Sessions are delivered on a one to one basis and will be tailored to meet your experience and knowledge. Each session will focus on areas that you, as the 'student', wish to concentrate on.

Diane is a mature model with many years experience. Personal feedback from shoots has been highly positive.....so I am sure that you'll find her very helpful and photogenic. She also has unlimited patience......so you can take your time whilst learning.

Recent comments from some of our satisfied 'students' include:

"Thank you so much for this afternoon. It was a really enlightening experience! Mike  has the right knack of intervening only when necessary and for putting points across really well. For me it was about gaining as much knowledge as possible in the short period of time we had.

You (Diane) were great. I know I have some very good images. I've only had time to work on a couple of them, and I know they will be very good final images.

Thank you also for being so helpful and for putting lots of effort into ensuring the best possible relationship with the camera.

Please pass on my thanks to Mike for his patient understanding.
Thanks very much again, and hope to see you again, soon."

"I  enjoyed everything in the day and had some useful ideas from it. 
 
It's great to work with a model who is easy to get on with, helps with ideas , has loads of experience and is attractive, and that's what you get with Diane.  I would have no hesitation in recommending her."

David Houghton - Photographer

 

"Many thanks for today, really enjoyed it - 

Lunch was great (and I'll have to find out the tea recipe) - the lights and set up instruction was sound, Diane fantastic and patient and I got some good tips for photoshop.  The concept of cradle to grave or 'All you need to know about Glamour modelling, but were afraid to ask' is great.  You have a great model who is prepared to produce great results without any effort from the photographer - and then you take those results and improve them with PS.  A winning combo."

Chris Meade - Photographer

 

This is a great opportunity to get to grips with both studio work and editing.

To book a session contact me with your details and we'll be happy to arrange a date.


We look forward to hearing from you.

"Mike has a very natural easy style of teaching that strikes the right balance between imparting knowledge and allowing the photographer to try the theory out. And the huge bonus for those who attend is the opportunity to shoot his lovely wife 'Diane', she is not only wonderfully photogenic, she really is a great encouragement when one is not used to working and directing models; Diane gave me tips all the way through the shoot; from how to direct, down to small but important details on body shape and accessories. Between them they make an excellent team and I shall be going back to learn even more very soon."
