Wildlife

I have always been passionate about wildlife and conservation and when not photographing people I can often be found out in the countryside and on nature reserves. Though we have of course lost species, we are lucky to still have such a diversity of birds, butterflies and insects in the British countryside. Many species are still under threat, but it is heartening to have met so many like minded people when out and about photographing the natural world.

Portraiture Course

pops-1


This course will look at photographing people both on location and in a studio environment. The course runs weekly two hour sessions over five weeks and costs £100 per person. The course would suit those who have been on one of my introductory courses or those who have good basic photographic knowledge. I will provide studio lighting, backdrops and computer equipment for our indoor sessions. Course aims are also to look at resizing images for the smallest everyday print to a very large canvas. We will also look at creating digital photo montages such as the one above.

A dedicated external flashgun will be required for outdoor shooting for results as below, though students will be able to make use of my equipment if they don't currently own one.

Street Photography Course

This seven week course will concentrate on the fun and the spontaneous, creating well composed and well exposed images from daily life and would suit photographers who have been through one of my introductory courses or who already have a good working photographic knowledge. Each weekly session lasts for two hours and we will visit different locations or local events suitable for candid and reportage style shots. The course costs £100 per student. We will have a mid-course photoshop session and a final week photoshop session to review and enhance images and with five weeks of shooting there should be plenty of good images to sort through!

A lens such as a 70-200mm zoom would be ideal for this type of photography though a wide angle zoom will also be useful. The aim will be to travel as light as possible.
