Outstanding session which has transformed my confidence and competence. 10/10. Highly recommended.

I attended a Glencoe workshop in November 2024. The preparation, organisation, accommodation, locations, and photography advice were all top class. Sarah and Tim were excellent guides and tutors. They also created a great atmosphere within the group which only added to the overall enjoyment of the workshop. I fully expect to attend further workshop(s). Highly recommended.

I was a little anxious that as I was basically a beginner (12 months) I would be out of my depth and possibly over looked as the tutors interacted with the more experienced photographers and those who had attended similar workshops in the past. In practice I had nothing to worry about as both the tutors and the more experienced photographers were more than happy and capable of meeting me at my level of photography and at no stage did I feel I was being over looked or ignored.
I have learnt so much and although I have a long way to go I am now more confident in taking my camera out and about to different locations and experimenting.
I can’t thank Sarah, Tim and Mark enough for creating an environment that allowed me to make mistakes and learn from them. I was also impressed with their ability to be agile and change the plans based on the weather conditions, which were not great for the 3 days.
I would strongly recommend the workshop and Image Seen to any photographer who is learning and wants to refine their landscape photography.

I recently attended the waterfall workshop in the Vale of Neath and found the day a great experience where Sarah and Tim provided enough time with each individual person and understood what they were trying to achieve with their compositions. They also encouraged all of us to experiment with settings on the camera and provided us with tips on composition. I certainly will use the experience gained in my future photography. I will be attending more Image Seen workshops in the future.

The waterfalls workshop was excellent. Sarah knew the locations and conditions well and I was particularly struck by the way Sarah and Tim were not taking their own photos but focused on helping the group members. They never prescribed compositions or camera settings but made suggestions, encouraging individual experimentation. They created a friendly, good-humoured and professional atmosphere, with a clear concern for safety in what could be challenging locations.

I had an absolutely delightful day exploring and photographing the Cotswolds with Sarah and Image Seen. Sarah did a great job mixing in some classic locations with some hidden gems. Sarah is incredibly personable and has a wonderful teaching method. I’m a pretty experienced photographer, but Sarah taught me a number of new tricks and really got me to spend more time focusing on my compositions. Cannot recommend Sarah more highly!

A great experience on my first photography workshop with Sarah. Good pace no pressure and such a friendly group. Even though the weather wasn’t the best we all managed to produce a terrific set of images. Sarah is so helpful and very knowledgeable.

The Exmoor workshop was well organised and Sarah made every effort to spend time with each individual participant. I have deducted one star, mainly for the accommodation and some other small matters.

I really enjoyed my one to one. Sarah is a great teacher and very friendly and down to earth. I am a beginner but now feel more encouraged to start using my camera and get practicing.
Thank you Sarah ☺️

I recently took part in a photo workshop with Image Seen in South Wales photographing some waterfalls. The workshop was very well organised and enjoyable. Sarah was very helpful with suggestions to improve photography skills and had clearly researched the locations well. I will definitely take part in future Image Seen workshops.

Having recently taken up photography I had never been on an overseas photography workshop holiday so wasn’t sure what to expect.
It was incredible. Sarah is an excellent encouraging tutor with endless patience and good sense of humour.
Tuscany was stunning and we were taken to great spots off the beaten track driven by Mark who was always looking for the best angles and places to set up.
Lovely friendly small group.
I’ve already booked my next trip.

Skye photography workshop far exceeded expectations. Learned a lot, very good group, excellently prepared and conducted. Sarah has a very good manner about her as she goes from participant to participant discussing, suggesting, going through histograms, highlights, showing, etc.

Attended the Venice workshop in January 2024. Amazing trip to a wonderful location. Sarah Howard from Image Seen is so well organised, and really maximises what you get out of the workshop. Came away with some wonderful images. Highly recommend this trip for anyone thinking about it and a wonderful way to see Venice!

Three days of photography tuition in Northumberland with Sarah Howard have been full of fun and packed with progress. I’ve come home with some images to be proud of, and much more confidence in my own skills.

I did the Slovenian workshop with Sarah in October. Sarah is a fantastic tutor, excellent itinerary and the overall workshop exceeded my expectations.

I have returned from this workshop with more confidence on my abilities to use the camera and the best portfolio of photographs.

Thank you Sarah and Mark for giving me the opportunity to join the workshop and I look forward to many more in the future.

Very enjoyable and instructive workshop in the Neath Valley shooting waterfalls, despite the weather. Plenty of help and tuition, yet plenty of time to experiment. Relaxed and friendly, and not too technical. Would thoroughly recommend. Huge thanks to Sarah and Paul.

Excellent Cotswolds workshop with Sarah, the third one I’ve done. As ever, Sarah took the time to understand what I and the other participants wanted from the day and tuned her approach to suit. Great fun, very useful and I learned a lot.

Malcolm Lea

Sarah is an engaging and talented photographer. Her Exmoor workshop was meticulously planned to encompass as many different locations as possible – whilst still giving time to enjoy and learn. A definite recommendation.

