"I commissioned Ewan Arkieson Photography to provide me with two professional portraits of myself and a colleague for my company website. We really felt very comfortable - Ewan took time to make sure we were at ease. Testament to his professionalism is that not only did he work around our schedule, but also accurately followed our brief. The pictures were excellent. We highly recommend Ewan Arkieson Photography."

Andrew Stewart, Managing Director, Notabenii Limited

"Ewan came to my office for a portrait shot. But, as it's a high security building, we were forced to shoot outside in the pouring rain. Despite the terrible weather, Ewan did a fantastic job of finding suitable spots and capturing some excellent shots. A very professional service I would recommend to anyone."

Sandy Robb, Edinburgh

"Ewan Arkieson took charge of the photo shoot for my music promotion. He made it very easy for me to relax and feel natural throughout the afternoon. The pictures were top quality. I take great pleasure in recommending his talent, creativity and professionalism and would not hesitate to ask Ewan to take photographs again at any other important future event."

Benny Tetteh-Lartey, Musician

“Ewan Arkieson has worked with the National Museum of Flight and the National War Museum, both as a photographer and expert instructor, at our large events. I have found his photographic work, mostly publicity pictures of historical re enactors, to be excellent. In addition to this, he has worked well with the re enactors and around the general public. I have always found him an easy person to do business with, his communication is good and he delivers what he has agreed to deliver. In giving expert tips and guidance to the general public he is a patient and methodical instructor.”

Adam Love-Rodgers, Learning Officer, National Museum of Flight and National War Museum

"Ewan came in to take some portrait shots of staff, for use both online and in a mailing. He was extremely professional and easy to deal with, both when organising the session and when taking the photos themselves. Staff feedback was also very positive, in that all the staff who needed to have their photograph taken commented on how at ease Ewan made them feel, and that sitting for a photo wasn't as bad as they thought it might have been. I was really pleased with the results, and would have no hesitation in recommending Ewan and using him again."

Sarah Tait, Customer Experience Manager, Standard Life

"I had a great afternoon out and about in the city centre on the Street Photography workshop. Ewan was a patient and encouraging teacher, with lots of good tips, which I had plenty of time to put into practice. My aim for the afternoon was to gain more confidence in street photography, and I certainly achieved this. I was really pleased with the shots I got and I'm really looking forward to putting what I learned into practice again in the future. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who, like me, fancies a shot at street photography, but doesn't know quite where to start."

Helen Alderson, Edinburgh

“I engaged Ewan as a photography tutor to deliver a series of lessons to people who wanted to improve their photography skills. Ewan prepared thoroughly and delivered a very well-structured lesson followed by practical tips and techniques on a walking tour. Ewan made sure that each learner had enough time to benefit from the session and the feedback from the participants afterwards was extremely positive."

Martin Browne, Director, TutorNet Ltd

"I attended a photography workshop with Ewan in March and found the class to be fun, informative and well-structured. Ewan is professional, helpful and offered great advice. He was also willing to go the extra mile to help my photography progress. I will definitely attend another of Ewan's workshops."

Gordon Gilchrist, Livingston

"The combination of Ewan's personable approach, fantastic domain expertise and a well-structured but flexible plan for the day made this a great introduction to street photography. There were lots of solid tips and techniques I'll certainly be putting into practice in my own photography."

Lloyd Vaughan, Edinburgh

"Ewan aIways gets a blurred person in the photos he takes for me... many people wouldn't consider that the sign of a good photographer, but I do because it's exactly what I asked for. When photographing my art work, it's useful to have vague people in the installation shots to give an indication of scale. Ewan has shown immense patience in getting the composition right, especially when I requested we also had a small child in the photograph. I have been very happy with the work Ewan has produced for me, and also for his generosity in giving tips about photography in general."

Catherine Sargeant, Artist

"I really enjoyed the street photography workshop with Ewan - it was great fun. He showed me some of the "secrets" of capturing good images on the street, and I now have more confidence and better techniques to take part in the area of photography I enjoy the most - Thanks Ewan".
