About me and EASY Photography

I'm Dave Farmer and I own EASY Photography which is an organisation that enables me to teach photographers  how to improve their level of expertise.

I have been a photographer for many years and, like most other people, my formative years were spent taking family snaps of anything and anyone without having any understanding of what to do with my camera apart from pointing it at a subject and pressing the shutter button to take a photo.

About 10 years ago I decided to  improve my photography skills and purchased an entry level DSLR camera. Since then I've worked hard and raised my level of expertise to the high level it's at now. I read all the books. I camped out on youtube. I reached out for any other information I thought would help me. What I realised was that the level of expertise in photography tuition was and remains pretty low in many cases. Fortunately, I came across the perfect mentor who saved my photography career with his excellent teaching. Suddenly everything became clear and straightforward.   I ditched my other learning materials and I applied myself to constant practice to become an "in the field" photographer. Being out there where the action is teaches you how to become an accomplished photographer far better than books and videos ever will.

I decided my photography ambition was to also be a teacher using new methods and a simpler approach and to be able to  pass on my knowledge to as many photographers as possible. Hence the birth of EASY Photography.

I have had my work published online

I have helped thousands of photographers in several online photographic groups. I've seen just about every problem that someone could come across and I've been able to offer appropriate solutions to those problems. In addition to the straight answer required, I provide extensive and educative background information that enables photographers to think things through in the field so that in future they can work out solutions to problems on the spot. I don't just say "do this or that". I explain how "this or that" works and what all the pros and cons are.

I have mentored many people in many countries using video call software. Happily, all those people improved their level of expertise - many by leaps and bounds.

I am the official photographer to a Peregrine Falcon protection project run by a wildlife trust.

I am a "Group expert" on one of the largest online photographic groups.

As you will have seen from the home page, I've made it my goal to remove many of the unnecessary complications that abound in photography and replace them with EASY alternatives.

I teach using a conversational style that's EASY to understand.
