THE DARK CIRCUS & MORE

You are invited to this super class with Trevor & Faye on Friday the 17th of January in the Octagon Suite to join them in Part 2 of the Dark Circus. They will be combining this with inspirational and creative portraits
You will be working in the Octagon Suite and on location within the hotel complex.
We pursue photography for the love and the passion that we feel for the medium and doing it can be a very difficult thing to do.
There are thousands of people who take photographs, but there are very few photographers amongst them, because one has to have an eye, one has to have a vision, and one has to have something to say

This class must be pre booked to ensure your place.  

A great opportunity to have help from leading practitioners in the photographic industry.

Why struggle when help is at hand? Our Mentoring team are here to give you first class advice on your imagery and help you to create the very best images for your clients and lead to qualifications.
