“Brilliant Workshop!
From the moment I arrived, Ian was warm, friendly, and very welcoming. As much as I love getting hands-on experience, what stood out even more was the depth of his knowledge and guidance.
You can immediately tell he has plenty of real-world experience — he provided not only technical feedback but also valuable insights into what’s truly important when establishing a studio.
He covered the behind-the-scenes aspects, including how to prepare for a studio shoot — from the actual setup to the pre-shoot research — as well as how to work effectively with key stakeholders like hair and makeup artists and models, and how to direct the scene as the photographer.
He also gave excellent advice on interacting with models. His approach was incredibly respectful and professional, which I really appreciated.
On the technical side, Ian’s teaching was brilliant. A studio is such a unique environment, and he shared practical advice on how to use that controlled setting to our advantage as photographers.
There’s so much more variety and creative opportunity in a studio than I had ever considered before today.
I’m so grateful for his patience and the supportive atmosphere he created. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to get the most out of their studio photography experience — it will make a real difference!”
