Client Testimonials

For various reasons (mainly involving work!) I had fallen out of love with photography. I just didn't have the time needed to feel happy with the outcomes. I am pleased to say that the Lake District course with David has successfully re-awakened my interest; I picked up plenty of tips, the most important being to take greater control of the process. David introduced me to some new techniques as well as helping me to brush up on the many others. If you, like me, feel you are in the photography doldrums, I can fully recommend David to sort you out. Equally, he clearly has the knowledge and experience to help you move forward with your photography, whatever your need.

Thanks so much for the Yorkshire Dales one to one workshop on Saturday, I really enjoyed it. The locations you took us to were superb and the help and advice you offered was excellent. The way the day was split up made it feel like we were there for longer than we really were. I’m just working through my photos now and am really pleased with them. I think we’d both really like to come back up in the Autumn and spend some more time with you doing another workshop. Thanks again for a great workshop and the information you have sent over in the email, will certainly keep in contact and see you later on in the year. Cheers, J Jackson

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!

Well David, I have found time to sit down and thank you for a great day out at Malham in early February. When I say early I also mean early in the morning. The day was absolutely brilliant. You pitched the day just right for my knowledge. I now have more confidence when using my camera on ‘manual’ mode. If anyone wants a great day out learning about landscape photography, book a day with David. All the best David and I hope to share another day with you in the future

David, Many thanks for organising the week long trip to Scotland. How you manage to organise a dry Scotland with blue skies for a whole week in November is a mystery to me but you achieved it. It is a credit to yourself and the dedication you put into preparing your workshops that for such a distant location you were able to take us to ideal spots in the middle of nowhere to take shots of breath taking scenery in both Glencoe and on the Isle of Eigg. This was my 3rd workshop with you and again I appreciated the knowledge and skills you were able to pass on to all of us (as well as the loan of some of your equipment). Not only was it educational from the photography point of view it was also an excellent weeks holiday - well that's how it felt, tiring but great fun. Looking forward to going to the lakes with you in the near future. Phil W

Highly recommended David. I am a complete beginner to photography. David explained the settings on my camera in a way I understood. It was a brilliant day out in the Yorkshire wolds. I got some great photo's and loved every minute of it. Informative, encouraging and inspiring. Thank you, David.

Hi David. Thanks very much for the two day North Yorkshire Coast workshop last weekend. I absolutely loved the weekend. With your help, advice and knowledge, I have hopefully moved on now from someone who only shot photographs in automatic, to someone who is now beginning to understand and explore the real potential of my camera. The photographs I took are stunning and by far and away the best I have ever taken. I now need to practice further all I learnt from you, but recognising there is still more to learn, I will be considering booking another course with you, just waiting for slightly warmer weather!

I have attended two workshops and just completed a series of one to one zoom sessions. Invaluable experience for me and I am 100% sure that anyone wanting to progress their photography, at whatever level, can only benefit enormously from time with David. Always attentive, thorough, patient and of course with a wealth of knowledge and expertise it is a real pleasure to learn with David. First class service. Consistently superb! Thanks David.

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 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!

I did the Northumberland workshop and would like to thank David for the effort he put in to make it work. He delivers essential information in a relaxed style in the field. He loaned me filters and a tripod head so I could learn new techniques and shared his time equally. A great course.
