Jan Harris is the Programme Secretary at Bromsgrove PS and also a scuba diver - so she has a particular interest in underwater photography. When I delivered a Zoom lecture on my sports photography for them during lockdown Jan noticed I was an underwater photographer and asked me if I’d be interested in doing a special lecture for them for which they’d sell tickets. Needless to say I didn’t hesitate to accept - I love talking about my underwater adventures!

The lecture took place last week and was attended by around 50 people. I combined the best bits of my three current underwater lectures into two one-hour sessions - you can watch a taster video here.

The audience were fantastic and judging by the feedback enjoyed it. You can read all the feedback here but here’s a few snippets;

• A truly remarkable and enjoyable presentation by David. Superb photography and video which provided a real insight into the lengths that he and Libby go to, to produce such high quality work.

• David’s presentation was spectacular in every way.  It was great to see video of how he achieved some of his images.  You almost felt you were experiencing his trips with him.

• What a superb evening, David's photographs and video footage were stunning. His commentary took us through his incredible journeys and was captivating. 

• I thoroughly enjoyed last nights event - it was fascinating to see the world that exist in our oceans. The images were dramatic, well composed and pin sharp with wonderful lighting that brought out the colours beautifully. Telling us how he got the images was honest and candid of him. Some photographers prefer to keep the so 'called tricks of the trade' to themselves. Thank you for sharing David.

Thank you for the invite Jan - I enjoyed every minute!
