“ The Available Light Portraits By Daylight was an excellent blend of considerations needed for outdoor portrait photography - light, composition, exposure manipulation and directing a model. With enough technical discussion to feel in control of what we were doing, but a good focus from there on available light and composition, to focus on taking great photos. Highly recommended. Thanks David. Dan Abbott ”

“ This was an excellent evening - we covered a lot of ground and David is a great teacher. He started with the basics and then, leading us through lots of practical exercises to illustrate points, built on these basics in a way that was both logical and intuitive. I've always shied away from using flash, but by the end of this evening I felt I had a good grasp of the use of flash lighting and the possibilities it offers. I also appreciated the notes to take away. Thank you, David - I will definitely sign up for some more of your sessions while I'm in town! ”

“ I've attended three of David's workshops and have learnt so much from all three. The flash lighting I & II were fantastic in that the concepts are introduced and then applied straight away in practical exercises. I had only just bought my speed light but David explained everything so well that I am now much more confident in my new skills.! I also attended the daylight portraits by natural light and David's explanations of looking for light, composition and framing are great. All in all, David is a patient teacher and explains concepts really well and then puts them straight into practice. Great value for money. ”

“ David runs a very informative evening answers all questions clearly I enjoyed the fact the group was kept to max of 4 attendees. David understands the topic and conveys it to each student with lots of patience. I was lucky enough to use one of David's spare speedlites on the night as I have not purchased one as yet, know I can purchase with confidence. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to discover the correct procedures for flash photography. regards John ”

“ Absolutely excellent! David reads up on everyone's flashes beforehand so no stone is left unturned. He is a fantastic teacher - I didn't think so many things could 'click' with regards to understanding flash and lighting in just two hours - and he goes the extra mile (I had the unbelievable luck of my speedlight actually breaking at the hot shoe at the very beginning of the class: David luckily had the spare and even did research after the workshop as to how I could go about fixing it / getting a replacement part). Many thanks, I will definitely be signing up for another of his workshops very soon. ”
— Michelle M. on Oct 16, 2014.

“ Well structured evening, the exercises were ideal to come to grips with how the mix of ambient and flash light affects the outcome. Learned heaps, discovered some functions I never knew existed and put them into practice. If you're on the fence about going to this workshop - do it! you'll find it cash well spent. ”
