Fantastic two days spent, thank you so much for all the information you gave to us. The whole experience was superb, will definately be there on the next one. Anne July 2010

The Irish Lass from the 2 amazing days spent with you guys in Cardiff. I just want to say thank you so very much for making it an unbeliveable weekend, Im back home this morning and my brain is buzzing. I was made redundant 2 weeks ago so today and tomorrow are my last days of employment. So Paula Donnelly Photography here I come!!!!!! I cant explain in words how the weekend with you, Kenny, Paul&Sue has inspired me. And I just loved all your humour, fun relaxed and hardworking. So my new journey begins and I will be watching every bit of photo 4 U all the way... Thanks again.. Paula July 2010

Just to say a big thank you for the workshop yesterday. It was very exhausting but gave so much to think about and my wife is buzzing with ideas on how to move her business forward. Please pass our thanks to Kenny, Gary and Sue for their unput as well. It was a long tripfrom Lincoln but well worth it. Mathew & Donna July 2010

Such an experience. All of your staff and the Masters without fail were helpful, funny, energized, positive, exciting, I could go on. You packed so much in and gave so much value for money. I know I don't have to say this as I can see how committed you all are but please keep up the hard work, it is worth it as there are people out here who really appreciate it. Mark July 2010

Highly inspirational: without a doubt, going to any training seminar is highly beneficial. These guys are amongst the top in the world, and are worth every penny. Paul July 2010

Have spent a couple of evenings engrossed in 3 our marathons of films I'm interested in, it's like having your own personal photography guru at your fingertips. Denise July 2010

Thank you Mark. You are the biggest influence on our photography and business and you have transformed what we do. Steve July 2010

I didn't want to miss out on a second year, as the first has year has been fantastic. Derek July 2010

I signed up at PhotoVision in Coventry where I met John the apprentice and had a long chat with him about the site in general and his time as one of your apprentices. I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with this site. I am hoping to qualify with the BIPP this September and have already been able to put your tips to good use with my last client. John advised me to watch the nude posing, which I felt a little embarrased about to start with, but he was right - what a fantastic way to learn more about female posing, my discomfort soon disappeared! Your model is absolutely brilliant and very professional. Anyway - your site is fantastic and I know is going to really help me. Thanks for being one of few professional photographers out there who isn't so far up his own backside he won't help those of us trying to climb the ladder. Keep up the good work! Ellie June 2010

Enjoy Friday Night live and Photo Training 4U is Fantastic! John June 2010

Thank you very much, the training has inspired us to get clicking again, the videos are brilliant! Penny June 2010

In this day and age staightforward no nonsence approach to the subject backed up with a practical demonstration is really refreshing. Jim June 2010

Just wanted to say, very many thanks to you for all your instructional videos. Your style of teaching is very easy to follow and has enabled me to learn much more quickly. Richard July 2010

Good to see you again, only one complaint, I subscribed to the PhotoTraining 4U site, then sat up till all hours watching the videos, and I have work in the morning!! Some amazing stuff on there, and I've not even scratched the surface yet. Still, weekends not far away... Cheers Hogan June 2010

Hey Mark - just wanted to say I'm so impressed with all the work you do. I came to your workshop last year in London (Photoshop Creative), saw you at Monkey Business & Photovision in Hatfield & am a member of Phototraining4u. I've learned so much from your video tutorials, particularly with the apprentices & your books are so easy to read, visual & practical. Just starting out last year as a wedding photographer, I'm loving all the learning & it's helped me so much. Your energy & enthusiasm with your audiences never ceases to amaze me. It's great to see someone in the business making such a difference to up-coming & established togs with practical up-to-date, useful advice, especially with marketing. Thanks so much. Joyce May 2010

I just wanted to say thanks for a great book: Wedding Photography, It’s my bible and am always recommending it to others. Any plans for any other books? Peter May 2010

keep up the good work in giving top quality training at very affordable prices, you would be crazy not to join, you learn so much for so little. Tony May 2010

I'd like to drop you a quick email to say how useful PT4U has been for me. It has given me more confidence, knowledge and inspiration to grow my business as a photographer. Enrique May 2010

I wish i could be one of your apprentices but i live very far away from your location in Greece. I have learned so many things from you and i'm very happy that it happened to meet you from Internet. Its not the money its the love of photography and the way you teach us, and i can tell you that if you weren't here i would still take pictures like tourist. Everything i have learned is from your lessons. Every album that you ll see in my gallery is test from whatever i learned from you. Keep going i think that your are making a very good - special job !!! Thank U again and especially because i think that many things have no price like the way you teach. Bravo as we say here in Greece. Dimitris May 2010

