Testimonials

Paul Christie, visitor at Festival of Outdoor Photography:

“I was very impressed by the event. I had originally signed up because of the number of wildlife photographers contributing, but also attended a number of the other talks and seminars and feel that my photographic horizons were significantly broadened and I intend to have a go at astrophotography and go back to some street photography that I haven’t done for some years.

Tesni Ward and Andrew Fusek Peters were exceptional speakers. I gained so much from their talks and their seminars in the Sunley room. They were both inspirational and very generous with all their experience and knowledge. In fact, I hope to do a 1-2-1 workshop with Tesni and have since been in touch with Andrew to order his latest book.

I would also like to thank all the AP staff who were so welcoming and helpful throughout the three days. I am sure it must have been a challenge putting on the event for the first time and I think you all did a great job.”
