Introducing Major Pinkyy. Every now and then I find talent that is so unique that I have to photograph them. Major, Will to his friends, is undoubtably one of these talents. The word ‘unique’ is often overused these days but I think you’ll agree that it suits Will very well indeed. Just look at him!!! So if you’re looking for something/somebody different and interesting to photograph, look no further. Indy, alt, goth, fashion, tattooed, rock…he’s all of that and more. And he can back it all up with attitude, posing ability and that star quality that you just can’t quantify.
This is going to be an epic shoot.
Date: Thurs Jan 20th
Time: 18.00-22.00

If one of your new year resolutions is to pick up a new skill or to brush up on some rusty ones, we’re here to help. Studio flash is one of those things that some photographers are intimidated by and therefore never learn. Well Michael can help you with that. He has the knack of teaching things in a way that makes the complicated simple, and in a manner that everyone can understand without feeling patronised. So if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to use studio flash or you’ve bought a set but have no clue how to use them or even if you know how to use them but feel you’re a little rusty, this workshop is for you!

Many photographers have great cameras but they only utilise 50% of their capabilities at best. And that’s because the vast majority of modern DSLR or Mirrorless cameras can shoot fantastic video at close to or even better than broadcast quality but it’s hardly ever used. Which is a great shame.
So if you’ve wanted to be able to get more from your camera and/or want to start to shoot some great video, this workshop is for you.
Video can seem to be really complicated with a plethora of new technical jargon and editing skills to be learned. So if you don’t know your frame rate from your ISO then this workshop might be really useful for you.
Michael will guide you through the basics explaining all the technicalities you need to know before showing you how to set up your camera specifically to shoot video.
He will also run you through how to set up your camera for sound recording. Finally he will teach you how to create the right exposure and touch upon the basics of lighting for video.
So if you’ve ever wanted to start shooting high quality video, start your own YouTube channel or just to get more out of your camera, this workshop is perfect for you.
Date: Thurs 3rd February
Time: 18.00-22.00

Back by popular demand the High Speed Photography workshop is possibly the most spectacular and interesting shoot we have ever created. Not to be confused with high speed sync flash where you can shoot with flash at your camera’s fastest shutter speed (usually around 1/4000th of a sec), our technique creates an effective shutter speed of around 1/22000th of a second!!! With that kind of shutter speed we can literally freeze time with perfect clarity and capture moments you can never normally see in crazy detail.
As you can see from the photos, it can deliver some truly spectacular results and using our imagination, all sorts of amazing images can be achieved. And you don’t even need to bring any special equipment – just your normal camera, lenses and a tripod.
Date: Thurs 10th February
Time: 18.00-22.00

Cost per person: £75.00