I’ve been fortunate to have been on numerous training events at ImageSeen, with either Andy or Sarah, from one-day to long weekend and one-to-one training workshops. Each event I’ve attended has been a pleasure, providing the right level of engagement and light-hearted fun, helping stoke your enthusiasm and creativity further.

ImageSeen’s approach is to share their knowledge by doing, not copying, and combined with their patience, and it helps you learn and take home new skills and appreciation for the art of photography. Workshops with other like-minded friendly photographers are also helpful in that you often end up sharing ideas and thoughts.

I’m hoping to attend more workshops with ImageSeen, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to any interested photographer.

Updated to say I’ve been on yet more photographic days and workshops, and they’ve all been great, fun learning experiences.

What a great experience I had on a recent workshop with Sarah in the South-West. Good planning for locations and great support in developing my skills in landscape photography. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to raise the bar in terms of their photographic skills and undertsanding of camera settings and filters.

Slovenia is a stunningly beautiful country and Sarah ensured that we saw plenty of it during our trip. She was constantly juggling our schedule to fit with the very changeable weather and, as a result, we came away with some great images and memories. As always, Sarah was so helpful with guidance and advice and helped me through several wobbly moments! Thanks so much for your patience, Sarah.

A really great workshop personally I learnt a lot. We worked hard from dawn to dusk. Taking in a great deal of the area in sometimes
unfavourable conditions. Well planed and executed.
Thank you Sarah & Mark

I attended a one day course with Sarah at Image Seen. It was a wonderful experience, from the professionalism before the course to the advice and guidance on the day. Highly recommend a course with Image Seen. Sarah is very supportive and is an excellent communicator explaining the key photography concepts very well.

Many thanks, Sarah, for an excellent three days in North Yorkshire, based at Whitby. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop that you organised so well, together with Martin and Mark. Knowing all the best locations in the area she was able to give advice on the various composition possibilities and camera settings so that we were able to roam around and be creative. Questions were always answered in her friendly and knowledgeable style, all the time keeping an eye on our progress. She kept us informed of any weather-related changes to the plan and when to meet for the all-important picnic lunches provided. The critique sessions were very helpful, not just to have feedback on my efforts, but also to see what the others in the group had achieved. I would certainly recommend Sarah’s Image Seen courses and I’d love to go on another one. Thanks again Sarah.

I attended Sarah’s Dorset workshop in March, this year. The information pack prior to the workshop was excellent and extremely helpful to get the most out of the event. Sarah knows here locations very well and picks accordingly on each day depending on the weather at the time. Sarah creates a very welcoming and supportitive environment for the attendees. Great for those wanting to learn and improve their landscape photography.
Since my original review I have now attended the Exmoor and Slovenia workshops. Both of these were excellent, well run and a super experience. Each of the trips have had a great group of people of different backgrounds and capabilities which added to the overall experience

I’ve just returned from a fairly intensive, very enjoyable 4/5 day workshop with Sarah in Venice. Sarah’s ability to seek out superb locations means that we had some wonderful photo opportunities from abstract, reflective photos in Burano to singing gondoliers. I’m delighted with the results as well as having achieved an improvement in my understanding and ability in different techniques. I very happy to recommend Sarah and her team at Imageseen to all photographers of whatever level of expertise.

A huge thank you to Sarah for guiding us through the Exmoor workshop at the weekend. As usual Sarah planned the whole thing immaculately -timings, venues, refreshments etc – but this time with the added challenge of one of the hottest weekends on record. The contrasts made some of the shots quite tough, and the colours will look different as there’s not much green around at the moment! To pick out one of many highlights, Porlock Weir at sunrise was … just, wow! The whole experience was so valuable. Thanks also to Mark for driving us around the moors in air-conditioned bliss! Whether you already think of yourself as an expert, or someone like me who knows he has so much still to learn, you will just love Sarah’s calm, friendly, professional advice.I

Excellent tuition tailored to your own needs in well planned locations. All you need to do is turn up with your equipment and you are bound to finish with invaluable experience, having learnt something new, and a sense of achievement.

Had a terrific day in Waterfall Land with Sarah. Some excellent tuition accompanied by some excellent company and advice on composition. I believe everyone had a terrific day. I would definitely recommend this day.

Brian Garman

Excellent day in the Cotswold with Sarah for my 121 workshop. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. She explained to me everything I needed to know in a very friendly way. I will definitely go on a another workshop of hers

Recently went with Sarah on her Glencoe Workshop, second workshop I have done with her. Sarah had really done her research on the area and she took us to some wonderful locations in the area and at the right times to get the best shots. Some of these locations were literally a few meters walk from the road but that short distance made all the difference and opened up some great vistas of Rannoch Moor and Glencoe. Sarah makes sure all the participants get the right amount of support depending on their level of expertise and she is always there when you have a question. Oh and she provides some great lunches during the day. A truly great photography experience and something I will remember for a long time. Thanks for a fantastic workshop Sarah.

Another superb workshop, this time in the Lake District. Highly recommended for a variety of beautiful locations, presenting interesting challenges in early November light and weather conditions (the weather was good). Sarah’s encouragement and enthusiasm was, as ever, outstanding, adding to the enjoyment of a fun workshop with a great mix of clients.
