A Most Excellent Course

I’ve just completed the Book Cover course and once again it was up there with Dave’s excellent standards. The skills I learned can be used on a variety of genres and there were several ‘light bulb’ moments. The training experience was friendly, at my level and I came away with a renewed vigour for all things Photoshop.

The best bespoke Photoshop training ever!

I have just completed my book covers training with Dave and what a revelation it was!

Dave started by making sure that I had all the core skills needed in Lightroom and Photoshop to enable him to lead me down the many dark alleys in Photoshop, that I did not know even existed.

The training, whist challenging the brain at times, was always delivered in Dave’s inimitable style which made the experience rewarding and enjoyable at the same time. Of course, it was always tailored to me and my skill level, never a “one size fits all”.

I now have so many new skills to hone (and of course weird props to experiment with!) to keep me busy for weeks.

Thank you, Dave, for giving me the tools to enable me to move my business on.

Secrets To Book Cover Retouching Course

Personal Endorsement

I am now coming up to my final lesson & I can honestly say that this course is by far and away the finest and most in-depth instruction that I have ever experienced - bar none!

Dave’s knowledge is unrivalled, I thought I was pretty good but, time & time again, he’s left me dumbfounded!

The entire course is nothing short of turbo-charged creativity and despite the intensity (and intense it most certainly is - it’s definitely the most intensive photoshop training anywhere!) Dave somehow keeps it all light hearted and enjoyable.

To be absolutely honest, I’ve finished each session utterly exhilarated and seriously motivated! Not least because my workflow has now been sped up by orders of magnitude ……. Composites that used to take me hours, if not days, are now done in minutes; with far better quality & depth - this is a really big deal and I still can’t quite believe it.

Dave’s great strength is that he can tailor everything to YOUR personal skill set, needs & requirements ……. you simply can’t get that from book, an online class or local college course - not even close - I’ve tried it all but I have never experienced a learning curve like this.

Bottom line, this course has utterly transformed what, how & where I shoot and then how, why & how fast I edit.

If you really want to learn and make a profound change to your photography - Dave Wall is the way to get there.

Thanks mate 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Comprehensive and well delivered training!

There's a lot of training out there and much of it falls short of expectations! Not so Dave Wall Photo Training. I spent six sessions learning about book cover photography which was covered comprehensively in an easy to digest manner and delivered with knowledge, with a little fun thrown in for good measure. Worth the time and fee. Thanks, Dave!

2 days of incredible training

Two days of incredible high content training on exploiting the business opportunity that is stock photography. With a true expert who doesn’t use jargon and explains everything really well, and answers every question (no bs). Could not recommend Dave more.

I travelled to him, and we spent two intense but relaxed days huddled around his computer going through excellently prepared and very detailed learning material. Supplied with bottomless tea/coffee. I have so many notes. I now have a deep understanding of the subject and practical steps I can, and absolutely will, take to improve my business and earn money.

I’d previously seen Dave train on Lightroom - he is an absolute expert also on that - and know that in learning from him I am hearing from someone who actually not only has been there / done that, but more importantly someone who is still there / doing that and therefore is entirely up to date and relevant.

After a few decades of photography training of many types, this is the best and most useful business related training I have ever had. Dave is not expensive, but I don’t care about what I spent anyway as I will make plenty as a result of these days. An excellent investment.

Your kind review is EXACTLY why I do what I do !!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Hands down, the online stock photography course with Dave was quite simply the best online training I have ever done!

Thank you, Dave! You are an incredible educator who is not only full to the brim with knowledge and advice but is also a motivator and mentor. It was like training in person! I loved how the course was split into manageable sessions as you made it so easy to see how I could, moving forward, plan and implement. In addition, your technical knowledge combined with business bridged the gap beautifully. I seriously loved every session. So if anyone reading this is thinking about training with Dave, I would say it's a no-brainer as it will be money well spent. Once again, THANK YOU!

If your thinking of training with Dave.. JUST DO IT!

What can I say about Dave other than he is truly amazing at what he does. I did the on-line stock photography course and just wow!

The information, detail and knowledge is phenomenal and I know if I do the work and put it all into place I am going to more than earn the cost back (I will even go as far to say as this course could be in the thousands and still be worth every penny).

The course is packed with all the information you need, and as its broken down into several sessions you have the perfect amount of time to process it all.

I have already started with the knowledge and excited to expand my business into this area.

Amazing Training on Stock Photography

This is the second time I’ve done face to face training with Dave and I was not disappointed. His friendly approach, knowledge and delivery of the subjects he covers is excellent and I came away with a renewed motivation for photography.

The course; Stock Photography covers the pros and cons of this area and made me realize that all my images have value. I have confidence that my images can sell in a number of areas and even after day one I went out to photograph and my view to shooting images changed for the better.

Even the legal and ‘housekeeping’ side of it was delivered in a way that was understandable and not heavy. A course and trainer I recommend highly.

Stock Photography Training - Exactly what I needed.

I have recently completed Dave's Stock Photography Training Course.

It was exactly what I needed.

Having started knowing nothing about Stock, I have finished the training feeling completely confident to venture into the sector and make it a profitable part of my business.

Dave makes the sessions fun and entertaining, and is happy to answer as many questions as you need help with.

I would very highly recommend.

You learn a lot and have a giggle along the way.

I’ve attended numerous talks by Dave over the years and always come away with huge amounts of notes to go back and practice with. Dave is a very effective and highly knowledgeable communicator and you’ll leave with a smile.

‘an arsenal of techniques‘

Been to Dave studio a few times for 1-2-1’s, every time you come away with an arsenal of techniques that dramatically improve my post production.
If you are in photography and want to invest in yourself and your skills going forward, there is no better place to go, worth every penny!

Dave trained a group of us in Lightroom…

Dave trained a group of us in Lightroom and showed us a range of techniques which came as news to all or most of us. He really knows how to get the best from our images, and he delivers with humour and style. Very inclusive and open to questions, patient with the slower or less knowledgable participants. Great guy.

Dave is an awesome trainer

Dave is an awesome trainer, i had a 121 with him yesterday and travelled to his training cube to spend a fab day learning. What he doesn't know about the software isn't worth knowing. Dave adapts his training to what you need from questioning and listening to you. I am a relative beginner in some of the software and i now feel confident to use all the basics and the little tips to speed things up as well as developing some key specific steps that will help our new venture. Amazingly supportive discussion and training. Couldn't recommend highly enough and will definitely be back for more. Banters great as well, really down to earth guy. Thanks Dave.

Photoshop training at it's best - Excellent (& amusing) delivery of quality content

A lot of people know a lot about Photoshop... However, I've never seen anyone as good at delivering content in an understandable way as Dave.

With a friendly, approachable and amusing style of delivery with the ability to break down concepts into manageable and understandable chunks, Dave is a joy to listen to. He is able to not only teach how to do something, he excels at explaining clearly and concisely WHY you should be doing it. This is a huge bonus as you can then apply the concepts and tools to any image you're working on.

Highly recommended!
