Hello Eugene, Thank you for your fabulous review. It always pleases me when, during the tour, I can see clients immediately grasp the benefits of shooting in manual mode. Subsequently, I've looked at your Instagram account and you have some great shots there. You mentioned that you are considering doing one of my other tours and it would be a pleasure to meet you again. Please keep in touch. James

Review of: Edinburgh Photography Tour
We booked the private tour with James and it was absolutely fantastic. James was so knowledgeable and informative about the parts of the city we visited. This made the tour really interesting and provided another dimension. He has an amazing ability to explain photography in a way that makes it really easy to understand and we came away feeling we had learnt so much and had a great day. Can't recommend highly enough.…

Review of: Edinburgh Photography Tour
James was an engaging guide for my son and I - mixing the history and politics of Edinburgh, photography tips and a fair bit of rock and roll! We both took away his simple approach to photography - more time on composition and a stripped-back approach to manual settings!

Thank you for your excellent review Simon. I am extremely happy that you and your son, Ivo, were able to take so much from the time we spent together. Coming out of lockdown, reviews are so very important for a small business like mine. I am truly grateful that you took the time to write this review. Thank you. James

Review of: Edinburgh Photography Tour
I took a private tour with James Christie (The Scottish Photography Experience) around Edinburgh to improve my photography and find out more about the city. I was not disappointed I finally stopped using auto on my camera and went on to fully manual with James' default settings as my starting point. I also learnt so much about the city. James is patient and his teaching is intuitive. I would highly recommend The Scottish Photography Experience and James Christie to anyone who wants to hone their photography and learn about Edinburgh on the way. I look forward to my next course with him.…

Review of: Edinburgh Photography Tour
My brother got me The Edinburgh photography tour as a gift for Christmas. I have had a camera for a year now and have been operating it via the various default settings. On arrival of meeting James, the first thing he insisted was we put our cameras on to manual and explained the various settings and how they would affect the outcome of our photographs. This was broken down to a level where someone holding a camera for the first time would understand. We visited various spots in Edinburgh, as we walked round, James would point out various buildings and facts and both my brother and I were astounded my James’ knowledge of Edinburgh. This was a personal touch of the tour/city I did not expect and it made our time with James absolutely fascinating. Ultimately I have come away from the tour with more knowledge, knowing what I now want to achieve when making a photograph, but more so than that, thanks to James’ love and passion for what he does, you cannot help but be inspired by this. My camera has never been off manual since! I would highly recommend this tour and I am forward to scheduling my next outing with James.…
