Client Testimonials

Just had a tremendous day in Northumberland... Howick, Alnwick Castle and Holy Island. Expert tutoring from a real professional who shares his extensive knowledge fully. Opened my eyes to the potential that my camera has to offer, which hitherto had been a mystery. Tremendous. Just need to fix a date for another workshop.

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)

A second trip out with David, what a find! Not being one of life’s professionals in the camera/ photography field, he completely understood my requirements which he treated with kindness, patience and understanding. I have learned so much, including the search for that “ special “ photograph - one you are proud to show off. I still have a long way to go, and David, I hope, will put up with my inexperience .

Mrs Judith Auty Testimonial Testimonials

David thank you for a fabulous day in the Yorkshire dales. I was lucky to get a 1-2-1 session and being new to photography you certainly showed me the basics of what a DSLR camera does, how to use it and how to get the maximum out of a fantastic piece of engineering. You certainly know your stuff and where the best spots are. I had a fantastic day and I really appreciate your patience with my basic understanding, hopefully you will agree I did get the hang of it and took some good pics. For anyone contemplating a photography course or workshop, I cannot recommend David enough. There is no better way than getting out there and getting hands on with a camera in the environment you are going to shoot. I am now planning to book on one of David’s extended workshops hopefully in the Lakes or Scotland now that I have purchased my own equipment. If you are in the same position as I was in terms of not owning any equipment, I would suggest speaking to David who will be able to advise you based on his vast experience. David thanks once again, keep up the fantastic work. See you soon on another workshop.

I’ve just returned from David’s Lake District workshop and can’t thank him enough for his knowledge of the area and the fantastic photographic locations he took us to and for all the tips and techniques he gave me which resulted in many images I am really pleased with. His relaxed and friendly manner made the whole experience a complete joy .

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.

Many thanks once again for another excellent couple of days out with you. Your knowledge of the Yorkshire countryside and the best places to take photographs must be unique and unsurpassed. Amazing places so close to the 'Industrial North' and some great pics. Thanks for introducing a couple of techniques new to me that were a great help and which I will go on using. See you next year!

I cannot recommend the beginners photography course with David highly enough, from the ease of booking and payment to communication about the days logistics. Starting with explaining the basics of any DSLR camera to explaining the functions easily on our individual camera types. Demonstrations of equipment and technique was thorough and Davids knowledge and experience in his field are second to none. We were guided through some spectacular scenery and venues to try all sorts of different styles of photography, different subjects, lighting and locations. A full, fun packed immersive day with a professional. I may not have had a clue about my new hobby before I went, but after my workshop I have a good overview of my equipment and the know how to go away and start practicing. Nothing was too much trouble to explain and no question too silly, I ABSOLUTELY loved every minute! I will be back! Thank you David for igniting a new hobby and passion in me!

June 2021. I have just returned from my first 1-2-1 tuition workshop with David in Swaledale. I thoroughly enjoyed the day, the advice, information and guidance offered by David in his relaxed, unpretentious manner. We visited some beautiful locations, and he left me with tips on where else to visit, which I did the following day with a new-found confidence in my photography. Thanks to the tuition I feel that I am now in charge of the camera, rather than it in charge of what I take. I am now about to book further workshops to develop my skills further.

Granville Orange 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

Just returned from the Heather photography workshop in the Dales. This is the third one day workshop I've attended with David and I have to say that once again it was very enjoyable and informative. David has an excellent knowledge of the area, and always seems to have a good selection of locations available to suit the conditions and the particular interests of attendees. His passion and enthusiasm for both photography, and the Dales area are contagious. He has inspired me to return and explore on my own, and to learn to see the potential in my own local area. He sees opportunities that most would miss or not consider. I hope some of his enthusiasm and unique way of seeing the landscape will rub off on me. Thanks David. All the best and hope to see you again soon.
