always defaulting to my mobile phone for photos instead). However, I ended the course excited about what my camera is capable of now that I have the newly acquired knowledge from Paul to use it.

It was a really enjoyable day and well worth doing.
