I joined David for an one to one weekend session studying children's fine art portraits. We spent Saturday photographing models learning lighting set ups, directing, posing amongst other things. Sunday was a whole day editing and learning the technique which gives his photographs their beautiful fine art look, would highly recommend. More...

A fabulous day of photography training with David. The studio was excellently equipped, the model for the day was exceptional both in terms of her posing and how she photographed and the fact that she was fun and friendly to work with was an added bonus. David has honed his craft and his knowledge of lighting and ability to pass that information on is second to none, with follow up notes from the workshop being emailed the following day, which means I can re-read and refer back to them.We were very well looked after with refreshments available all day and with lunch provided too :)Thanks so much for a wonderful day!

English Photoworks is the utmost professional but brings a personable approach to his business that puts his subjects and clients at ease. I had the best shoot of this year so far with David, and I highly recommend anyone who is considering working with him to do so. I received images promptly and am so pleased with them. I plan to work with him again. Thankyou so much David. More...

I booked my course with David with high hopes and was not left disappointed! David is both very knowledgeable and approachable, he happily and patiently answers all questions. He ran us through various light setup, had a professional model for us who needed no direction what so ever and showed us how to edit the shot to achieve his signature look. I learnt loads and had great fun while being looked after nicely. Thanks so much David! More...

I attended this workshop with David and have to say it was amazing. David is very knowledgeable and down to earth. His style is something I admire and hope to replicate to add to my own skills. He also has a great taste in music! Lunch was great too. The studio is warm and comfortable and well equipped. Our model for the day was the wonderful Carla Monaco, David uses some great models for these workshops. The feel was laid back but productive with plenty of time to shoot each set. I would highly recommend this course. Thanks David More...

A Excellent day . David is a good host and made us welcome. The studio is small but adequate and there are enough props to make things interesting. Plenty of time to take photographs and none of the timed slots that can be found with some workshops. The day ended with a demonstration of post production processing. (Lunch was OK too). More...

David did our engagement and wedding photos. In both cases he produced brilliant, highly professional photos. He was fantastic at helping us create the pictures we wanted and was also very good at being unobtrusive and blending into the background when needed during the wedding, whilst still coming up with amazing photos. David is really friendly, very easy going and was great admin related stuff before the wedding too. We'd definitely recommend English Photoworks to everyone who wants beautiful photos that really capture an incredible day. More...

Had the most amazing experience at a fine art shoot for my daughter with David / English Photoworks. David is an extremely talented professional photographer who is passionate about his work. The studio is fabulous and his team were amazing and very friendly, we were made to feel so welcome and completely at ease. The photographs from the shoot are absolutely stunning and although my daughter is a model David managed to bring out a completely different side to her, the images wouldn’t look out of place in Vogue! If you are looking for something special David is the photographer I would highly recommend! Thank you to David / English Photoworks we will definitely be back. More...

I loved David's work when I first discovered it and then realised that he also trains photographers. As a result I've Just completed two fantastic one day workshops with him.

The first was a personalised one to one day and the second a group workshop with two other photographers. I cannot speak highly enough about David's professionalism from initial contact right through to following up after the workshop with all the information promised. These were my first workshops of this kind and David did a great job of putting me at ease and customising the one to one day for my needs. The models he arranged for both days were lovely people and fantastic to work with.

David holds nothing back in sharing how he creates the images that attracted me to his work in the first place. This includes styling, lighting, and his amazing editing skills. My photography has been lifted of the plateau that I was on by a really positive experience. Great guy and money well spent. If you are hesitating just go for it!

Dave is a genius with a camera. We spent a fantastic morning with him, capturing shots as a couple and individually. He's great company, makes the whole thing very easy (especially if you don't take naturally to being in front of a camera), and brought great creative ideas to the session. He also has an excellent selection of props if you're in his studio. We loved the experience and he's given us some fantastic photos. Big thanks to Dave and to Valerie. More...

David is the consummate professional, not only is he a fabulous photographer, but also a great teacher. I came away from Davids workshop with the knowledge required to try to emulate some of his work, however I am not sure I quite have the required skills as yet. David supplies course notes, the presentation itself and also useful editing PS actions and textures. All of this takes place in Davids fabulous studio, full of quality equipment and fantastic props. Throw in a fabulous 3 course lunch, courtesy of Davids wife, and the chance to meet the family of 3 dogs and what more could you ask for. David is a friendly, patient and encouraging teacher and I urge anyone with an interest in this genre of photography to attend. Thanks David and the rest of team Shoukry. More...

My first visit to this wonderful studio today for a workshop. There are not really enough words to describe how marvellous the day was. The venue was perfect, the model more than perfect, the tuition and guidance was clear, instructional and informative and the food was just nom nom nom. If you get chance to do one of the workshops here, I would say do so and you will not be disappointed. The day went far to quick and there was so much more we could have done. But we all left we loads of useful info that we can use and apply to our own images and editing processes. David is certainly the man to go to at his delightful studio if you want a fun day where you will learn lots a bout lighting, photoshop and editing. Thoroughly recommended. Laura Pearce LRPS More...

I attended one of Davids Fine Art Workshops yesterday, as I really liked the style of photography he produces and are always up for learning different techniques to add to my own skillset.

David provides really great communication both prior to the course and afterwards when he gives you some additional information (via download) to reinforce the information received on the day. The day itself was very relaxed, primarily due to Davids teaching style, and flows seemlessly from one set to the next.

We had a great model which was perfect for the look we wanted to achieve and the day flew by! Everyone had ample opportunity to shoot numerous times, including changing props (of which there are many) during the lighting sets.

Overall I had a superb day, learnt lots and most of all came away with both knowledge and more than a few good pics! Cant recommend this enough to people looking to emulate this style.

Great meeting you David and thanks again.

Excellent! - I attended a workshop run by David at the weekend. Directions were good and the workshop started on time. Although I have considerably less experience than the other attendees David‘s approach made me feel at ease and confident. The workshop was well organised and the pace was just right. He readily imparts the skills and knowledge he has acquired as a professional to help develop the participants. The model, Olivia, was excellent and very easy to work with and I came away with some great photos.
For me the 6 hour workshop was quite inspirational and I feel it will make a difference to my approach.
I would recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to learn and have practical experience of fine art/low key photography.

I attended a workshop at David’s studio with a view to gain a better understanding of studio lighting techniques. I can honestly say I came away with this and so much more!

David and his wife were fantastic, polite hosts and provided a delicious lunch and non stop beverages. The studio is immaculate and David has put a lot of time and effort into developing a style that is easy to re-create and gives fantastic results every time. The equipment is great and the tuition style laid back and informative. The choice of model (Olivia Harriet) was perfect. She was a delight to work with, posing was perfect every time, she had an array of outfits and she simply brightens up a room when she works.

Value for money I have zero complaints, when you consider the cost of booking a model for half a day and then add in the tuition, studio hire, food and the equipment cost this workshop is an absolute steal!

I hope to work with David again in the future and can not recommend this course enough.
