The testimonials from past 1-2-1 photography mentoring students
Some amazing images for my fashion portfolio.
The 3 days of my photography mentoring were crammed full of shooting, with a different model each day, and doing 4 different sets with each model. Not only is Bruce a talented photographer, he is also passionate and truly inspirational. Throughout each day, Bruce provides you with guidance, feedback and encouragement. As well as working alongside Bruce, I also got to work closely with the stylist, make up artist as well as shooting with the agency models. All of which have contributed to some amazing images for my portfolio, as well as increasing my knowledge and confidence.

In the hands of a master photographer
I have had the pleasure of being mentored by Bruce in several of his classes on fashion photography. One of his unsung talents in the world of fashion is how well he transfers his skills in the classroom. There seems to be no limit as to the amount of information he tries to instil in his students. You feel you are in the hands of a master who truly wants to see you succeed in your craft.

Bruce’s photography teaching methods are fantastic
I recently had a one 2 one mentored fashion course with Bruce Smith. It was mind blowing, i have never worked at a such pace with so much energy and enthusiasm. Bruce’s teaching methods are fantastic, he encourages you to push yourself further and further each time and when reviewing the work through the day he gives constructive criticism and praise. A true professional that looks at how he can guide and help you on your path to being a creative photographer i would recommend his courses to anyone. Thank you Bruce for giving me a new lease of life in how to take fashion photographs.
