"I was incredibly fortunate to receive an online tuition on "composition" and "light" from Richard Piper. His approach, using illustrative images underpinned by decades of experience in photography inspired and motivated me. My one regret was that I had not sought such guidance in the past, before taking hundreds of pictures which could have been so much better! I would highly recommend the tuition to anyone seeking an impartial, individually targeted critique on their photographic journey."

Richard Piper Photography responded:

"Hi Cathy. Thank you for yet another brilliant review. I feel privileged to be part of your journey and have every confidence you will soon find increasing success with your images, so do continue to query, explore and enjoy the many fascinating facets of photography."

"I attended an online one-one photography tuition with Richard Piper in March 2023. As a beginner myself, I found his approach extremely instructive and motivating. I was met at my own level and given critique using a small sample of images of my own. He then used images from his collection to illustrate the importance of both the tangible “tools” and intangible “talents” essential to developing good technique and creativity, tailored to my areas of interest. He has remarkable teaching skills which became apparent as I reflected on the breadth of knowledge he had shared during that tuition, laying a solid foundation for me to pursue. I wish to express my gratitude as well as highly recommend his expertise, at whatever level one may be. "

Richard Piper Photography responded:

"Thank you so much Cathy. I appreciate you taking the time to give me such a lovely review. It was a real pleasure for me to share my knowledge and approach to photography with you. You are a wonderfully enquiring student and I am so pleased you enjoyed the course and felt inspired and benefited from my tailored teaching methods. If I can assist you further, I’d be delighted to do so. Richard"

"A lovely day with excellent tuition. I'm no longer overwhelming with my camera options and I now have a much better idea where I'm going with my photography. Such good value for money and Richard certainly delivers his offer of free post course support. Thoroughly recommended."

"I worked with Richard on a number of film and video productions as a cameraman (to his director), mainly in the 1980 and 1990s. Having also worked briefly with other film directors like Roland Joffe, Mike Radford and a number of TV directors, I can honestly say that being with Richard was more inspiring and enjoyable than any of the others, and I learnt more about the very craft I was practicing from him than I had thought possible. I actually turned down a potential opportunity to study cinematography at the National Film School partly because I was already regularly working with Richard on some broadcast project or other and didn't want to lose those contracts. There's never any fuss with Richard; his quiet professionalism, his knowledge of photography and his skill at converting ideas into images are second to none, and I wish I had a fraction of his people skills! This may not be a review of his photography course (which I have just chanced upon), but if it helps anyone decide to try his course, I can only vouch for his long-term influence for the better on my work as a cameraman."
