Client Testimonials

I have been on a number of photography workshops with David in the Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Wolds and Glencoe which I feel with David’s tuition my photography has greatly improved. David has a in-depth knowledge of the locations we visited which allows you to take some great photos of traditional views and spectacular locations that he has scouted out making your photographs unique. David his an excellent tutor who spends time with all workshop attendees helping where required on the technical aspects of photography for the camera, the use of filters where required etc to the artistic side of photography in composition which he has given me a lot of encouragement and advice. What I particularly like is, his patient when he is working with you and his constructive advice when reviewing your work, David is very flexible whilst you are on workshops and he selects the best locations that can be photographed during the appropriate weather conditions, which can range, big vistas, waterfalls, seascapes, woodlands to more intimate and abstract photographs. He is fully converse with photo editing software such as Lightroom, Adobe camera RAW and Photoshop and he takes time with you to learn photo editing techniques to reflect the mood of the subjects you photographed. I have been very pleased with the images I have photographed on his workshops and he always spends time with you to ensure that you come away from the workshops with photographs you can be proud of along with a set of new skills you can further develop in your own time. I thoroughly recommend David’s workshops to any enthusiastic photographer and I’m and looking forward to attending some more of his workshops in the Lake District, Northumberland Coast and North Wales.

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.

Trevor Sadowski Testimonial Testimonials

I went on a beginner workshop with David which was taking place in the Yorkshire Dales. I can't recommend David enough for anyone who wants to get into photography more and get more out of their camera. The workshop started with David's in-depth explanation of how cameras work and how to manipulate light, balancing aperture, iso, and shutter speeds. David also explained to us how to use histograms along with a few bits about file formats and good housekeeping for SD cards. Even though I was aware of shutter speeds, iso and aperture, the rest of the day showed me how little I actually knew about my camera. David took us to several spots including big landscapes, waterfalls and even some lovely spots with some lonely trees which provided a good setup for a nice composition. During that time he showed us how to use manual focus and play with depth of field and how to bring more things into focus and have much sharper images. He also had a few tripods that we could borrow and showed us the advantages of using a tripod in landscape photography. Along with that, he answered all of the questions I had on the day and trust me they were a lot. From how to use filters, to how to stitch photos together to create panoramas, to bracketing. I can't cover everything in one review unfortunately, but what I can say is - if you are looking to learn more about photography and you are not sure where to start and you are thinking of signing up for a workshop, definitely book one with David and you won't be disappointed.

I have just been on a one to one with David to the Flamborough area. To say it was a good day is an understatement. If you want a day out with somebody who fully understands all aspects of Photography and wants to share it with you this is your man. Nothing was too much trouble. Very many thanks David.

Going to the Lake District on a photography workshop on the wettest weekend, was quite an experience. David knowledge of the area, enthusiasm and patience, turn this weekend from a disaster into a brilliant workshop. David drove and drove, avoided areas of floods and searched the sky for spots of light clouds and maybe sunshine, so that we can take some photographs. And we did! Finding the best spot for THE right image and helping with camera setting when needed and any problems we encountered, provided us with some amazing images that otherwise we would have never achieved. Thank you very much David, looking forward to the next workshop.

A great 1-1 day during which I learnt a huge amount from David and we went to some excellent photographic locations in Northumberland that I'd not been to before. Up to now I've just used basic techniques but I now understand a lot more about my camera and how to get the best out of manual settings, as well as finding out how long exposure settings and filters can enhance shots. Highly recommended.

Gordon Forsyth Testimonial Testimonials

I would never have imagined that on a rainy, misty november day I could take photographs in hebden bridge and calderdale, of old mill buildings and waterfalls, that are, to my eyes, stunning! I would never have achieved this without the patient, dedicated and knowledgeable teaching, guidance and coaching that David gave through nine hours of cold, dull West Yorkshire weather. I'll certainly be back for another course.

Janet Strickland Testimonial Testimonials

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 !

Rose Hawkins Testimonial Testimonials

David organised two one-to-one workshops for me. Both were well planned and adaptive to my needs. I found that the workshops focussed on helping me to improve as a photographer rather than just taking me to commonly photographed spots. David was also very helpful around the workshops; for example helped me when my Sony broke days before a workshop and the manufacturer was not being helpful. I was able to also try the Canon system that he has during the workshop to get an idea (swapped systems after the Sony fiasco!). Thank you so much for being so helpful with these!

I really am a beginner when it comes to photography so, during the course of what was a very enjoyable day, David patiently explained the functions of my camera and showed me how using them can create better pictures. I'm pretty sure I won't be shooting in automatic again!!

Rob Speight Testimonial Testimonials

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.
