For Photographers

Angela is a Grand Master Photographer within our association. She has a passion for giving back to the industry and does so by writing articles for Professional Imagemaker magazine, mentoring photographers to improve their craft through our Mentor Me programme, judging photographic qualifications and upholding the standards we set, and providing lectures for photographers to improve their imagery and business. Angela does all this to a very high standard and in an extremely professional manner.

I have always promised myself that I would submit images for competitions or qualifications, but never had the knowledge of what was required for such images and certainly not for panels. No other trainer has ever provided this knowledge in any workshops open to all. Now after one session, I feel I am much better prepared and it has opened my eyes to areas I would otherwise still be in blissful ignorance about. Just one day has taken me from “no chance of submitting a panel” to “Image and panel planning in progress”. Thank you Angela.

I recently attended a Photography Workshop led by Angela Adams at the beautiful Reymerston Hall in Norfolk, and it proved to be an incredibly valuable and enjoyable experience. The session focused on 12 key elements to consider when critiquing your own photographs, alongside detailed guidance on planning and presenting a cohesive panel of 20 images for photographic qualifications. Angela’s preparation and delivery were excellent. The workshop was well-structured, engaging, and thoughtfully paced, allowing participants to absorb each concept while applying it through discussion and example. She created an interactive and supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable sharing thoughts and asking questions, which made for a collaborative and motivating day. The content was both insightful and practical — providing not just theoretical understanding but also real-world approaches to self-critique and visual storytelling through image sequencing. I left the workshop feeling inspired and better equipped to approach my own photographic work with a more analytical and creative eye. Overall, Angela delivered a thoroughly professional and inspiring workshop, and I would highly recommend her training to photographers of all levels looking to refine their craft and elevate the presentation of their work.

I really enjoyed the workshop. Angela is a genuine font of knowledge and insight, and I came away with a much-improved way of critiquing my own work. Her presentation style is engaging, down to earth, and refreshingly honest. The session wasn’t about boosting egos with false praise but about giving constructive, thoughtful feedback that helps photographers grow. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of how to improve their images.

Angela is a brilliant mentor. She is enthusiastic, passionate about photography and hugely knowledgeable about the business side of things. I have finished the three induction sessions more motivated and with a head full of ideas on how to move my business forward.

I’ve known Angela for many years and always found her to be very knowledgeable and insightful. The Critiquing and Curating your Photography workshop has something for all levels of photographer; every participant will learn something and leave with something to think about. I’d recommend this workshop to help you critique your own images giving you valuable insight how to instantly improve your work. It will keep you thinking turning things over long after the workshop has finished and you’re back home.

Angela, You recently judged my panel for ASWPP qualification. I just wanted to say a huge thank you (not for the pass, which is obviously greatly appreciated) but for your in-depth feedback, absolutely invaluable, thank you!

A relaxing insight into how judging is in the photography world,along with key elements to consider for how we can create professional images. All from a well-known photographer and judge – Wow how lucky are we to have such an inspiring lady – Angela Adams providing this great experience.Big thank you for opening my mind again!.

Thank you so much... the input and feedback per image is just amazing, and it taught me a lot about my strengths and weaknesses, which I will improve from now on. Thank you so much Angie, the feedback is invaluable I take on-board everything I have learnt from this submission. Some of the images are from a few years ago, so I have moved on since then. But I work on a new body of work, and certainly take everything you have told me into that. Many thanks again, I really appreciate the time and feedback.

I am just writing to say a huge THANK You for reviewing my images and sending me my feedback. This was by far the most informative and useful of all the reports I've had. Firstly, it arrived so quickly which took me by total surprise. The critique for each image was detailed and gave me clarity on the possible improvements that can be made and I actually feel for the first time that I can understand what is letting the images down from a technical point of view, rather than a personal preference. I would just like you to know that I really appreciate the time and effort you have gone to and that you've really helped to reinstate my desire to work towards my next qualification. Kindest Regards.

I have known Angela for around 14 years. I have always found her to be extremely supportive of myself and other photographers and this course was no exception. Angela is calm (I like calm people), and is keen to help people in a non-pushy way. She will make you think deeply about the subject without any of the hard lecturing that comes with some teachers.
