Hi Neill, Being a pupil of yours from Night Photography at Pakuranga College last term, you may like to know that this student had a photo published on the back page, Section 1 of the Herald yesterday. Not strictly a “night photography” photo unless you consider crawling out of bed in the dark before sunrise as “night”. Sue Wallace

Neill definitely knows his stuff! He totally understood my brief and exceeded my expectations delivering beautiful photography of my restored vintage furniture. I not only wanted my first collection of pieces to look their absolute best but was after a distinct mood to the imagery to use for generic purposes for my website.
Neill not only has great technical skills but also an eye for detail and an intuitive creativity. And, he is a nice guy to boot.

As a Real Estate Vendors Agent, excellent photos are essential when I bring a property to the market.  We all make a decision about a person within 4 seconds of meeting them, when it comes to the sale of a property, your photos are those 4 seconds.  With Neill’s excellent photos and my marketing strategy my first weekend of Open Homes are always buzzing.  But Neill is not only great at photos, he is also personable, open to suggestion and keen to keep up with technology – we make a great team.  Thanks Neill.

Hello there Neil I would like to thank you kindly for dropping off the photos at the office from Wahine Moe. I think you got some great angles of the boat and two shots are my favourite. One of the wharf pilings and one of the full length interior of the boat. Nice work! I appreciate your time and effort as I know it wasn't the easiest shoot with questionable weather and a crowded boat. Job very well done! Cheers Erin, Raglan Boat Charters

Neill's images greatly assist with the marketing of real estate properties. The photo's taken are extremely professional as Neill uses up to date modern equipment. Neill knows how to photograph properties to present them at their best.

Dear Neill
Just a line to say how much I enjoyed the course - it was very informative and good fun too.  Just what I needed - now to put it all to practice!
Having it on a Saturday was great as well, with so many of us working these days finding time to do these courses is not easy.

Hi Neill, “I found the workshop was fantastic, very informative and well structured. Neill is a very patient tutor, with loads of knowledge regarding Photoshop, the group also gleaned off each other as we went through the exercises.
It was a great workshop all round and enjoyed it immensely, looking forward to getting my pictures on the wall”.

I attended the beginner's Digital Camera evening course, and found Neill to be very knowledgeable and able to connect with the students, who were at many levels from complete novices to somewhat experienced.  It was particularly interesting, because student questions and comments during the course put us onto a number of interesting side topics that made the course even more relevant.  Because of Neill's excellent instruction, I have decided to take more of his courses in the future.
Cheers Carl

 Hi Neill, Just thought I would drop you a line to thank you for your photoshop course that I attended. For someone like me, who is “computerly challenged”, the pace and explanations of what, why, and how was just right. In a smaller group like that, it was almost like having one on one tuition. Not having to take notes as well as digesting new information made the tasks (practice ) much easier. Whenever I ask anyone else about computers and/or photoshop they seem to charge over basic things assuming everyone is as literate as they are. For someone like myself, who hasn’t grown up on computers, even the most basic of operations is a bit of a challenge.
The flashcard of examples that I now have in my own computer is a great reference point so that when I get stuck I just open the notes and follow the examples, then apply that to my own images. I am starting to get quicker at doing the basic things to an image and hopefully soon I can salvage some images I thought were beyond saving.
 If anyone wants to talk to me about your courses, I would be very happy to speak to them.
Once again Neill, a big thank you from me. Kind regards Andrew
