Urbex model shoot - Manchester

We are delighted to be able to announce our first workshop of 2019 in a unique urbex location in a Victorian mansion house in Manchester, featuring some great locations and even a Judge Dread movie car in the gardens. The building has just the right amount of decay to create some stunning backdrops to shoot against and using light we will build atmosphere on top of this great location.

Working with Terry, model Edie and MUA Sarah, you will learn how to:
Scout a location, taking in all considerations.
Light the location using continuous and / or flash to fit the mood we are looking for.
Blend ambient light and light we introduce for natural looking images.
Pose our model Edie for maximum impact and great composition.

Terry is the Societies environmental portrait photographer of the year and holds 4 Fellowships in photography, Edie is an experienced working model with a fantastic unique look, Sarah is a fully qualified MUA and special effects artist.

Whether you are inexperienced with lighting and working with a model, or a seasoned shooter wanting to hone your skillset, this workshop will benefit you.

This is a learning / portfolio building day, and you will receive tuition as required on camera craft, lighting, location selection and posing your model in a fun and relaxed environment.

No previous knowledge of working with a model and lighting will be assumed and guidance will be given as needed and will cover the basics through to more advanced techniques in a hands on fun way ensuring that you have plenty of one to one instruction and shooting time.

You will need a camera capable of shooting in manual mode, a lens with a focal length of 24-70 is idea, although wider or longer lenses can be used. Bring lots of enthusiasm to learn and take pictures. This event will be a full on day, with plenty of learning, plenty of shooting and plenty of fun.

A light lunch is included on the day but if you have any special dietary requirements you are advised to bring a packed lunch.

"Shooting for Composites" workshop takes place on Sunday 23rd October 2016 in Liverpool area, and will run from 10.00 until 16.30.

The cost is £149 and includes refreshments and a light lunch.

After looking at the theory of light, and ways in which we can control it, we will set up a light stage and shoot a live model. This is a 'hands on' part of the day and attendees are invited to photograph the model, to get images they can use themselves later, and to get tuition on their camera craft.

To utilise the lighting we will be using, you will need a camera that has a hot shoe fitting, and has a manual mode. (If unsure let me know your camera model and I can check)

In the final part of the day I will demonstrate image manipulations techniques and considerations, using images taken on the day. Attendees are supplied with notes, and are encouraged to make their own notes also, so they can practice and learn the techniques demonstrated later at their own pace. This part of the day is  demonstration based, we want people to learn by observing and to take as much information in as possible.

We will end with a Q&A session.

We will be working in a fully fitted professional Photographic Studio, with Professional Model and MUA.

I'm running this workshop in conjunction with Olympus UK on August 16th 2014.

This workshop is all about giving the experience of making and taking an idea for a picture, then formulating that idea and putting it into practice.

In this workshop experience day we will look at the initial planning and development of a concept. We will discuss and build up our choice of lighting, and put this into practice using regular Olympus flashguns that people can reproduce with their own equipment at home. This method is the same as the one I employed when making “The Rabbit” series, and can also be applied to many different subjects.

We will get hands on with the cameras and discuss settings and ideas. We will show how we can make studio quality images using Olympus micro 4/3rds cameras and speed lights. After we have taken the photographs, we will discuss finishing them in Lightroom and Photoshop, and the different looks we can achieve. We will touch on a lot of information and techniques through the day, but in a light and non technical way, making the day suitable for beginners as well as the more experienced photographers.

There is no requirement to be an Olympus user to join the workshop, you will be equally as welcome using other brands as well, although to take part your camera must have a hotshoe fitting, and must be able to shoot in full manual mode.

We will have spare Olympus cameras for you to try out or work with on the day, and I will be working with my Olympus E-M1. We will also have an Olympus expert with us to help out with camera settings for people wanting to try out an Olympus but may not familiar with the cameras layout.

Bookings are being handled by Olympus, please follow the link below to book on,