Friday Night Live is worth the membership alone Amber May2010

Just watched the Monkey Business 4 video, 48 Shots - the Next Level Part 1. Fantastic, thanks Mark. Steve May 2010

Having attended your workshop in Coventry on thursday, I just wanted to say thank you for all the advice and teaching. I was very impressed with the Interactive, enthusiastic teaching and tips for improving our skills & income. Myself and my brother were very impressed with the whole structure of the workshop and will definitely attend more in the future. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work. Andrew April 2010

I am lucky enough to have attended many outstanding courses over the last two years and I have found your videos are as useful a tool as it is going to see someone in person, as I can watch them over and over again. Keep it up, they are really good! Steve April 2010

I've recently bought your book; "Wedding Photography". It is absolutely wonderful! I love the easy manner in which you explain everything, and it is so very very practical. This book will become my photography bible, and worth it's weight in gold! Graham April 2010

I've been in sales and marketing for 12 years and each and every time I come to a Monkey Business event I learn something else I had not considered. Now I have more ideas to go off and work on! Alison April 2010

Thanks very much for the Monkey business seminar at Stockport Yesterday. I got so much from it and came away feeling inspired and determined to earn some reddies! Gavin April 2010

I just got your book on wedding photography, as I flipped through your book before purchasing it, I could feel my heart slow down, the stress melting, and a great feeling of "everything is going to be okay, this is more manageable... You see, I am an amateur photographer, as most beginners, I've done shoots here and there for a small fee... but a wedding? YIKES!!! You're book makes it way more manageable, it goes into all the details, which is what the wedding is about...THANK YOU Amber April 2010

Having attended MB4 today at Coventry just want to sat Thanks for another (my 3rd MB) really enjoyable & educational day. Also joined PT4U whilst there and just watched a couple of the lessons, really good glad I joined! Andy April 2010

Did 120K in six months from one of the 10K films, perhaps you should rename them! Adrian April 2010

Just a quick note to say, that after subscribing to PT4U last week, we managed to watch a couple of your tutorials. We used a couple of your editing tips, and our first sale grossed an order of £520. Thanks for the inspiration Paul April 2010

My confidence is growing each week!! Your teaching is legendary! THANK YOU! Neil April 2010

Didn't think I would enjoy the webinar but would tune in anyway. Turned out to absolutely love the experience. Learned a new tip on route. Rob April 2010

I was on the verge of jacking in wedding photography until I heard your presentation and you gave me the imputous to keep going , at least for another year! Graham March 2010

Friday Night Live "Really enjoyed it Mark - picked up a few top tips and laughed alot as well! Looking forward to next week - thank you!" Claire March 2010

Friday Night Live Great Webinar, look forward to joining more. Adrian

Friday Night Live Just wanted to congratulate you on a great first webinar! I admire you for being so comfortable out of your comfort zone! I hope to get an image uploaded in time for the next webinar, but either way, I shall be looking forward to these web events from now on. David March 2010

Thanks for the website its filling in all the gray areas great presentation and i'm so glad to have found it. Keep up the great work!! Bob MArch 2010

Hi, I just wanted to say what a brilliant job you have done with this site, I am more than pleased to be part of it! I also wanted to let you know that since following one of Marks 10k tips, I have generated over 9k additional revenue in just over 3 months! This is ENTIRELY down to business builder tips that Mark suggested so thank you again!! Nigel MArch 2010

Hello I just couldn't let this moment go by - just finished watching Marks interview with Andy Rouse - firstly - move over Michael Parkinson - but if ever there was a video that National Geographic would buy - this was it. Consequently if you really want to move Phottraining4U to the next level i.e. T.V. then this would be your opportunity. After all Andy is already a T.V. Star! George March 2010

Could you pass my thanks on to Mark and the team for the fantastic stand at the NEC last week,the really worked hard to put on some great presentations. Paul March

Just wanted to say, love the site and the videos, they're excellent and just want I wanted. Stephen March

Decided to take the plunge and join at Focus yesterday, already I can see it was well worth the investment, in fact it was probably the best purchase at the show. Having spent the last 35 years retouching other photographers work, now I'm more interested in creating my own images and want to use PhotoTraining4U to help make sure they are not just run of the mill shots. Looking forward to viewing more of the videos, if the ones I've seen already are anything to go by I doubt I'll be watching much telly this year! PAul March 2010

Well.....the Freeview films were so terrific that I took the plunge and signed up. I think you are doing something right! Seeing the struggles, bumbling, and little victories of the apprentices feels right about where I am now. And seeing how they overcome obstacles and integrate Mark's comments helps me as I think out the puzzles he presents to them. If they can figure it out....maybe I can too. Dale February 2010

