After doing a 10 week course with Seamus, I learnt so much more about my camera and built my confidence. Following on from that i have done some of his workshops which really are first class. You get to take a variety of pictures and he is on hand if you are struggling to capture something, offering you great knowledge and advice. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more or just meet up with fellow budding photographers.

I have been on two of Seamus photography courses and several of his workshops , and i can honestly say that he makes learning fun and very enjoyable. His workshops are always great fun and incredibly rewarding. His manner is always charming and perfect as a tutor. His knowledge is second to none together with his photographic experience. I wish i had the pleasure of meeting him years ago !

Highly Recommended. I have attended 3 of Seamus' courses. He is a very good teacher makes learning enjoyable and fun. Although we were all of different abilities he made us all feel at ease. Great teacher with a lot of experience and ability to pass that on, at whatever level or how you learn. I will be attending more courses. I highly recommend his photography courses.
