Lorrelie Bow – feature writer/contributor – Better Photography magazine “The great thing about a Glen Campbell session is the gen”erosity in which he shares his thought processes. He discusses his enjoyment of shapes and light , the character of the landscape and how he captures that in the camera in a way that helps you see everything as if for the first time.”

October Highlander participant – Cornwall

Glen is an outstanding photographer but also a true Scottish Gentleman – flexible in his approach to teaching photography and sensitive to the needs of the group both for great locations pleaces to eat and our desire to learn about Scottish culture – would recommend”

Ehab Khojah, Jeddah – Saudi Arabia, Isle of Skye, Harris Workshop 2011

“I used to join photography forum’s on the internet and always wrote Wooow on their amazing posted photos, but now, after the workshop I am the one who is posting the photos and the others say Woooow on them, I really improved a lot after Glen’s workshop. Thanks Glen”.

Highlander Tour 2011  Susan Grzybowski, Florida – USA

“This is the best workshop I have ever attended. The individual attention, expert advice, lightstalking and relaxed atmosphere is a perfect combination. Glen is a wonder”.

“I walk away with confidence in my photography, an improved skill in using manual, an appreciation for photos expressing a simple and minimal view and some great shots” October

Chris Risley, New York – USA August Highlander tour 2011”

I learned that not every photo experience will be s o easy and pop like a fashion shoot – we had to work and search for good light and I appreciated that. The Small group was excellent condusive to cohesion and learning”. 

Curtis, Warsaw - Poland

“Glen is a world-class photographer and a down-to-earth guy. His workshops are well organized yet flexible, and his passion for photography and the landscapes of Scotland comes through in his enthusiastic approach to teaching. I left Scotland confident that I had become a better photographer while feeling like I had just spent a few days catching up with an old friend.”

Siva, London – UK

“Second visit so I guess you now how highly I rate these workshops and tours. Lost {some of } my gear and I am sure someone else would have just said “tough luck”, but I am very greatful that you did not. Traipsing around the hill in the pitch black for 2 hours showed great commitment to looking after your customers, thanks mate”  ..Yes we found it!

Jenni & Geoff Holden, St Johns, Canada

“wish Scotland was closer to home, would love to do another tour.. ”

David Folkes, UK”

Glen is very enthusiastic and hands on, offering endless help and advice without being too serious. Nothing has from my experience been too much trouble. I loved the touch of  a bottle of red wine in the car boot at the end of  along day out on location,… would recommend ”

Patricia Tischler – Sau Paulo, Brazil“I Loved it, loved the scenery, loved the workshop and all the tips and loved hanging out with you Glen…”

Alison Campbell – London, UK

“Great Tutor – made sure things were well explained at my level too, being less experienced than the other guests. Great locations, great stories…..will definitely recommend”

“being relatively new to photography this trip was an enormous help, Glen is very knowledgable and patient and the trip was tailored to help me increase my abilties. I would come back for more trips and workshops in a heartbeat. “Robert Norman – Pheonix, Arizona

Andy Eacott – Brisbane , Australia August Highland Highlights tour – 2010 “Personalised service delivered with humour and consideration. Knowledge of the whole subject and passion for it were obvious. Adaptations to changing conditions were made in consultation. A most excellent tour. 

“The week started as a group leader and clients. It finished as a group of friends” Philip Rigby – Oxfordshire, Highlights Tour 2010,

“Glen’s knowledge is beyond doubt and he conveys that in a very relaxed and understandable manner. Teaches by example and has a great sense of humour. Great course ,well taught by a very nice guy” Bill Buchan, Fraserburgh

“Informal and enthusiastic, just what I needed on my first photo tuition experience” George Bigby, Cumbria

“Once I took the leap and actually booked the workshop, I was quiet apprehensive about my ability within a group that was going to have various skill levels. Although I have owned my camera for almost a year I still used it in auto. My worries were totally un-founded, although others were much more advanced I was not made to feel inadequate. Glen’s friendly and relaxed way of teaching made the experience fun and easily understood. From the onset our cameras were set on Manual and within the first couple of hours I was shooting photos that I have been proud to show friends and family.  By the end of day one I had began thinking in a totally different way about photography, it was no longer just snapping scenes but a way of producing images that portrayed a feeling, my photography took on a WOW factor.

