Mike Lester Photography

A fabulous afternoon working with Mike exploring studio lighting, covering a wide range of set ups. Lots of opportunities to try things out and learn in a practical way working with a fabulous and very patient model. Can't wait to try out some new ideas now!

1:1 bridge camera familiarisation session with Mike. Mike provided me with a bespoke 1:1 session at his Sherburn studios in which we covered so much, and learned so much. The session was extremely well prepared and well structured, and Mike took time to explain key concepts, and how I can achieve some really good effects and images on my new bridge camera. His experience is massive, and he is a super tutor in a subject he is clearly passionate about. After the course he emailed me a set of the powerpoint slides which had formed the basis of my session. This means I can go back and refer to them as I start to take images with my new camera. This session was a great investment and worth every penny. The booking and payment process was easy and smooth, and directions to the studio were clear and detailed. All in all a wonderful experience which fires me up and motivates me to start using my new camera. I cannot recommend Mike highly enough. Thanks very much Mike. Look forward to working with you again in the spring next year. All the best for now, Hilary

Mike Lester Photography studio is great! All the facilities are there (car park, kitchen with supplies to make hot drinks, toilets, a private area for changing that includes a dressing table and mirrors). The studio is clean and tidy with plenty of clothes and props. The backdrops, lighting equipment, and the space available is brilliant! We had everything we needed to have a fun and successful photoshoot. Mike was lovely in attending to myself and the photographer to make sure we were happy and had what we required. Im very happy and I cant wait to see the photos!

Hired the studio for some large products shots with Mike on hand to help with the light setup. Mike was very friendly and super helpful and the studio space was perfect for our needs. We will be back again soon and I would definitely recommend!

Great training session with Mike on using Photoshop. Covered all the things I wanted. Also gave me some great tips and pointed out a number of features I didn't know about. At the end of the session I was able to do some editing in 15 mins that, when I had previously done at home, had taken me nearly an hour. Highly recommended if you want personalised training that covers what you need to know, rather than what someone wants to tell you.
