Photo Training Overseas
26th JANUARY - 2nd FEBRUARY 2010

Bjorn Thomassen will be one of the principal tutors on PTO next January. An experienced lecturer who inspires all who attend his training courses. A master of lighting techniques and a leading exponent in the new wave contemporary style of photography. It has never been more important than now to increase your viability in the photographic market place. If you want to take your image making to the next level than this is a man you must share quality time with. Bjorn has no edge and no ego - he loves teaching and sharing and will always go the extra mile to help other photographers improve their technique. He writes for no less than five different photographic magazines and he is co-author of the best selling '100 ways to take better portrait photographs'. He travels extensively and recently was commissioned to provide training at the largest and most prestigious studio in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - so sought after are his abilities. So why not hone your skills on the next PTO course.

There are many training courses available now all vying for your business - however, before you decide just consider PTO has been established for over twenty years, is unique in that it takes you into an ideal learning environment for a total of seven nights and provides exceptional value for money by using a top class hotel on all-inclusive board and offers no less than nine top notch tutors on varied subjects - together with ideal networking opportunities. Other Master Class speakers include Guy Gowan - regarded as a digital guru. Morag Macdonald - with a fresh approach to documentary wedding photography. Su Kaye - bestowing the virtues of looking at contemporary art as another potential business outlet. Marko Dutka - one of the brightest rising stars on the social photography circuit today and Simon John - probably the most unusual wedding photographer in the UK who looks 'outside the box' for his images. Add to these outstanding speakers - evening business building seminars by Anita Mason - a lady who knows how to generate extra business through her nurseries, dance schools, corporate events and her unique 'Fairies' promotions. Phil Flowers - who was into digital right from the start and knows almost every short cut there is, in addition he works with the superb Pro-Select software to increase sales for social photographers. Paddy Clarke - is probably one of the most successful wedding and portrait photographers in Ireland working with his daughter Emma using business generating marketing techniques.

Next January will see the launch of the new PTO digital photo competition making it easier and less expensive to enter but with the same quality critique and trophies for the winners presented at the end of course formal Gala Awards Dinner. Additional models will be available to practice your new found techniques with extra free-time built into the programme. For culture - and the area of Antalya in Turkey has plenty - delegates may arrange their own itinerary on the final day of the course.

For those who like the idea of an extra week to unwind and take in more of the local culture then you had better act quickly as PTO only has eight - 14 night places left from London Gatwick at an additional £150 per person all-in!
