After meeting with another 2 wedding photographers, me and my new husband took the decision to go…read morewith Samuel. It was a really easy decision as Samuel came across as the most professional and reliable of the photographers we met. On our wedding day Samuel was really friendly, not only with us but with all our guests. We had lots of good comments about him from our family and friends. The best part of it was when we received our photographs. We were amazed with the results and we couldn't stop looking at them! We would recommend Samuel to anyone who's looking for a wedding photographer as we couldn't thank him enough for what he's done for our family. Thank you ever so much Samuel! Samantha & Paul

We were very disappointed with the photos we received from Samuel Da Silva for the following…read morereasons: 1) It took about 45 days for our wedding photos to be provided to us. 2) We were promised 400 photos but received less than the number agreed to. Instead, he tried to make up numbers by providing us the same photos in black and white, in addition to colour. 3) A large number of the photos taken both indoors and outdoors were overexposed. Most of the the lighting issues could be fixed relatively easily with software, available free online. While we're not experts, it took is very little time to fix these lighting errors ourselves. What is disappointing is that he did not take the time to fix these himself, even though he was late in delivering the photos. It seemed that he had just downloaded the photos from the camera's memory card to CD. Overall we received amateurish photos and we would not recommend him to our friends.

We rented 2 cameras with 1 camera light from You Do the Shoot for our Wedding in December and they…read moresent us 2 cameras, 1 camera light, 2 tripods, 6 batteries, and very detailed instructions on how best to use the cameras and get the perfect video for our day. The cameras were great, we only needed 3 batteries for the whole day and we got hours of footage which You Do the Shoot provided to us. We also paid for YDTS to edit the footage to a 'best bits' video. The finished product was outstanding and will be treasured forever! We were provided with 6 copies of this on DVD, a couple which didn't work properly so YDTS sent us another 4 extra. The sound of the speeches and ceremony wasn't great on the raw footage but YDTS worked their magic and managed to make the speeches and ceremony clear - so we can watch this over and over as many times as we want. Would definitely use YDTS again (unlikely I'll have to!) and recommend them to all my friends.

If you are an actor in need a headshot for spotlight, or a corp exec needing a photo for the company website, then Katura is the photographer for you. She is a consumate professional and, though she is more than just a headshots and portrait kind of photographer, she knows how to shoot them exceedingly well. I am looking forward to receiving my final print outs.

Having a portrait done of your baby is bit of an indulgence so you want to make sure that when you…read morehave it done you are in good hands. The East Dulwich based photographer was excellent and being the parent of a young child themselves had a real way of getting the most from my daughter. The baby photos were excellent and we were so pleased we are going back for a family portrait.

We discovered this photography studio, quite by accident, while on vacation in London. The studio…read moreis located in the lower level of a gift shop directly across the street from Harrods Department Store. We did not plan on taking professional photos but we got caught up in the idea and the various costumes available (Tudor, Old West, Gangster, etc). We chose "Tudor" and were quickly taken into a room so we could change and choose which headpieces we wanted to wear as well as rings and swords. The photographer was very professional and the sitting took about one hour. There was a variety of poses and props that we used and after the sitting we had over 125 photos to choose from. We had big laughs looking at the photos while sitting on a sofa in front of a big screen TV. In the end we decided on four photos and decided on a package plan which included digital copies. The price was fair and the photos were also retouched to give us flawless complexions which is always flattering. I recommend seeking out Old & New Photography Studio for your photographic needs. Have a good time and remember to have fun and get caught up in the moment. We did!

I really liked Hairy Goat's photography walking tour of The City area in London (the "mystery…read moretour"). It was great for street photography (Monday during lunch hour in the financial district) and city scape / architectural photography). My guide, Steven - a professional photography - was very knowledgeable about the history of the City and an engaging person generally. He took us to really cool hidden gems through alleys that one wouldn't expect to lead anywhere - Charles Dicken's favorite pub, Shakespeare's church, a garden courtyard with office workers eating lunch in the sun while a guy practiced advanced yoga on the lawn, the shell of a church bombed out in WWII. There is so much to see in The City that I would definitely take this tour again.

It's usful for the odd things that you might run out of, but for anything else it is a bit expensive: I find the web the best bet for anything larger. Their photocopying (self-service) is also useful in doing all variants (double-sided, etc) up to A3. I just wish the staff - of whom there seem to be quite a lot for such a small shop - could be more consistently cheerful. Some of them are really dour. *************************** Update: 11-12-2007 Staff seemed more cheerful on my last visit, so an extra star is deserved.
