STAFF
Paul not only knows all of the CB products in great detail but can articulate the pros and cons of each product with empathy to his customers needs and wants. His insights into the nuances of tripod and tripod head design and their applications with respect to his customers usage is outstanding. His one-on-one workshops and Saturday workshops in the CAMERAS BROOKWOOD studio are overwhelmingly well received. Paul also manages the photography classes held at the Botanical Gardens.
