"Recently I had the chance to train with Russ in his studio in London. He is not only a master behind the camera and a very talented photographer but also a truly inspirational and professional teacher. I took the advantage of all his time, experience and knowledge. He explained the techniques, lighting, poses, wrapping, plus a lot of tips and advice so clearly, and knowledgeably that I can get my own business to a higher level, I feel very confident, inspired and motivated. He is brilliant! Thank you Russ!"
"My brief for my 1:1 mentoring with Russ was for more advanced Fashion style, maternity portraiture with the added difficultly of working in a tiny converted garage studio. Russ nailed it and really listened to every aspect of my brief, and really tailored the training to my needs. Russ has a really easy style of training and answers any questions you need to know. The day was fun, and I learnt a lot even though I have been working for 10 years in this industry. The editing techniques have been a game-changer for me. Thank you, Russ."

"After watching some of Russ' online courses (I highly recommend the Maternity course!) I decided to go all in and booked a two day Mentoring with him. I travelled all the way from Switzerland to meet Russ at his Studio in London. This was the best decision I've ever made! He helped me so much in understanding my value, he gave me honest feedback on my images, and we had two Newborn Models and one Maternity Model to shoot. I learned so much in these two days! Russ, thank you so much, you gave me the confidence I needed!"
