Wedding Photography Workshop Wales – 18th June and 19th June
(Price £195) Torquay – 20th June and 21st June
Portrait and Fashion Photography Workshop Plymouth – 24th June
Price (£150 including lunch)

Between the 18th and 24th June, Gordon McGowan FMPA FBIPP FSWPP will be presenting 4 one-day workshops in Wedding Photography and a one day workshop in Fashion and Portrait Photography.

The Wedding Photography workshop will guide you through techniques on how to pose the bride, including hand posing, body posture as well as guidance on how to achieve the correct expression to compliment the pose. The workshop will address lighting issues such as working with video and natural light as well as finding alternative backgrounds. In addition, there will be advice on pricing a wedding, and building relationships with the bridal couple in order to identify their requirements and aspirations for their wedding photography.

The Fashion and Portrait workshop will include advice on styling a photo shoot, and creating the perfect pose, and expression. Part of the day will be spent considering studio photography which will include setting up studio lighting and background props. The workshop will also, weather permitting, involve location work at the nearby beach and woodland areas where the emphasis will be on using natural light.

The numbers of participants will be limited for all workshops, creating a more individual learning experience with part of the day dedicated to 1 to 1 tuition and feedback from Gordon. There will be ample time for questions and feedback, and in addition each participant will have the opportunity to receive a month’s free 1 to 1 phone or Skype support from Gordon.
