Testimonials
“The theory, technique, tips and tricks that we learnt were essential in the establishment of our clinic and our own professional development. Patient treatment planning, laboratory communication, and marketing rely on the ability to take great images. We learnt so much from Ian, don’t think about it, just get yourself booked on one of his online or hands-on courses. ”
“Ian explains dental photography in a beautifully simple and structured way. I left the course feeling confident with the theory, how to use the camera, and the importance of composition.”
““Amazing course! Not only am I able to take the extra/intraoral photos that I want, but all my nurses can too! Had the course on a Saturday, and my nurses then took really good patient photos independently on the Monday!””
“Ian was fantastic to learn with. There wasn’t a question put his way regarding dental photography he couldnt or didnt answer. The course slides were excellent and I really enjoyed seeing the outcome of great photography ... now time for me to practice, practice, practice. Thanks again Ian, great course.”
“I have heard many lectures on photography from several well known experts over the years, this was refreshingly simply presented with depth and breadth for any non photographer to understand”
“One of the most useful and valuable courses that I have ever attended. Thoroughly enjoyable and has given me so much confidence that I can’t wait to put what I have learnt into practice.”
“Having considered myself a keen photographer for a number of years, I attended Ian’s course purely as an opportunity to gain some additional CPD. Upon completing the one day hands on photography course, it wasn’t a refresher as initially thought, but has made me look at every aspect of my dental photography, and I came away full of new tips and tricks to improve the quality but also consistency of my dental photography.”
