Bernie Raffe AMPA - Award winning portrait & wedding photographer

I'm a (now retired) professional photographer based in UK, I'm originally from London's East End where I grew up in the 50's and 60's. I've been passionate about photography ever since my parents bought me my first camera when I was just 11 years old (a Kodak Brownie 127)!

Voted one of Udemy's outstanding Instructors

In 2014, Udemy had 12,000 instructors, over 5 million students. I was voted one of that year's outstanding instructors.

I've had over 5,000+ excellent reviews for my video courses at Amazon, Udemy and and Skillshare

I'm qualified as a photographer to 'Associate' level with both the MPA (Master Photographers Association), and the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) in the UK.
I've taught other professionals at various conventions, and I'm also a guest speaker on cruise ships, plus I'm in demand as a speaker to beginner and keen amateurs at camera clubs.

I do love sharing my passion for photography, and I've produced a set of films which are more 'project' based than most photography tips that you come across. These entertaining and informative films will demonstrate, without blinding you with science, how you can be a better photographer, taking more creative and dramatic photos that will wow your friends and family.
