"A hugely enjoyable week in beautiful surroundings and thanks to Don’s skills and patience, I have completely rethought my approach to photography when both taking and editing photographs.  Don and Trisha made us very welcome and the food and accommodation were second to none.  I can thoroughly recommend the Hero course to anyone."  Sue B - October 2022

"My week at Studio Lavalette has been really great. I have learned so much about photogaphy from Don's teaching, demonstrations, guidance and expeditions; my enthusiasm has been rekindled.  The Studio is an ideal place to learn about photography but also enjoy Trisha and Don's hospitality.  Trisha's food has been fantastic and the accommodation is spacious and luxurious.  I came away feeling like a family friend."  Ian W - April 2019
