Our club recently had a talk by David Garthwaite on his Fine Art Workflow. The talk went into the details of how he uses Photoshop to create a Black and White version of his initial image and bring out the detail in a subtle and imaginative way. Our members really enjoyed the talk and felt inspired to try out the techniques that had been demonstrated - the post-talk resources were also much appreciated. This is a great talk for anyone interested in Photoshop techniques that can transform an everyday image into a fine art masterpiece. Highly recommended.

Last week Witney Photo Group were treated to a masterclass by David Garthwaite entitled 'Fine Art: A Workflow'. David took us through the techniques he uses to create his incredible images. Even the more seasoned PS users in our group learned something new. Highly recommended.

Dunfermline Photographic Association enjoyed David's Fine Art presentation on 1/3/22. It was outstanding; Informative and stimulating . A "must-see " Recording is allowed so members can work through the techniques at their own pace. Complex at times but with a stunning end product. Incredible value for money.

David Gave a talk via Zoom last night to the members of Pinner Camera Club. All of us found his talk both fascinating and educational. This was apparent not only by the comments made at the end of his presentation but also by those left in the "chat" box on Zoom. He left us with a great deal to think about as to how we can improve our own images and I expect to see the results of this in our competitions over the coming months. Thank you David again for an excellent evening.

I should like to thank David for his presentation last night. Members were extremely complimentary after he left the virtual room, and with good reason. It can’t be easy to present and make adjustments in photoshop at the same time, but he carried it off fluently, and made a complex subject both understandable and enjoyable. A bravura performance ! Again many thanks.

ELLON PHOTOGRAPHIC GROUP Is it the black art or fine art, that is the question..We were treated to a fascinating presentation by David Garthwaitye. a Leeds based photographer . His session took us through his workflow on what was an exceptional architecture shot. David has only had a DSLR for 4 years but is producing amazing image. His skills with Photoshop are brilliant.

Dave gave a terrific tutorial to Maidenhead Camera Club on 18 January. He took us through the stages of how he plans, executes and then edits his stunning architectural images, transforming the ordinary into something spectacular in a stepwise process using Photoshop. I highly recommend Dave’s talk, even if you have no interest in applying the techniques he used; it’s worth it just to see what can be achieved with expertise and patience.

David talk to Maidenhead Camera Club recently was excellent. He methodically went through his work flow explaining each step on the way and very easy to understand pace. The sharing of a Photoshop action and image along with a hints sheet following the meeting adds to the quality of the talk Thank David for great talk

Kingsbridge and District Camera Club last night had a presentation from Leeds-based photographer David Garthwaite that was both inspirational and informative -- "Fine Art: A Workflow". The talk was very well-structured: a short video of beautiful and dramatic key B&W images (to whet the audience’s interest) was followed by a a detailed step-by-step tutorial leading us from the original RAW image (or two, in last night’s case) to the finished image, and then the talk was rounded off with some helpful things to consider if we wish to create such an arresting visual style for ourselves. As with all clubs, I’m sure, we have members with a wide range of skills, equipment and software (both photographic and post-processing) and it’s hard to keep them all interested and learning — but I think David did! One member even posted an image she'd re-edited using some of David's techniques less than two hours after the talk...
