David C. Turnley
Testimonials
“David Turnley has taught me how to think in pictures, how to seek discipline and yet freedom as a shooter, and how to click when the soul of our human family is revealed. A quiet man, with a powerful mind, he is a patient and inspiring teacher. He will point you toward greatness”
- Ann Curry - Anchor, NBC News
“On day 1 of the David Turnley workshop, I stopped taking pictures and began making photographs that surprised no one more than myself. David taught me how to tell stories with my camera and I learned that photography is less about lenses and more about relationships. What’s amazing is how someone so accomplished as David can also be so sensitive and so humble. I’ll take another David Turnley workshop as soon as my schedule allows.”

"I participated in the first workshop in Cape Town, South Africa with David Turnley. The axiom, that we don't take pictures, we make photographs has altered my approach to photography. I associate the subject and its environment in a more simple and direct format now. David challenged me, both physically and artistically to not give up but keep looking for the next perfect shot, different angles and different layers of possibility in each daily assignment. He brought out my buddy talent that I can see today how it has matured through taking this workshop. For me, each day was a new and exciting challenge that I'm very grateful to have had."
