As a former senior lecturer at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College for many years, and being responsible for the colleges PR photography, David has extensive experience of teaching photography and of sharing his knowledge of photography and photographic technique with those new to photography or looking to expand their experience.
David Turner offers a number of courses which are run on a one-to-one basis.
The content of each course can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
Courses can be scheduled at times to suit you, including weekends.

Aimed at first time users and buyers of digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras or advanced bridge cameras, who are looking to increase their understanding of photography and its terminology, along with hands-on guidance in getting the best from their cameras.
Lenses, apertures, ISO numbers, colour temperatures, shutter speeds, light metering systems, exposure compensation, program modes ... answering those "How do I ..." questions about your camera, and taking the guesswork out of using it.
Much of the day is spent in discussion of how systems work and how they have evolved. Some practical work is done and students leave with a project to work on if they wish.
Course Fee £140 Individual tuition
This, our entry level studio course, is for students with some experience of digital SLR cameras or advanced bridge cameras who want to try more controlled studio photography.
The course covers working in a studio enviroment, safely using flash equipment, measuring exposure using flash meters, and designing the lighting for an image, along with the opportunity for you to take your own pictures through the day as a number of lighting techniques are demonstrated.
You can find more information about the course and its content on our Short Course in Studio Lighting page.
Course Fee £140 Individual tuition
This course is for those interested in fine art photography and constructed images.
Depending on your needs, the course looks at working in spaces from the kitchen table to a small studio enviroment, tuning the composition of your image, using light sources from window light to studio flash equipment with both bought and improvised reflectors and other light modifiers to shape the lighting for your final image.
The photographic techniques taught on this course will vary from student to student, but will be aimed at helping you develop your own personal style and confidence in using your equipment.
Because of the bespoke nature of this course, and the personal nature of the images produced, it is suggested that you speak with David on 01494 483887 to discuss your requirements before booking
Course Fee £140 Individual tuition
Want to do your own pack shot and product photography for your web site or catalogues? Then this course is aimed at you.
We are happy to show you how to take better advertising and product photographs.
We can offer general digital product photography courses, which cover composition and lighting techniques, the technical aspects of photography (exposure, depth of field) and what to do with the images once you have downloaded them from the camera (image processing in Photoshop, using images for both web and print).
Any teaching is customised to individual clients requirements, so can include specialist aspects such as colour management, if required.
Depending on your needs, the course can be run at your premises or at our studio in Stokenchurch.
Whilst we can bring along an impressive array of equipment to show what can be done, we find it much better to help people get the best out of their own set-up.
We are also happy to advise you on cameras and other equipment for product photography - although we do not actually supply such items ourselves.
Because of the bespoke nature of this course, it is essential that you contact David on 01494 483887 and discuss your requirements before booking

Spot on. The one to one was a definite plus. Relaxed atmosphere where we could learn what was needed and take the pictures we wanted. Exactly what I was hoping for.

It was all good, technically easy to follow. I felt comfortable asking any questions I had. I always want to take pictures. The course was a present, and I'm told it was very good value for money.
