2013 Business School

The Societies' Business School has created an amazing reputation in a few short years, it is now an intrinsic part of the annual Convention and all those delegates who attend the 2 ‘full on’ days leave with a wealth of information to plough straight back into their businesses. The theme of the Business School in 2013 is business development and growth - how to best manage your business with creativity being the consistent tread that runs through the programme. The school will be hosted and steered by Catherine Connor, one the most motivational speakers and one who has a great reputation for designing and influencing some of the most successful businesses within our industry.

The new ‘café style’ business school has been designed to encourage community and interaction and is a completely new approach to information sharing. This year time has been allocated between each lecture for open group forums and discussion, healthy debate and the sharing of ideas will be explored amongst all that attend. The line up of speakers is exceptional in fact we would go as far as to say world class and the subjects of the lectures are all dedicated to business development.

We have also stolen the Dragon’s Den concept and introduced it into the Business School. This fabulous opportunity is open to all those who attend Business School and it is a time to have YOUR business ideas evaluated and shared with a panel of experts with over a thousand pounds worth of prizes including educational courses, photographic trips and gear all up for winning!

Lighting for digital - Dave Montizambert looks at automation and naps
After spending a whole day lighting and shooting probably the last thing your poor aching mind and body wants to do is sit down to a computer and process the day’s RAW captures.

Photo Quote: Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event. During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late. - Henri Cartier Bresson
