John Mottershaw Photography Reviews 

I bought a camera some time ago for a trip that got cancelled. It sat in a box until I saw that John was doing photography tuition. The session of 3 hours was individually tailored to my needs as I had no idea how to use the camera! We spent some time getting to grips with the various settings and an explanation of the basics of aperture and shutter speed. John is a friendly, clear and patient tutor ( he had to explain some things more than once!) and gave me the confidence to play around with the settings. I wanted to take close up pictures of flowers and in the final session we went outside to put the theory into practice.
His advice to really take your time to observe; to find the ‘story’ in a shot is what will stay with me as I look through the viewfinder. Highly recommended.

I first met John at a friends’ wedding. I was really impressed at his skill & professionalism but mainly by his amazing people skills. After a good conversation about photography I decided to book a course with him.
I was not disappointed. In the morning we covered a lot of technical stuff about the use of a camera and how to control the light.
In the afternoon we went out to Longshaw with our cameras and had a brilliant couple of hours taking pictures. I learned so much! More importantly, my enthusiasm’s been fired and I am getting enormous pleasure from this fascinating hobby

I Was over the Moon To Go on a Photography Course with John Would Recommend John to anyone, he was absolutely brilliant at Teaching me to get better with my camera and walked me through all the settings on it he was very patient and understanding with me, I really enjoyed the part we stopped and snapped a few shots of the ducklings on the water and I will forever be grateful towards John for the best photography experience anyone could ask for ,my photos are much more clearer and better quality ever since going on this photography course john is very down to earth, and very understanding. Best photography day In the world 🙂

John helped me with my engagement photography. He was very kind and professional. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who's looking for an experienced and skillful photographer. He helped me get some great pictures despite the weather being challenging. Couldn't really ask for anything more! Perfect experience :)
