Photoion Photography School

Attended the Speedlite workshop taught by Holly Falconer. This more than met by expectations. Holly has a very easy going teaching manner, definitely came away from this day feeling very confident about my Speedlite ability.

Fantastic course! I have attended a 2 day course for beginners late spring and I found this course so informative and easy to understand. Ross, the tutor made the class fun and interesting also easy to understand. 100% recommended!

Last week I've attended the portrait photography workshop at Photoion. Ion is a dedicated photographer and teacher, full of energy and passion for photography. The workshop made me see things that I couldn't see before, or I wouldn't pay attention to, the way he runs his courses is without doubt unique. You won't leave the academy without some amazing advice, tips and distinctive group photo. I'll definitely come back soon for more. :)

Im so happy with my choice of school and highly recommend it to everyone! The school itself is really nice and cozy with amazing pictures everywhere and a secret pet which you will have to find Ion is a great teacher - I really like his approach to make difficult things simple! After the beginners course Im 100% sure what to do with my camera and how use its settings. Ion also showed us how we can create some magic with the camera and light! So cool. I have bought the long course at this school, I have a couple more steps of my education so I will update this review in due course. Between my courses I upload the pictures I make to the school Facebook group where Ian provides feedback every day - this is super useful!

I was thoroughly impressed with this course. I have been practicing and experimenting photography for a while, but I have found that despite my creativity - my technical ability needed some work. Originally I signed up for the advanced lighting course as I wanted to fully understand technically what kind of equipment created certain styles of lighting. Afterwards I signed up for the Advanced Photography Course, to get a fully rounded understanding of how to take my photography to the next level. The shots that we generated over the advanced lighting course were so professional I use them now in my portfolio. We covered a lot of ground and explored a variety of creative lighting scenarios - and commercial setups. The model that Ion had found was very professional as well, and it was incredibly useful to get some extra advice on how to collaborate effectively with subjects. Likewise in the Advanced Photography Course we covered an amazing amount of ground, and I really felt that coming out of both the workshops that I had so many of my questions answered. I noticed over the next couple of shoots that my technical ability and understanding had improved exponentially. All in all, I found Ion to be an incredibly personable and enthusiastic teacher, and I was impressed with the passion that he taught us with. I would thoroughly recommend The Photoion Photography School to anyone who is looking to really understand photography, or in the same position that I was in. The workshops themselves are fun, and the School itself is in a nice, convenient area in London. All I can say is - Thank you Ion!