The whole experience with stunning locations, good accommodation and good company is one I fully intend repeating in the very near future.” Janet Turnbull, Drumnadrochit

“Apart from the excellent photo tuition this was an experience of a lifetime..“ Mike Olney – Bedforshire

“the enthusiasm that Glen has for photography and the great outdoors is infectious and inspiring” Andrew Aitken  – Glasgow

Brilliant locations, excellent tuition..” Nick Lawrence – Inverness

“In an era of sophisticated digital equipment and editing software, it is easy to be fooled into believing that you no longer have to nail the art of photography. Can’t everything be photoshopped into perfection? With an 8GB card can’t I just snap away and rely on the law of numbers to guarantee outstanding images?
Glen powerfully demonstrated that even the most advanced equipment is just a tool that will only work with sound knowledge off the basic principles of photography. In a practical step – by – step session he helped me to understand where I was at, where I wanted to be and begin thinking like a photographer – not an opportunistic snapper. By reducing the art of photography to its essence, and explaining in simple English how my digital camera could best be taken advantage of, found myself looking through the lens with a new found inspiration and the confidence to nail the images I dream of capturing. “ Tim Cope – National Geographic Adventure Honoree 2007,  Australian Adventurer of the year 2006

 

“I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to getting to grips with my camera. But spending time with Glen wasn’t just about the camera, it was about understanding light and being able to see something more in a scene! I am now looking at views in a totally different way and looking at the light. I feel so much more confident that I know what I’m doing and without a doubt so much more inspired – thank you!” Hazel Middleton, Tain, Scotland

“Glen, since spending the day with you last Saturday my photography knowledge and skills have easily quadrupled. Your passion and skill as a talented photographer shone through in every aspect of the day. As well as this your ability to teach and share your craft was exceptional. Thank you for all the written notes as well which make a great reference guide.
I am now so much more confident in relation to composition, shooting workflow, exposure and aperture. After months of reading manuals and books I now finally feel like I know my camera like the back of my hand. I would highly recommend your tutoring to anyone that is passionate about their photography” Craig George, Melbourne

“Glen has started something within me very exciting and very daunting at the same time. It’s fantastically exciting to discover a completely different world from just being a ‘snapper’ and looking around you and actually thinking, and more importantly, feeling what surrounds you and how it moves you. I now can’t go for a walk the same way. I seem to always look at the light, the shadows, what’s happening with the sun and try and predict what will happen. Then there are the leading lines, diagonals, framing and a whole bunch of other things constantly whizzing through my head … and I love it! So thank you Glen for a very inspiring time and your great advice.” Taio Tyson, UK

“What a great teacher! after spending 2 days with Glen one on one, I found everything began to “click”. I had heard the theory before, but has an amazing teaching style that makes it easy to understand and put into practice. Two days of theory combined with no-stop shooting consolidated it all. I could see an immense improvement in my photos immediately. His constructive critiquing also encourages you to examine your own work in a new way, enabling you to get the most from your experience with him and continue to learn from work afterwards.” Lyn Russell, Queensland

“Glen’s photography expeditions have been exhilerating, instructive and enjoyable. Glen has a gentle manner that allows him to clearly explain all aspects of photography, in a practical easy to understand way.
He is encouraging to developing photographers, giving advice and ideas on images, yet respecting the creative process and individual styles of photography. His knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and post processing is extensive, and his personal images and corporate work is inspiring, as he captures the essence of the story or place, communicating with effective compelling compositions.
Above all, Glen is great company for fellow photographers. He balances a dry wit, individual instruction and enthusiasm for photography. My time on shoots with Glen are no doubt some of my favourite photography experiences.” Lisa Owens, Australia

“Just wanted to email you to say thanks a lot for the time you spent with my husband Anthony. He had a fantastic time and definitely learnt a lot!!! He has been out photographing every weekend since meeting you – trying to perfect what he has learnt. Thanks also for all the lens advice and the info on web sites in the US.“ Yvonne and Anthony Manache, Victoria
