Neil Buckland
Photographer, Founder, Chief Instructor

Neil Buckland started REDred Photo School & Studio in 2008 after leaving a lucrative corporate career in search of something more fulfilling. Neil is a life-long photographer with a genuine passion for teaching photography. He considers the craft of teaching a truly culminating form of art and continually develops and refines his workshops in true artist form. He deliberately chose not to call the company by his own namesake because he wanted REDred Photo to be about more than just himself. Neil and his team of wonderfully creative individuals have developed more than 25 workshops, classes, and courses in photography, makeup, and styling with more on the way. Neil’s dream is to create a comprehensive school for photographers and stylists that empowers the creative individual to grow from novice hobbyist to creative professional or master artist.
