I have attended a number of Andrew's workshops and they are just simply fantastic. He keeps the groups small and the price of the workshop is very reasonable compared to others in his area.

The workshops themselves are always fun and have a great atmosphere. One of his greatest skills is the ability to know exactly when you need some help, and also when to stand back and simply encourage you to experiment for yourself.

Each session he plans has a theme, but then gets tailored to the needs/wishes of the group. He is certainly happy to go off on a tangent if someone has an idea request. As an example, one of the photographers in this shoot wanted to use a hover as a prop. Don't ask me why I couldn't explain, but Andrew as always was more than happy to accommodate the request and produced a hover.

If you are looking for a workshop to attend then I would strongly recommend you check them out.

I did my first workshop with the London photography social and it was amazing I enjoyed every part of it all of the photographers were very friendly and easy to work with and they all made sure I was comfortable at all times I can’t wait to do another one hopefully in the near future

Quite simply the best and probably the only workshops that I will attend. Meeting Andrew and his carefully selected cast of models, over a couple of years, has been life-changing for me and set me on a new course in my photography. Highly recommended for both models and aspiring togs (even if you don't care for Taylor Swift all evening!).

What new can I say, which all these people have not already said , these is one of the best workshops which you can attend in UK and you will never be disappointed.

Workshops are always fun , open to all levels of photographers, full of amazing model and always amazing theme including studio , outdoor and out of country as well. you will get 1-2-1 time to shoot and build your art.

Andrew is one of the best host and photographer who will help you in all aspects of out work as much as he can.

It was Andrew's workshop through which I started and he has helped me in so many aspects of my photography and whom I can call a friend now.

Always recommended if you want to have a fun , informative and want to work and improve on your portrait photography

Thanks

I've worked with Andrew many many times now - both privately and on the London Photography Social - and even recently had the absolute pleasure of attending its two year Gin extravaganza. Andrew is a social butterfly who knows how to make everyone feel welcome and get them to have the best time possible, whether that's whilst he's tutoring or on any of his many social events.

He runs his workshops brilliantly. They're always smooth, always on time, and always well guided by Andrew, who is constantly on hand to help anyone who needs it.

Andrew is one of my favourite photographers, and definitely one of the best group shoot leaders I've ever worked with.

Can't wait to model for the next one - and hope to see you there! :)

I have modelled for Andrews workshops multiple times, and his is one of the best around! He is attentive to the photographers needs, and always ensures I’m comfortable as the model!

The amount of planning and effort that Andrew puts into his workshops shows, he thinks of every little detail and the results have always been incredible! He is creative with his ideas and makes sure his workshops are the best they can be!

Andrew is such a lovely guy, someone I now class as a good friend! He’s professional, friendly, and really fun to work with. If you haven’t attended or modelled for his workshops yet, you’re missing out! Can’t wait for the next one, 100% recommended :) xx

I have had the pleasure to work with the London Photography Social group a fair few times this year on location in london, as well as studio workshops and 1-2-1s.

Andrew organises his workshops with great professionalism, he teaches and guides well, ensures the model is always ok and treated respectfully and is an all round fantastic guy with an abundance of banter!

His workshop attendees are always polite, friendly and a joy to work with, coming up with some very creative ideas and sharing their work often.

I can't wait to get back shooting with the team when I return from Germany next year. Highly recommended.

Andrew is an absolute delight to work with. He is friendly, approachable and takes care of his models. He has incredible photography knowledge and always is willing to help others build and grow their photography skills. I always look forward to Andrews shoots as I know they will be fun, professional, and safe! Thanks for always being a good photographer and friend Andrew! You are doing amazingly!

I have been to a few of LPS workshops and they are always very organised and lots of fun. The models are always amazing and work very hard to get you the best shots. You are always given plenty of instruction and advice if needed. The fellow members are always helpful and professional towards each other, everyone is made to feel welcome. Also if you are shooting in the studio Andrew always has an amazing selection of music to listen to 😉 If you haven’t been to one of the workshops what are you waiting for, get signed up sharpish. Very Highly Recommended. Thanks for always making me feel welcome, hope to come to many more in the future.

I've been trying to get on one of Andrew's workshops for a while, and i'm glad i persevered. I was at an Urbex shoot in London. 2 models, 4 photographers, 3 hours. Only shooting 1:1 with the models so no one fighting over each other and no disconnected eyelines in the shots.

