Barbara Leatham Photography

I had the absolute pleasure of having two three hour sessions with Barbara over the course of two weeks through work. Barbara was welcoming and engaging from the word go and within an hour it felt like I’d known her for ages and she put me completely at ease - not an easy feat!She was immensely knowledgeable but very humble about the fact and she didn’t use loads of jargon which can be very off putting! She explained things very well often using analogies and amusing alternative acronyms - I’ll forever think ‘Is The Sun Out’ whenever I fiddle with the ISO settings!I went in with very little knowledge but came out feeling confident that I could put my training to good use straight away and am now constantly on the look out for opportunities to take photos!It was so useful to have the training split into two sessions as I could go away and absorb the technical info and practice using the settings and getting comfortable with the camera before we got on to the ‘fun’ arty stuff in the second session. Fitting 30 years of experience into such a short space of time was always going to be a challenge but Barbara imparted so much advice, I was sad when it was over! My training was only going to be for work purposes to get before and after shots of our projects but I’ve asked for a photography book for Christmas so I can start taking photos as a hobby too!If I could give more than five stars I would, thank you so much Barbara!

Barbara is a fantastic photographer who makes you feel comfortable from the moment your session with her starts. She has fantastic ideas when it comes to the different shots and I would use her again and again!

I had a recent photoshoot with Barbara. This is my idea of hell but we needed some shots for business. Barbara was superb, she distracted me, the whole thing was really enjoyable ( which I never thought possible ) and the photos are great. I'm really pleased with them. I can't recommend her enough

Barbara has been a fantastic resource to help me learn about how you can make a camera work for you. Her knowledge and experience about photography is second to none. The session my wife and I had with Barbara was fantastic, would highly recommend :)

We use Barbara for all of our commercial photos and her work is always outstanding! Her knowledge and experience is second to none. Barbara makes the whole process extremely easy and has a great attention to detail to make sure every shot is perfect, even when we have strict deadlines to hit.I highly recommend Barbara for any commercial shoot!
