Weston Digital Imaging & Media

Richard is the most loveliest, kindest, professional photographer. He goes over and above to bring customers the top quality work they need. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking highest quality work for themselves or their business. Thank you so much for your work on our Staffs Uni Fine Art Degree Show 2024

Richard is a fantastic tutor with endless enthusiasm and the patience of a saint! I attended a couple of 1-1 lighting lessons where everything was explained in great detail, at a level that was appropriate to my knowledge. I felt I could ask any question at anytime and was given the freedom to experiment with everything and try out anything I wanted to. Richard also mentored me through the final year of my degree and was incredibly supportive. In our studio sessions, he was there to guide me and give the extra push when I needed it. He definitely made photography fun again. When I passed my degree and was nominated for an award for my degree work I think he was more thrilled for me than I was myself. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard as a tutor to anyone at any level.

I enrolled to a class run by Richard to improve my photography knowledge and skills. I was relatively new to photography. He was very welcoming from the very beginning and is mindful to integrate individuals within a class (the class I've joined has varied in size over time 10-15 people). I've been a member of a class for approx 2-3 years and I now regard those people as friends who share a passion for photography. He's very patient as regards explanation and skilled at schooling people in the application of techniques to create (including post production). Over the time I've been taught by Richard I've been very impressed with the collective progress of the class - some amazing work. My photography has improved so much but so has my appreciation of photographic art. What sets Richard apart is how much thought he puts into the class and associated projects and his infectious enthusiasm. The projects have been a brilliant vehicle to learn. His classes are never anything less than great fun. It's not just the quality of the information but the can-do spirit which prevails. Due to COVID we went from classroom to ZOOM based meetings - Richard's mastery of the technology and his spirit of embracing online class is really very impressive. If you've ever thought you might like to improve your photography then I suggest you contact Richard directly - you won't regret it.

Richard Weston has reawakened my interest in photography by encouraging my creativity to a level far beyond just taking a good photograph. He is supportive to very member in the photography class I attend and as I have carried on with the interesting, challenging and informative group classes throughout the last 12 months via Zoom, the progress I have made in the 'art' is patently visible when I look back at my previous work. I recommend Richard's photography classes to anyone wanting to enjoy their interest to the full and to expand their knowledge further. Enjoyment is the key and the creativity follows. Brilliant.

I returned to Photography as a hobby in June 2019 after a 20 year absence, so high end digital cameras and digital post-processing were all new to me. I initially attended one of Richard's classes as part of Goosfest and found the day fun, interesting and educational. From that experience, I started to attend one of Richard's weekly group sessions. I've learnt a huge amount about digital post-processing, enjoyed interesting photographic assignments and met a great bunch of people, all thanks to Richard's classes. I’ve also had the opportunity to go into the studio with Richard and participate in a studio masterclass with a professional model. Something I don’t think I would have done on my own. I would highly recommend Richard and Weston Digital Imaging to anyone who wants to push the boundaries of their photography.