Mark "He is probably the most influential photographer that I know, he really puts his heart into it, he has so much passion" Wayne February 2010

Just watched Lisa's 5th Critique Homework on the site and recognized one of her photos won a SWPP November gold award as published in the latest Edition of Professional image maker, just like to say that Phototraing4u has got 2 members in that mag as I won the Gold in the baby category for the same month, Credit to you Mark as you have given me the confidence to believe I can do it, sound corny but true. Mark, you are my mentor, Fantastic Work, Fantastic Website, Many, many thanks Ian March 2010

Wanted to congratulate you on your brilliant skills in explaining photographic lighting in the Lastolite videos. I have told my wife.... dear, it is Mark's fault that I bought all that Lastolite kit! Dale February 2010

My renewal all done and dusted, keep up the good work, keeps me sane. Grev February 2010

I have now subscribed to my 2nd year of PT4U and am looking forward to the next 12 month of great films from Mark and the team. James February 2010

Thank you all for the great educational videos Stein February 2010

just renewed my subscription, fantastic service by the way - it really does keep getting better. Steve February 2010

Mark really is the Simon Cowell of the photo industry, his critiques are spot on every time and I can not wait to see what he will do with the next batch of Apprentices. Jamie February 2010

The first year has been really useful and I've learnt one hell of a lot. I've really enjoyed the apprentice shoots as the advice Mark gives is unflinching, practical and always spot on. Keep up the good work Neil February 2010

I have been looking at hundreds of training sites and the service and quality of yours stands head and shoulders above most others i have found Ian January 2010

I discovered Mark when he held some impromptu sessions in New York City last fall at the Javits Center, and I remember thinking, "I'm learning more here, sitting on the floor for free, than with any of the folks I paid to see. Mark is one of that noble and rare class of people: a true teacher. Chase January 2010

Inspired! While not exactly new to the game it's nice to be able to dip in and out and see how different products work before shelling out for them. All presented in mark's friendly manner. I think I'll be viewing for some time to come. Karl February 2010

They're brilliant videos with good advice on gear too. You were right on it, and I'm happy having followed your advice and bought the subscription. It's worthwhile. Affiliate Recommendation from David January 2010

The videos are brilliant I have been a pro photographer for 22 years and that extra 10% of infomation makes 90% difference Paul December 2010

Found PhotoTraining4U yesterday and its been a 24 hour adventure! You have made sense of so much for me that 4 years at university never did. Photography falls under the Fine Art dept at all universities and for a budding commercial photogapher that was murder. Your site has provided me with great practical advise and tips and I feel for the first time that I will now be able to master all the technical stuff I need to enable me to produce the kind of images I so want to provide my clients with. You really are a brilliant teacher and thank you for sharing so freely of of your knowlege. Helen November 2009

Really gaining a lot of knowledge from PT4U - good stuff and value for money! Jeremy November 2009

I've been watching the excellent phototraining4u videos and would like to pass on my congratulations on what you have achieved with them. You've dramatically improved not only my photography but equally importantly, you've improved my understanding of the why's and what-for's of equipment & technique used to achieve the sought after results. So a massive thank you for your extensive video collection at Phototraining4U. More please! David November 2009

can I just say as a member of your PhotoTraining4U I think its fantastic for a starting photographer like me, its brilliant, its even pulled the wife away from her soaps thats how good it is. Keith October 2009

Just want to say a big thank you to you. Did my first big wedding at the weekend and can honestly say without phototraining4u and the location location training it would simply not have been possible. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Brian.H. October 2009

Andy Rouse Interview - What a fantastic interview and what a nice guy. I was riveted throughout the whole interview. I am already looking forward to the next interview Mark. Nigel. P. October 2009

The 12 part photoshop back to basics is excellent and having to re-watch from the beginning and make notes, great idea and thanks for that. Andrew G. August 09

I received a flyer regarding your on-line photography training in with a recent Loxley order, and I think what you're doing is fantastic. Being able to pick up tips and techniques in small bit-sized segments will fit easily with my workload Lindsay D.

I've successfully downloaded my lessons. I want to say that Mark is an excellent teacher and easy to understand. I shall return. John A.

I'm just emailing to say can you please pass my compliments to Mark Cleghorn for such easy to watch/follow videos. I see that I will learn a lot from him and the way he puts it across is ideal. His Flash, Reflector and lighting techniques (plus other tips etc) will be worth it. Gail Barlow

Many thanks for your reply, FANTASTIC VIDEOS! I will be purchasing more... John and Penny Richardson

Just viewed a couple of tutorials, great stuff! Bernie

Learning more than I ever did from books ! Eddie

The member request idea is AWESOME ! Thanks for the Confidential Boudoir Couture films they have made a real difference already in the way I shoot. Andy Patterson

Love the videos! Grev

Using a light-meter 1 and 2 are excellent videos !!! - many thanks Dot

Just had another FIX from the Knowledge Bank, I have a Location Location session booked on the weekend, cant wait. Thanks for ideas and training. Eddy Mason

My Husband and the kids have a complaint ! - there dinner was late because i just could not stop watching the videos. I think I have learnt more in one afternoon than 3 years in college. I like that I get to request films to, so my first request is "Boudoir" please. Pam Ellis - and i promise they will get fed from now on.

