"Being such a highly regarded and world class photographer I wasn't sure what to expect from the evening but having seen others over the years expected it to be two hours of 'look at my lovely pictures”. Far from it, his talk was informative, interesting and full of useful tips for us mere mortals and to include pictures from other famous photographers gave a wide "perspective" to his message. Great stuff. "

"Just a quick note to say I really enjoyed Charlie Waite's presentation on Tuesday. I thought he struck a really good balance between his own images and speaking about those which had influenced him. It was also very refreshing to see how open he was about his own techniques and happy to share his "secrets". I appreciated that he was comfortable with sharing his own images and criticising some of them - he is obviously very highly critical of himself, and I guess that is part of what has got him where he is today.

"I was at the Charlie Waite talk last night and wanted to say I really enjoyed it and I'm glad you arranged and brought this to Aberdeen. The talk made me appreciate shapes and light even further and think more about my own photography. - "

"Many thanks for organising such a great event. It’s fantastic to have such an eminent photographer as Charlie Waite come to Aberdeen to speak, and an eloquent, thought provoking and inspiring speaker he is. I came away with a better understanding of composition and of course the importance of light and shade. It must be a signifiant amount of work for you but it is very much appreciated. "

"Just to say a massive thank you for organising the evening with Charlie – truly the most inspirational and informative photographic talk I’ve attended, and he seemed such a genuine and gracious man. As a current student at Gray’s – it felt like a semester’s worth of lecture material in 2-3 hours, and in a really engaging style. Thanks again."

"Congratulations on a superb evening last night. Everyone I have spoken to said how special it was and, therefore, how much they had enjoyed it. Many of the points he made will affect people’s perspective on what they do and how they do it. For myself, I found the need to go back and review my own philosophy and look at when the best images have been captured. A great evening, thanks for organising this."

"What a great speaker Charlie is and so much talent without any ego. I am now inspired to go look for shapes in my landscapes and might invest in a small stepladder! Keep this sort of event coming - it is much appreciated."

"Firstly congratulations on an excellent evening’s entertainment with Charlie. I really enjoyed it. Secondly, many thanks for organising to reserve Arc and Light for me. I was careful to get it signed quickly as he must have have been exhausted. I love it, especially to have it personalised. Please keep me on your mailing list for future events. It is a great idea and I wish you continued success with all your activities. Photographers in the North East owe you a debt of gratitude. "

"I wanted to email to let you know how much I enjoyed the talk from Charlie last night. It is a real treat to hear from someone at the top of their game especially someone who is so enthusiastic and candid about their art. My own photography has been lacking a little bit lately and seeing his work and hearing his philosophy has given me the shot in the arm I was needing. "

"Thank you so much for giving such an informative, educational and entertaining presentation to our packed house. Your talk was extremely well-received and I have had some great feedback already today. With such a wonderful array of images, your philosophical observations on the nature of photography proved both stimulating and inspirational. At the grass roots of photography we rarely get the opportunity to receive such insights: all those present will, I’m sure, approach their art with renewed interest and enthusiasm."

"On Wednesday 1st October my friend Shirley & I came to see your talk in Oxford. It was well worth rushing from Swindon to be there. Your book Of photographs has proved very useful as today I showed it to my Mum in hospital - it really cheered her up to see the image of Uffington: a place she always enjoyed visiting in the past, her smile was priceless thankyou."
