Alan Ranger Photography Reviews 610

A very friendly evening, well presented and informative with powerpoint presentation but plenty of time to ask questions and explain any points of interest.

Very good introduction, will certainly be booking on courses in the future.

Very good course for a beginner. Good content delivered with passion and enthusiasm. Very engaging and inspiring. Would recommend it!!

I recently went on a workshop to Glencoe for 3 days. I had excellent tuition and advice on how to visualise and capture images. I've since had a 1-2-1 where we've been through half a dozen images from Glencoe. Where Alan has provided some best practices, tips and tricks on how to edit photos, to my style - not too over processed and natural looking.

I wholeheartedly recommend Alan Ranger Photography.

Very understanding to the different levels of everybodys knowledge. Alan made sure everyone had taken in all he had said before moving on to the next subject matter.

This workshop was everything I hoped it would be.. I’ve been taking photos for over 2 years now and have struggled off Auto mode. I wanted a lesson on the other settings the camera offers in order to progress and completely forget Auto all together! Alan was very precise, fun and made sure we understood one component before moving on to another! I have used my camera off Auto many many times and have at times felt like I’ll never master this!! However, this workshop helped me understand what I am doing wrong... seriously thinking of following it up with another of Alan’s workshops 😊

I would highly recommend Alan's beginner course to anyone looking to improve not only their technical understanding and use of a camera but also their eye, aims and creation of an image. I came away feeling inspired, having grown my confidence in my camera considerably and excited to continue practising, improving and hopefully attending some of Alan's other courses in the future.

I recently attended one of Alan's workshops at Batsford Arboretum. The information that Alan provided in advance was very comprehensive, and included not just equipment required but also advice on clothing and food and drink. Not surprisingly, the theme of the workshop was 'Autumn leaves', and Alan started by stressing the importance of composition:no matter how expensive your kit or how technically skilled you are, these are of little value if what's in the frame is not interesting. After giving us some advice and a short demonstration he sent us off for half an hour to select our subject matter. He then provided each of us with hands on guidance on how to take the best shots from both an artistic and technical point of view. For example, he showed me some tricks available in my camera that I didn't know existed, and I'd never realized just how beautiful an oak leaf can be. In a few hours I learned a lot about photography in general and my camera's features in particular. For me, a very successful and inspiring day.

Fireworks photography. Guidance and instructions at the start of the workshop, then Alan helped everyone as the fireworks started. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening, great value.

Alan’s teaching was thorough and clear, he used great analogies to explain the more complex technical parts. He gave loads of tips on composition and helped me set my camera up just how I want it. His critique of my photos felt a bit brutal at times, but was all true and he has given me a lot of pointers on how to improve.

Learnt enough that I would feel confident photographing fireworks by myself. Got some great shots. Good value

Alan’s teaching style is very hands on. Some basic guidance and instruction at the start of the workshop and then he is working around the participants with advice on any specific problems or questions they have, which makes it very good for a mixed ability group.

Good honest feedback on your pictures, sound advice on how to improve the composition. Alan has an easy personality and nothing is to much trouble, if you are struggling with settings he will spend as much time as it takes so you are comfortable.

I have completed a few beginners photography courses and everyone of them has left me confused about photography and really put me off. This is the first course I have attended where I have left with pictures I am proud of. Great learning experience, great setting and relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Alan Ranger Photography to anyone wanting to learn more.

Very small group, enjoyable and very informative. I would recommend this course to my friends. Hope I get another opportunity to win him again.
My wife, being very amatuer in photography, enjoyed the course and she has learnt quite a lot.
Thank you Alan.

Enjoyable and helpful. Alan is generous with his knowledge & although I was part of a (small) group made time for individual time and tuition. My second course and again I left with more knowledge than when I arrived. I hope to join another class next year. Thanks Alan!

Very helpful. Spent lots of time with us. Good pace.

Very useful day that helped me to consider composition, light and colour with more care. Alan is a very knowledgeable instructor who encouraged us to make the most of a lovely autumn day in beautiful Batsford arboretum

Alan is a great teacher. Always available to give feedback and recommendations but also lets you get on with your own thing. I strongly recommend his workshops whatever level you are at

I recently did the 1/2 day Autumn Workshop at Batsford Arboretum. I really enjoyed the experience and feel I really came away having learnt a lot. Alan was very approachable and was very keen to help and instruct without being overbearing. I hope to be able to partake in more of Alan's Workshops//courses in the future as I have a lot to learn but feel under Alan's instruction I will gain a lot more knowledge.
