I have just come back from the three day course in Northumberland. I found David to be very knowledgeable, patient and above all a great teacher who really cares that his students get excellent value for money. I will certainly be back for more.

I’ve recently been on one of Davids “one to one” courses and I can honestly say it was a superb day. David is a great teacher with masses of knowledge on camera techniques, composition and Photoshop. His character comes through on the day and this sets you at ease so you don’t feel like your being taught, but you are. One last thing, his choice of locations have some spectacular images to capture. I’ll definitely be booking one of his courses in Whitby next year.

After a long delay due to Covid restrictions, David and I finally got together for a Basics for beginners one to one workshop. I thought I knew how to use a camera, but how wrong I was. I could ramble on about how much I learnt, but if like me, you love taking pictures, but are disappointed with the results, then this workshop is for you. David made me a promise at the start of the day, that by the time my workshop was finished, I would never use the 'Auto' setting again on any camera. He was right. I ended the day with some of the best pictures I have ever taken, and a lot of new knowledge. David is a patient man, and delivers the workshop in a very practical style.

Hi David, Thank you for sending the links and thank you very much for a great photo workshop. Thanks for your clear explanations (as I said in the Questionnaire I dislike studying manuals) N also managed to achieve some great photos (actually more than achieved, I am actually ecstatic! – especially with the waterfall but also the Hawthorn tree) we had been hoping to get. Your enthusiasm really helped us to understand the cameras settings so much better. Again – thanks for that! Unfortunately – or fortunately I should say – lots of work was waiting for us coming back, so all I managed up to now is downloading the photos but I did not have any time for editing. I’ll be in touch soon, Best wishes, R & N (Shetland)

Hi David. A big thank you for the one-to-one course held on the East Coast on Wednesday. You started with really basic help on manual shooting and helped me understand what my micro four-thirds is capable of. Much more than I thought, and I can't wait to keep practicing non-automatic images!! We had amazing weather, but your knowledge of the tides and the timing of the sunset set me up for some beautiful sunset shots that I didn't think I would be able to get. You have really fired my imagination with your references to patterns and lines, and I can't wait to get the tripod out again in Scotland next week. Thank you very much. Sue.

I ordered 4 large prints from David and from the start he was fantastic. His commitment to customer service was outstanding and he was extremely helpful in tailoring my order to suit me. The quality of the prints and framing are exceptional, they really make the photos stand out so you get the full impact. I had a lot of commitments and David worked around them exceptionally, delivering to the door all on my terms. I bought photos for a work living space and I have only received amazing comments on the pictures and their quality. I cannot recommend him enough and would definitely buy from David again. Thank you so much !

Just returned from a Northumberland workshop tired but having learnt a huge amount. David's style was relaxed but he had plenty of time for one to one for us all. We got up early and went to just the right places to capture spectacular sunrises and sunsets. I returned with armfuls of superb images and a desire to do more. We even covered some non-landscape activities which were different and have widened my interest base.

We are pleased to be associated with David Speight Photography and have recently received two exceptional pictures, shortly to have pride of place in our offices. No doubt we will fill more space by selecting from Davids collection, particularly since a lot of his work reflects the local landscape in a beautiful part of the country. Equally important is his choice of frame which enhances the quality of the picture and his workmanship in particular. Our business is based around high quality product and we wish to portray that throughout the factory and offices – David’s work perfectly fits in with that ethos.

Thanks David for inspiring me to get out and about with my camera. I spent a full day with David meeting before Sunrise near Malham and visiting some amazing places I didn’t know existed. I learnt so much during the day despite having spent 30+ years as an amateur photographer including some really simple but effective techniques to really get the most from the location and the camera. Highly recommended and I will be back for more!

Many thanks for an excellent two day workshop in the Lake District. It was not solely about composition and technical development ( and it was very much tailored to individual needs) but also the introduction of some stunning new locations and view points for me. I cannot recommend this weekend enough.
