The Guild of Photographers

Testimonials

"I'm never leaving the Guild…you guys rock !!" Mandy Byrnes

"Since joining the Guild, I have found it a constant and challenging source of inspiration, both in photography and in its ethos. Professional photography is in essence a relatively solitary occupation and as such the warmth of welcome that the Guild has offered, and the obvious camaraderie and support that it engenders is to be applauded. One is alone, but never on your own!"   Andy Robinson

"I was a member of the **** for several years…and got nothing from it. I recently joined The Guild of Photographers and cannot praise them enough! What a great group of people who offer tremendous support and work incredibly hard on behalf of the members. I'm happy to give them this 'plug' as it's well deserved . I would urge anyone looking to join a group of  like-minded, supportive, forward thinking professional photographers to have a look at the Guild and see what’s on offer."      Maggie Booth

"Have only been with the Guild 6 weeks and takings are already up £1200.00 –  Top Drawer stuff!!!!" Peter Knight

"I was given some advice from the Guild in order to promote my wedding photography – Simple practical advice, which was also very inspirational! With the friendly and helpful 'bespoke' advice from the Guild, I have changed my marketing approach, offer customers a clearly superior product and have massively increased my turnover! The Guild are very approachable, clearly want you to succeed and will do all they can to help you."     Belinda James-Castle

'Great reassurance that you managed to cover the hospitalisation of a member. This is always a worry for all of us as you just cannot let couples down.' Tony Dymott

"We have been members of the Guild from the start of our business (10 years plus) and have found the advice and support to be invaluable. After looking at the many professional bodies in the market we chose the Guild. This decision was made easy because of the professional, friendly, structured and understanding support offered. Our photography and business skills have developed with help from the Guild. Now as a Master Craftsman the need to be a member is just as important keeping us aware of new styles, products and market trends. Lesley and Steve have proved just how valuable it is to have someone to talk to that understands your issues and can offer practical advice. They also help us with a reality check on any new ideas and we generally use them as a sounding board when things get tough or issues arise that are there are no simple answers."         Ken Breed

 "As a new member I have been reading through the forums and looking at members' websites and I am realising I have made a  good decision joining the Guild.  I think I will learn a lot from your members."     Alan Rigg

"Having been recommended to join the Guild, I spoke directly to a Guild director and was immediately impressed with their vision for a Guild which would support and progress its members and give confidence to the general public that the photographers were giving a standard of service which was expected of a professional photographer. I would recommend looking at the benefit of membership for this approachable organisation."    Phil Drinkwater  

Our Courses & Mentoring

"The entire course was very well structured, incredibly informative and, above all, fun. Highly recommended, and we doubt you'll learn the skills …. anywhere else."      Digital Photographer Magazine

"I can say without hesitation that I learned more in two days than I have in the past two years. To anybody else who is as sceptical as I was as to the value of investing in training, it has opened more doors in my mind than any number of new lenses or lights ever could. Absolutely recommended!"        Jay Mawson
