PROFESSIONAL TUITION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY ENTHUSIASTS
HAVE YOU HIT A CREATIVE WALL?
A SIMPLE METHOD THAT SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM.
OVER 40 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE
COGNITIVE VISION
FAST-TRACK YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY USING SCIENCE-BASED PRINCIPLES.
Cognitive Vision is an innovative photography approach rooted in the science of human perception, which bypasses superficial photography rules and subjective opinions. – Every day, we instinctively perceive, process, and respond to visual information to navigate the world around us. By understanding the perception process, we establish clear, creative guidelines for making images. – Understanding “How pictures work” tells us how to “Make pictures that work”. Fundamental principles that you apply to any subject. Cognitive Vision defines how you see, think, and create visually, from concept to print. A simple, repeatable, artistic workflow that reduces your stress and confusion from photography, which allows for greater creative satisfaction, enjoyment and quality. – It’s “Visual Knowledge” that improves your photography.
IT’S THE KNOWLEDGE BEHIND PHOTOGRAPHY – THAT MAKES GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY
A SIMPLE 3-STEP CREATIVE PROCESS.
When you photograph, ask: What is my subject? What do I want to say about it? How am I going to say it visually?
I teach you how to see, think and create visually. First, we cover ‘The Visual Principles’ for ‘How pictures work’, then ‘The Artistic Principles’ to ‘Make pictures that work’. The knowledge behind picture-making.
How to apply this knowledge at the photography stage, so that you can previsualise the picture you want to create, and then capture all the components in the highest quality data for technical perfection.
How to apply this knowledge at the editing stage to create your personal artistic interpretation of the scene. You create a unique artwork that has something to say in your own style and “Voice”.
YOU CREATE PHOTOGRAPHY IN YOUR OWN STYLE THAT STANDS OUT.
THE MODERN PROCESS PROFESSIONALS USE TO BE CREATIVE.
PROVEN BY SCIENCE TO WORK.
WHERE SCIENCE MEETS ART.
I teach based on scientific facts. Personal opinions can be wrong, but scientific facts aren’t – that’s why my tuition instantly improves your photography. – ‘Visual Attention Software’ predicts where viewers look at first glance. My intention is for you to look at the orange-lit doorway. The heatmap proves this happens. Science underpins my tuition and delivers provable, real-life benefits and improvement.
This isn’t just another “Photoshop course”. Visual Knowledge governs every stage of photography:
- Critiquing your own photography to self-diagnose what’s weak or missing.
- Use the knowledge to decide if what you’re looking at will make a good photograph.
- The knowledge underpins the entire production process from the camera to post-production.
This is a genuinely unique approach to teaching photography; it covers the core fundamentals that few others teach, without dictating a specific style or “Voice”. – My knowledge gives you a clear and logical, structured process to follow for creating engaging photography, and – it’s all guaranteed by science.
HAS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY HIT A CREATIVE WALL?
Has your mind ever gone blank? – You look at a scene but don’t know what to do. You know it’s a picture, but how? You look at your images and you know that there’s “something” missing; they have no spark or “wow” factor. They look like everyone else’s. It’s stressful and frustrating because you don’t know what to do about it or how to solve the problem. – It ruins your creative satisfaction and enjoyment of photography.
The solution is “Visual Knowledge”. It bridges the void between your camera and the photos you create. Cameras record, people create. Visual knowledge tells you what to do, what’s missing in your pictures and how to solve the problem. It removes your stress and frustration. – It puts you in control of the photo, not the camera. The wall has a door, and “Visual Knowledge” is the key. – Knowledge takes you to the next level.
PHOTOGRAPH THE ORDINARY. CREATE THE EXTRAORDINARY.
COGNITIVE VISION COVERS TWO FORMS OF VISUAL KNOWLEDGE
VISUAL PRINCIPLES EXPLAIN HOW PICTURES WORK.
ARTISTIC KNOWLEDGE MAKES PICTURES THAT WORK.
A SIMPLE PLAN WITH RADICAL RESULTS.

Hi David,
One of the most valuable things I did in my Photography journey was spending time with you. – Since then, I have always adapted your methods to my Photography and last November 2023, I was awarded International Photographer of the Year – in the People section, and, much more importantly, I won the Lucie Award as a non-professional photographer.
So, thank you, David. I hope you are fine. My best regards.

COGNITIVE VISION IS THE VISUAL KNOWLEDGE BEHIND GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY.
TRYING TO BE GOOD AT PHOTOGRAPHY WITHOUT “VISUAL KNOWLEDGE“
IS LIKE TRYING TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT AN ENGINE.
VISUAL KNOWLEDGE IS THE ENGINE BEHIND GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY – NOT YOUR CAMERA.
WHY NOT MAKE A FRESH START?
Photography and Photoshop can be learned anywhere – but, “Visual Knowledge” can’t. Teaching “Visual Knowledge” is my speciality. I teach photographers, from complete beginners to advanced enthusiasts, how to create good photography and develop a unique style. Workshops are one-to-one tuition, online and in-person, drawing on 40 years of professional experience as a working photographer. – Workshops cover my entire workflow, step by step, where I teach you the Visual Principles and Artistic Knowledge first, then the Photography and Photoshop.
THE MODERN PROCESS PROFESSIONALS USE TO BE CREATIVE.
LEARN TECHNIQUES NOT FOUND ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THE ART OF TONAL PAINTING,
REMBRANDT LIGHT, AND CHIAROSCURO.
A “Voice” means having something to say, and the Artistic Knowledge to say it in your own unique way.
My “Voice” reflects my passion for old master paintings; yours will be different because we’re different people, but
– The underlying “Visual Knowledge” to create your style and “Voice” is the same process for everyone.
THE KEY TO CREATIVITY IS: THINK OUTSIDE “THE BOX”. I TEACH YOU HOW.
40+ YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Why risk your time and money on inexperienced tutors when you can learn from a professional with over 40 years of proven experience, and more than a decade of teaching, plus a sense of humour? – I’m semi-retired by choice. This means opportunities are genuinely limited. – I only run two full workshops a month, from February to November – only 20 Photographers Worldwide Each Year can enrol for my full workshop.
