client testimonials
Here are some real-life quotes from clients that have hired me to deliver phone photography and videography workshops;
“As a team, we increasingly find ourselves using our mobile phones to take picture and video content, both for our clients and for our own social and digital needs. Keen to understand how we can make the most of these opportunities when they arise, we booked a team training day with Nigel Goldsmith. Right from the outset, Nigel’s knowledge and enthusiasm were clear to see, while his ability to break down the science behind taking great pictures into an easily understandable format. The combination of real-life examples and fun group tasks kept everyone engaged, while his relevance to subjects aligned with the industry in which we work was really beneficial. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel to others looking for photography training.” Andrew Taylor, Founder & Director at Eat PR & Marketing

We had the pleasure of welcoming Nigel to our HQ for a full day of Mobile Phone Photography Training. With a small group of six from our Social Media and Digital team, the session was the perfect mix of learning, practical advice, and fun. Nigel brought a wealth of expertise and a relaxed teaching style that made everyone feel at ease. Each of us came away with new skills and tips that we could immediately apply to our work. It was especially helpful to layer his expert advice on top of our existing knowledge, giving us new ways to streamline the process and remove some of the faff when creating content. The session was practical and hands-on, and Nigel covered everything from improving composition and lighting to quick editing tips that save time without compromising quality. Thank you, Nigel, for a fantastic and productive day. Thanks, Lee Geere, RockChoir
Nigel put together an excellent three hour online presentation on the use of smartphone cameras. The content was well thought out, timed to perfection, presented seamlessly and so in demand that we ran a further 5 sessions for groups of 12 participants. He adapted it to suit all camera models and covered most of their technical capabilities aswell as looking at the editing software. His knowledge and presentation skills were appreciated by beginners as well as the more experienced photographers in our group. He mainly covered stills photography so we are inviting him back to cover video making aswell as more in-depth software applications. Gillian Tiplady, Royal Automobile Club.
Through a range of theory and practical sessions, Nigel taught me all the tips and tricks to shooting my own videos. Specially catered to my ability level, he customised his workshops to suit my needs. Nigel is a great tutor and has enabled me to advance my skills tenfold in just two and a half days. I would definitely recommend to any budding film makers. He’s equipped me with the competence and the confidence to go out and shoot. Thanks for everything! Kelly, Kinneir Dufort