Just an interesting location and two absolutely stunning models.

Andrew is a welcoming and knowledgeable person, there to provide help and assistance and make sure the timings stay on track, which he does in a very personable way.

I'm constantly looking for the next Workshop i can do.

Thanks Andrew.

Jamie Tempest Photography

Having been to a number of Andrews workshops both studio and location based I can say they are always incredibly well organised and such good fun. Always 1:1 shooting with great models and other photographers that are always polite and courteous as Andrew doesn't tolerate unprofessionalism from anyone. His music taste is of course impeccable! Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting out in the world of portrait photography there is a lot to learn from these workshops and from Andrew.

Highly recommended and if you get a rare place on one you'll have a great time!

Andrews workshops are well organised and he helps set up a wide range of varied and interesting lighting setups throughout the day!

He's very attentive to his clients, insuring they receive the best quality photos from the day.

As a model he makes sure we are well looked after and comfortable.

Not only that he's hilarious and normally has me in fits of giggles.

Highly recommended

I have attended many, many workshops with Andrew over the last two years. I was relatively new to model photography and he really helped me develop skills in fashion and portraiture, both in studio, on location, and abroad.

Andrew is a welcoming and gracious host, who I now consider a good friend. His workshops feature amazing models, excellent HMUAs, and great styling. Its a pleasure to attend his workshops for experience, portfolio-building, friendly banter, and to meet other talented photographers and models.

I highly recommend London Photography Social!

Marc Ortiz

Whether you are a beginner photographer or a Professional. You won’t regret going to one of London Photography social workshops!

For the models out there – don’t hesitate to contract Andrew / London Photography social if you want to model for one of the workshops!

Andrew is one of the friendliest person out there! He makes sure everyone will have a good time on the workshop! He even brings snacks for everyone!

The workshops are well organised. There is no paparazzi shot – it’s 1-2-1 shoot time. So models will not feel overwhelmed. And also the photographers will have a sort of unique shots by the end.

I cannot recommend LPS enough!

Lauraxharwood

Worked with the LPS as their model and enjoyed every minute of it! Andrew is so welcoming to not just myself but all the other Photographers who attend. He talks about respect for models and makes you feel so at ease throughout the whole shoot. It is extremely well organised. You will always finish on time but never feel rushed. I highly recommend!

I have had the chance to take part in Andrew's workshop (London Photography Social) several times. Not only were the workshops (all of them, no kidding!) amazing opportunities to develop my port, but I got to meet like minded photographers that are extremly friendly and full of talent!

Andrew organizes a variety of incredible workshops (location, studio, abroad, etc.) but also social events where models and photographers get together, talk photography and mingle!

This is a great group of people, led by one of the most fantastic photographer that I have had the chance to meet (Andrew = ilusphotography) and that I now get to call a close friend!

I highly recommend to get in touch, togs and models alike!

Jasmine El

These are the best workshops I have had the pleasure of working on. Andrew is super professional and alwyas makes sure they run smoothly. I have received some awesome images and met some lovely photographers. Each person gets a set amount of time allowing themselves their own creative input and Andrew is very interactive and helpful. The shoots are always a success and so much fun to be on. Each time has been so different with new ideas and themes.

I can't wait for the next one!

K Byrne

Incredible workshops and run by one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. I regularly model for LPS and couldn’t recommend them enough! The models are always well cared for, the workshops are fun, well-organised and professional, plus Andrew is a truly talented and lovely guy! Perfect combo! And if you’re really lucky you’ll get a taste of Andrew’s funky playlist :)

Creative Light Lessons

The workshops Andrew runs are fantastic. Always creative and inspiring with amazing models and super friendly togs. It’s great to feel challenged to create awesome shots but it’s always with the support of Andrew and team. I have learned so much from these workshops - and made some great friends along the way. I would highly recommend to togs of all levels.

Andy Mottram

If you are looking for great workshops, fun people, a genuine interest in helping you get better as a photographer and truly awful taste in music then LPS is a must.

I’ve been to a number of varied workshops now with Andrew and two things are consistent them - every time I’ve had a great time and got some great images and every time I’ve heard more Taylor Swift than anyone should in a lifetime.

It’s tempting not to be honest about how great LPS is because it’s already so hard to get a space on his in demand workshops but Andrew works so hard and cares deeply about delivering quality that I have to be honest and give him the highest possible recommendation
