  • What a wonderful evening we’ve just had at RPS Ireland! On behalf of all attendees and the RPS Ireland Committee a most sincere thank you to Brian Lloyd-Duckett for a most amazing evening on street photography. Brian's vast knowledge of the subject matter, his explanations, narrative, imagery as well as his delivery was simply outstanding. A wonderfully engaging speaker and a most entertaining and educational evening, hugely recommended.

    Kingston Camera Club, February 2023

  • I'd like to thank you for last night's presentation. I did receive very good feedback last night and also a couple of emails today which is unheard of! I felt it was well structured and presented with a carefully balanced content of history, techniques and tips. Very much appreciated by our members.

    Newport Photographic Club, February 2023

  • Well, Brian What a refreshing change. I can’t speak for people watching you at home, but certainly those in the hall haven’t laughed so much in years. Loved your style of talking to us rather than ‘presenting’, your enthusiasm for your art and all those great tips. Everyone now wants to go out and have a go at street photography. Absolutely brilliant! Personally, I was very impressed with your sound set up - so nice to see someone who takes it seriously.

    Nottingham & Notts Camera Club, February 2023

  • I must say thank you for so much tonight , its was superb. Your skills as a presenter and delivering your subject was outstanding. The hall was full, which since Covid this has not been a regular event, and we had 3 visitors come to hear you speak. The membership went out with a real buzz, some discussing how and where to use what they learned, others discussing the moral boundaries of street photography and the rest diving off to the local pub to discuss things philosophically over a pint. I am intrigued by how the orders for your books spike after tonight.

    Melbourne Camera Club, November 2022

  • Thank you so much for your talk yesterday evening. It was really enjoyable and I have never known a speaker create so much reaction from our members. There have been a lot of emails saying how inspirational you were and how fantastic they found your talk.
