Testimonials from some satisfied clients:

This is a quick note to thank you for the one-on-one session this past Wednesday. I learned more in that hour and a half than in months of manual reading and internet searching. I’ve begun putting your advice to work here and am excited to see my future photos! It was a pleasure meeting you and learning from you.

_Derek Allard, Easthampton

Thanks so much for the morning session – I thoroughly enjoyed and greatly benefitted from it. I’m already looking forward to the second session. I will integrate your notes with notes and use them as a guide for the next steps in my photography journey.

I have had the privilege and pleasure of working closely with Robert Floyd on the development of a series of personal portfolios. 

He met with me 1:1 and guided me systematically through the arduous process of reviewing my work library, helping me see where I have strong enough bodies of work to "warrant" specific personal portfolios (e.g., intimate portraits, cityscapes...). 

As we reviewed individual images, he used his photographic expertise and wisdom as a gallery owner to give me editorial suggestions, which, more times than not, truly improved my image, along with practical feedback.  

He struck a delicate balance of being supportive and encouraging but also willing, to be honest and straightforward if he thought a particular image was too weak to be included in a portfolio.  I did not feel like he imposed his style or a set agenda but instead encouraged me to see my strengths and my photographic voice. Sometimes, our opinions differed, but I always felt respected, and his explanations were thoughtful and educative.

If he referenced someone else's work to make a point, it was not uncommon for me to receive an email later that evening with a photo attached illustrating the point he was making. I felt like he was "holding" our process even when we were not actively meeting in a session. 

He taught me the importance of valuing my work and how best to show it to those interested. 

He was patient and steadfast in his willingness to help me complete this otherwise overwhelming task.  After four sessions, I arrived with a series of well-organized portfolio folders, each with selections of "best of" images I am now ready to print. I  am genuinely grateful for his professional guidance, wisdom, and endless encouragement to discover and uncover my artistic vision.

Hi Robert, I wanted to say thank you for your one-on-one session. It was very beneficial and gave me another way to look at my landscapes. I normally would not look at the landscape vertically. I will now look at my images and possibly make them vertical. I will also look at cropping my images differently. I will also consider doing a one-on-one session before I print images. Again, thanks, Robert. 

_Jack Grimaldi, Ludlow

Our session was helpful on many levels, including helping me focus more on the fine arts aspect of my work. I appreciated you identifying my work that moved you and why it did so. I wish we could have been in the same room, but I appreciate your flexibility in meeting with me over the phone! Thanks much, 

_Amy Klein, Windsor, CT

"I was unsatisfied with the technical quality of my photographic images and needed professional help. In a very short time, Robert gave me the skills needed to advance the quality of my work, which has now been published in several national magazines. I have never experienced so much improvement in such a short time due to Robert's informative and knowledgeable teaching style."

"I thoroughly enjoyed attending the Learn to Sell ... and Learn to Market Your Art as Artwork Workshops.  They provided a wonderful overview of key principles and specific strategies for thinking about photography as a business.  Robert is a clear communicator and took a personal interest in understanding me as an artist.  He helped me to fine-tune my mission statement and think deeply about where I want to go with my photography.  This was one of my best investments."

"A colleague referred me to Robert Floyd’s Gallery & Learning Center. After two very comprehensive consultation sessions, Robert helped me better understand my style and genre as an aspiring professional photographer. He took the time to listen, formulate very useful perspectives, and provide much-appreciated candid feedback on my work. This is an exceptional experience for photographers of any age or experience!"

_Bob B, Westfield, MA
