Our Photography workshops are designed to help photographers who are either new and inexperienced or just wanting to get experience in a studio environment. We offer single or group sessions and can tailor each subject to individual requirements.
Our model workshops are designed to help new and would-be models to understand the industry and what is expected of her/him in order to start collecting a number of images to get going. NOTE, we do NOT advocate portfolios especially those costing many hundreds of pounds. Experience has shown us that a few well thought out electronic images are all that is required to start modelling.
| Base Studio Figure Workshop. (This section contains some nudity) |
| In this workshop, we cover portraiture with a heavy bias on figure and semi silhouette images mainly in black and white but with colour options for interested delegates.
A professional experienced model will be used (or delegates are welcome to bring their own model) and different lighting setups employed to create draped and naked images of an artistic nature only (glamour enthusiasts might find our glamour workshop more appropriate).
Some highlight lighting will be used although the majority of setups will feature lowlight to create more silhouette style images. Back lighting will also be featured..
Working with models particularly new and inexperienced will be discussed and advice given on how to help and encourage the amateur model.
Delegates will be able to practice the varying lighting styles and view their images on a computer.

| Base Studio Glamour Workshop (This section contains topless images) |
|
Somewhat similar to the figure workshop in content, this will be predominantly colour and mainly feature bright clear images although we will demonstrate how best to create the dark more erotic style of image.
The main theme here will be to create sexy rather than artistic images.
As in the figure workshop help and advice will be given on working with amateur and inexperienced models. |
