I recently had a one-on-one session to learn Capture One, and it exceeded all my expectations. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and tailored the lesson perfectly to my skill level. He walked me through everything from setting up a workflow to advanced colour grading techniques, always taking the time to answer questions and ensure I understood each step.

What really stood out was his ability to simplify complex tools and explain not just the “how” but the “why” behind each adjustment. I left the session feeling much more confident in using Capture One.

I can’t recommend this kind of personalised individual class highly enough!☆☆☆☆☆

My whole street photography career with international recognition, publications and awards started with this amazing photographer and person! Steve is not only an excellent street photo teacher, he's also a superb food, product and business photographer. You're looking for headshots with dramatic Rembrandt lightning or natural looking portraits with ambient light - Steve is your man. Thank you, Steve, for your ongoing support and your friendship! I can't recommend Steve highly enough for whatever photography related purpose you might have in mind!☆☆☆☆☆

“Great day shooting in London with Steve. He adapted to the conditions extremely well and was very helpful and happy to share his knowledge of photography and locations. He was also good fun to be with. I would highly recommend one of his sessions.” ☆☆☆☆☆

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the amazing food photography tutorial at my home. Steve’s guidance was so clear, practical, and inspiring, you explained things in such a simple, approachable way and I felt comfortable. It was a real pleasure learning from you. You’ve definitely sparked a new level of excitement for food photography in me, and I’m looking forward to practicing everything we covered. Thanks again Steve for your time, patience, and encouragement!☆☆☆☆☆

“I am a relative beginner, and my son purchased a Street Photography Walk, around the City of London for me. I immediately liked Steve upon meeting him outside the Royal Exchange, and in the first few minutes, learned more about my new camera (<1 year) than in the previous year. We walked around the City - much of it familiar to me as a result of a 40 year career there - but saw new things I had never noticed before! I had never been brave enough to attempt street photography before but thanks to Steve, I quickly "dialled in" to what to look for, and was soon shooting pictures that I would never have "seen" before, and now have a set of pictures that I am rather proud of. I cannot thank Steve enough for his friendly, helpful and engaging manner, and how quickly I learned to see opportunities through his guidance. I had a brilliant day!” ☆☆☆☆☆

“I recently did a street photography course with Steve and had a really good, enjoyable day and came away with lots to think about and practice. A couple of hours tutorial about street photography and how to use my camera (which I hadn’t done for years) was a great start. Then we went to take some pics along Brick Lane before heading back and taking a look at and discussing them. A good day out, learning at the right pace, a great and relaxed teacher who had time for all three of us on the course, made to feel very welcome and took away a some more knowledge, some things to think about and research further and some things to practice.” ☆☆☆☆☆

"Steve Franck is not just a very experienced and professional photographer, he is an excellent coach and guide who is very easy to get on with and super interesting to boot. I've just done a street photography workshop with Steve and it completely lived up to expectations. A very useful tutorial style start set the scene. It was seamlessly adjusted for knowledge levels and looked at some of the greats of street work... We then went on a loosely guided walk along the South Bank in London to take pictures and through discussion learn from reviewing them. All in all a good value, great day out for anyone at any level with an interest in learning more about photography and wanting to take away some ideas for their own Street work. Recommended." ☆☆☆☆☆

“Steve is a great guide to some great spots in The City that I'd never have found on my own. He's also an excellent photographer who gently suggests how to use your eyes and camera in more interesting ways. Highly recommend a walk to explore London and think a bit more deeply about your street photography.” ☆☆☆☆☆

“Steve took me on a long exposure course, and helped me find some great shots, though a combination of confident technical explanation and helpful hints. I learnt about the maths of long exposure and composition, along with the best places to go to in London for such shots. A great day, with lots of humour and laughter. And learning.” ☆☆☆☆☆

“I’ve had the pleasure of taking 2 photography courses with Steve recently - a night photography course along the Southbank, and an intermediate classroom based course. Both were brilliant and Steve made the material so fun and engaging. I learned a huge amount in my time with Steve and came away with a renewed energy and inspiration for photography thanks to his passion for the subject. Thank you Steve!” ☆☆☆☆☆

“When it comes to thoroughly understanding how to get the best results from your digital camera, I’ve found out there is only one step to take and that’s to take a class with Steve Franck… it will be the best amount of money you will ever spend to understand how to use a digital camera. Whatever you think you know, let Steve strip it back in his beginner’s class and you will have a lightbulb moment in truly understanding your camera, which in turn will allow you to take the photographs you’ve always wanted to take.” ☆☆☆☆☆

“I found Steve when I was desperate to learn how to manipulate light for food photography.
I’m so glad I took his 3 hour class, I learnt everything I know about light from Steve. I’m so proud to say I call him my mentor. He is patient, knowledgeable and a great teacher.
I have since become so much better at my photography, I’ve even got few paid projects as well!
I went on to win the best food photo at Photoion photography school. This would never have been possible if not for Steve.
I highly recommend Steve to anyone who wants to learn photography skills and take them to the next level.”

“I’d highly recommend the one-to-one tuition that Steve offers.
The three hours gives you time to talk through the technical aspects and discuss some key ideas around composition before putting what you’ve learnt into practice and really making sure you’ve understood.
Steve is a good judge of when you’ve understood and when you’re not so sure - and is more than happy to recap any ideas or re-do any exercises. He’s approachable; he encourages you to ask questions; he clearly takes real enjoyment from teaching. Most importantly, his enthusiasm is contagious. You’ll be desperate to test out what you’ve learnt when you come away.
Suddenly I’m able to do so much more with this amazing piece of technology I’ve owned for so many years.
☆☆☆☆☆
Cheers Steve! ”

“Before I first met Steve I was quite intimidated with the photography world and where to start, I had just bought my first professional camera, had watched a lot of online tutorials but was still feeling overwhelmed.
Within 3 hours during our first 1-2-1 lesson, I learned more than I had in the previous 6 months online and immediately felt far more confident, with a sense of direction. Steve’s way of teaching is relatable to the real world, easy to follow and a lot of fun!
I have since been back for the night photography class which is absolutely superb and so much fun, and this week I met up with Steve for a street photography walk-around in Borough Market which was fantastic and so informative. It was great for expanding my creativity and thinking around shot composition, as well as pushing me out of my comfort zone which increased my confidence exponentially.
I highly recommend Steve’s classes for all levels of experience, because no matter what level you are at, I guarantee you will leave Steve a better and more confident photographer.”
