Members Training Days

Members only

The Members Training Days have now been running since April 2010 and are getting rave reviews from the members who have attended so far.

The Members Training came about as a follow-on from our Mentor Me program. We wanted to be able to point members towards some skill training to aid their development as photographers.

So since April 2010, we have run courses on Wedding Lighting and Posing, Wedding Marketing, Post Production, Workflow, Commercial Photography, Event Photography, Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture and RAW workflow.

What's your key?
If you think about the key in which you want to create your portraits and wedding pictures and you want to develop a consistency in style then you need to decide on one or the other and also because your market niche requires you to be different from your supposed competition

Photo Quote: I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster. - Ansel Adams
