I am lucky enough to have had the opportunity to see / hear your camera club talks and as such when I saw the description of the content of this course I felt sure that I would learn more from it. I was pleased to be introduced to tools and 'add ons' to PS such as TK7. I started my Photoshop learning in earnest at the beginning of 2020 and I am at the stage of developing a sustainable workflow. There are some components of PS that I am aware of but do not yet have sufficient knowledge of that aren't in this particular course in detail such as gradients, luminosity masks, frequency separation but I appreciate that the course is designed to show me your workflow and from that pick up information that would be useful to me. The 'workup' sections were particularly useful.

I take 1,000s of shots on my gig shoots so your workflow & selection process are really useful - it will help me save time. Your techniques will also help me add impact on key but often cluttered images & I like the fact that I can go at my own pace & refer back to topics. I love printing, so the print section is helpful too. Now thinking of getting TK Action Panel and Nik.

All aspects of this workflow and processing instruction are very comprehensive and extremely easy to understand. Breaking the instruction down into manageable chunks makes following the program very easy to achieve. Very importantly, the difference the processing tips make to the finished output is immense.The course 100% fulfilled my expectations.

I don't enter many competitions so the main benefit for me is the workflow aspects - which have proved very useful. I will continue to use the course material as a reference point & I would recommend it to a friend.

Fantastic course in bite size chunks that are easy to follow and easy to implement. Worth every penny.

The course 100% fulfilled my expectations.

Zoom delivery worked very well.  Perfect to reach a larger audience without the travel.  Great for me because I was learning something new, but in my own environment, so I could concentrate on the subject at hand. Enjoyed seeing the boxing work up, especially the hand and eye areas.  So useful to see where the image began and the stages it went through to the end.  The part that has stayed with me is having an image/idea in your mind to work to.  Loved it all! The workshop 100% fulfilled my expectations.

I’ve seen many workshops but none as well laid out as this. I can easily get bored but not today.  I rarely use PS doing most of my work in LR but this will encourage me to try it more. Particularly with the TK Action panel. An excellent day, well set out and executed - it 100% fulfilled my expectations.

I really enjoyed the day. There was a lot of information given but it was covered well & the timing was very good for the vast amount of technical information covered on the day. The workshop 100% fulfilled my expectations.

I have managed to speak to many of the members who attended on Saturday and have heard nothing but praise both for the presentation and content of the workshop. Comments received were; excellent, very good, very inspirational, brilliant, great day, very professional. Some expanded their answers with; really enjoyed it, first class information, interesting, learned something, motivated me to develop my skills, stimulated my interest, well organised, good value for money, not precious with your knowledge, the USB stick alone is worth the attendance fee. One member has used her knowledge to improve an image for our PDI comp next Monday. Another is going to upgrade his computer to be able to use CC. Some have had time to view the videos and are very impressed. One asked if you could do a lecture to the students at Lincoln Uni - the 3 students all enjoyed the day.

Thank you so much for this day, a comprehensive and professional presentation I would recommend to anybody whether or not success in photographic competitions is the aim.

Please say thank you to Marlies.

All the best and looking forward to seeing you again in the future.

It makes a change for a photographer to share their workflow and show others how images are produced - most want to hang on to their "secrets". I didn’t know about the TK Action panel. I will be downloading this! A very professional and enjoyable presentation that 100% met my expectations.

The range and extent of the topics and materials covered was incredible and excellent value. I am going to talk to the college about booking you for the degree programme if that would be possible. My only criticism is that the PDF's cant easily be printed because of the amount of solid colour slides which makes it impractical to print.
Overall one of the most interesting and informative workshops I have ever been too and I can't quite believe how much time and effort you have clearly put in to deliver this material.

From a previous presentation given by David to Newark Photographic Society I was expecting the workshop to be highly organised and informative and it met all my expectations and more, thank you. The workshop 100% fulfilled my expectations.

Intermediate photographer with 5 to 10 years experience

Very informative and well presented. 100% fulfilled my expectations.

I have now watched a few of the videos - really excellent in giving the full details of how you work, so I could replicate it.  Hence 100% recommended.

Undoubtedly the best photographic workshop I have attended.

I had a clear understanding of what would be covered in the day from the materials I had been sent. David created a very positive learning environment by welcoming questions and adapting the pace and material covered to my needs. The work we did on the day has had an immediate impact on the way I approach my photographic projects, the process of selecting and cataloguing the best images and the detail and precision with which I craft my images to achieve maximum impact. I learnt something new from each part of the day. The structure and content of the workshop reflected David's photographic workflow and this reinforced the learning that took place. 100% recommended.

WOW! I got so much from this day. Previously I've seen editing as an onerous chore but I will definitely be looking to move to Lightroom & Photoshop for my editing. Great library system and methodical means of editing my photos. Facilities were lovely and very comfortable - we were well looked after. David was very approachable, no question was too silly and answers were meaningful. David obviously loves creating great images and passing on his knowledge of how to do this. Thank you for a great day! 100% recommended.

I can't fault any aspects of the workshop, everything was explained with skill and patience. The introduction to LR , I think will convert me. The boxing photo approach and methodology totally stunning & diving images again inspiring. 100% recommended!

I found the the day very interesting and most helpful. I learnt a lot and have come away with so much inspiration to get better and to try to become an image maker like you. As you know we specialise in nature and there’s little we can do to change things, but we can make the main subject stand out more so one gets 4/5 each time. I went to the Patchings NEMPF Exhibition yesterday and I’ve now started to look at photographs in a different light all because of the day with you. We had a great day and loved every minute of it!

Found isolating the subject very interesting and think it will be helpful in nature. Quite a lot to take in as I’ve never used Lightroom before but I can see the benefits.

What you have achieved here is a distillation of several years of contemplation, analysis and success into a single clear session.  If people want to be successful in this game then you have done all the hard thinking for them.  It may not be a silver bullet, but it is a clear roadmap to success.