Just to say THANK YOU ! The PhotoTraining4U site does exactly what it says on the tin! More back to basics please Terry G.

Hi Guys, just a little message to say how much I am enjoying this new facility and the quality of the videos and training is exceptional Kind Regards George

I have just subscribed to PhotoTraining4U today and had a look at the videos. I am a wedding photographer on the Costa Blanca in Spain and out of touch with training etc in the UK. I just wanted to say how pleased I am with your training videos. Bang up to date and you are using my equipment too! That's a bonus. Mike. P

I have just subscribed to your training website and love it. I have recommended it to my friends, so I hope they sign up too. Kieran

I joined up to Phototraining4U.com at the Focus official launch. I was set to shoot my first wedding a few days after the show - and I was quite nervous. When you are sitting in a hotel room at 11pm with a wedding to shoot the next day and you need some immediate help, you cant rush out and buy a DVD - but you can go on line. This is a great idea and a real value for money. I could wonder into a camera shop and spend a couple of hundred pounds in no time on bags and tripods - but the real thing you need access to is knowledge. This deal enables me to dip in and out of the site whenever I want to access a mother load of knowledge at the click of a mouse. Lee Crawley

Many thanks for your lastest tip, I will be going shopping for a touch in the next day or two, so simple yet so effective... have been photographing weddings for a few years, but i'm still learning, have found the videos a great source of imformation, being able to access them as/when I have time, is a great bonus. Dave

Fantastic, I love the pace and the back to basics principles at times as well as the in-depth tech bits. I have watched 50 of the videos already, they are addictive. Mary T

A real photographer talking about real photography. What a relief from the nonsense so many are spouting Alan

Best £16.58 I spend each month. Tony P.

Just wanted to drop you guys a line to say a massive thankyou for doing these films. Dave L.

If you are thinking about whether or not Photo Training 4 You is worth it. Please do not hesitate. It is the best money I have spent in a long time. Being able to dip in and out of the lessons is fantastic. I can watch and re-watch as many times as I like. New videos every week with something new to learn or brush up on. Mark is the man!! But beware, this club is very addictive, I forget how long I have been watching sometimes!! My hubby used to say he was "a computer widow" - now he says he is "a Mark Cleghorn widow" Keep up the good work guys, you rock. Lynn F.

Thanks again for all the great videos on phototraining4u, they really help with my photography, and you always over deliver on what you say you are going to do. Steve Mc N.

Congratulations on your fantastic web site and course. Just signed up, wow!! what can I say, very good instruction, friendly/funny, and above all very professional. Hat's off to you and your hard working team, well done! Phil R.

We recently signed up for PhotoTraining 4U and it is excellent!! We have been on several monkey business talks and a superclass at the convention and just want to say thank you as our first year in business has been made so much easier with your advice and help. Keep up the good work Simon and Katherine

Just been watching the latest videos on PT4U. The inspire video is amazing!!!! Mike R.

I am a amateur photographer and I have recently signed up for the photoTraining4U site and have learned a number of things within the space of an hour that i have been looking at, exellent stuff keep up the good work. Gerwyn J.

I am so impressed with how things are coming along. It's all down to Mark and the teaching you guys do, it has really helped me in photography and im so glad i found you to put me on the right tracks! So a massive thanks to Mark and the team! Neil B.

Love the site. This will really give my photography a boost. On a limited budget I would suggest that your site is the accessory I would go for first. Lubino

loving phototraining4u... you have transformed my photography Brian H.

You have to hear this! I know you must get fed up this kinda stuff but i have to share this with you as one of your students so apologies in advanced but the excitement has the better of me!. I did my first wedding on Friday and absolutely nailed it......... (if i do say so myself and far better than i imagined) So much so that i have already secured two bookings for next year and have a further three inquires to follow up on from friends of the party - all in TWO days! - It's SUREAL and almost impossible to believe just 9 months in!! I really do feel this is the start of something and have to say couldn't of done it without you guys, PT4U gave me the knowledge to plan and prep professionally and get the shots needed to tell the story. Just take five minutes to see what your training does for us guys! Your legends! The couple were in tears...........im so pleased! Neil B.
