    Excellent - Steve guided me through how to see a potential photograph, not just take a pretty picture, but still gave time to everyone on the session. Definitely going to book him for private sessions - well worth it.

    Really enjoyed strolling around with tips from Steve about where and how to look at scenes that would makes sense in monochrome. Very pleased with some of my results and it has made me think about how sometimes colour can confuse an image but black & white can clarify. Thanks Steve.

    Steve was very knowledgeable and I learnt so much in a short period of time. He was really relaxed and checked in with the group at the start to see what we would like to get out of the session, and ensured we were happy with our shots. I?d definitely look to do future sessions with him.

    Daneway Banks NR was awash with common blues when a small copper appeared. I followed it hoping for a shot when it flew past these mating Brown Argus. Brown Argus are even smaller than the blues and are easily overlooked. So finding a mating pair was a real treat.

    I had been travelling along this coastal area of Wales in my campervan. It was a late October afternoon, a blustery, sunny day , the kind of day that creates those amazing cloud formations.. I waited a short while until I thought the people were in the right position and shot around six frames, this being one of them.
