Thank you Damien!

I participated in one of Damien’s London street photography workshops. Communication from Damien for the day was clear and timely. On the workshop he took time to find out what we were hoping to get from the day, shared lots of very useful tips as the day progressed and ended the session with a very useful image debrief before we parted. He has a vast experience of all things photography and a keenness to share his knowledge in a very accessible practical way. I would recommend him highly!

I attended a “Street Photography “ presentation by Damien, organised by my local camera shop. It was pitched just right and fired my imagination so that this has become my favourite genre. Damien changed my whole outlook on equipment and challenged long held prejudices. downsized to the M43 format which has transformed my photography. I now fit all my gear in one small bag and consequently take many more photos. I guess that is the whole point really!

I have been on a number of courses with Damien and fully recommend that everyone will be confident that they receive excellent value for money. Damien takes his time with all students both individually and as a group to give the best street experience. I learned firsthand about the effects of light and shade on my photography. He exudes friendly professionalism at all times.

I have known Damien since 2021. During that time Damien has had a positive impact on my journey as a photographer. His support, and expertise have significantly elevated my skills and deepened my understanding of photography.

Damien gave Lowestoft Photographic Club a very informative and entertaining presentation on street photography in December 2024. Club members thought the evening event was presented by a very capable professional presenter and photographer.

I spent a day with Damien on a Panasonic LUMIX organised Street Photography event.
Damien explained his experience and approach to street photography, the range of equipment and then out into the streets for practical work.
His advice and methods helped in getting great images plus the confidence to get amongst people and take the shot.
A great day 5 experience.

I’ve attended several events that Damien has run, both online and in person, teaching photography & also camera know how. I’ve also heard him speak at camera clubs. He is a great teacher, willing to spend time making sure you’ve understood what’s being discussed. He has an extensive knowledge of all aspects of photography and is generous in sharing his skills. Damien is a good communicator with a sense of humour, which makes learning a pleasure.

I’ve been on several workshops with Damien and learnt loads. He has an easygoing approach to photography and does not overload you with technical stuff, though if you want that he will provide it for you.
He is a great communicator and has a good sense of fun.
If you want to know more about Street, architectural or landscape photography I highly recommend Damien.

Damien has a wealth of knowledge and passion for his subject. He has an amazing eye when capturing shots. Not only is he an amazing photographer, journalist and teacher he's also a wonderful person with a very healthy sense of humour. I'd highly recommend Damien as a tutor. Not only do you feel you've learn something you also go away feeling a million dollars.

2016 a group of us spent a pleasant few hours with Damien in Bath. Sponsored by LUMIX/Panasonic. It was really enjoyable and we had cameras to try out. A bit of wandering around the streets of Bath including some tutoring. Great day. Would go again.
