Since the advent of Digital Photography many of the key skills of Photography have diminished in importance and are often no longer taught. It is time to redress the balance! This extended one day programme by leading International Trainer and ‘Mentor Me’ guru Martin Grahame-Dunn, will examine the basics of good camera craft that are essential to the practicing professional photographer of people. In this information packed presentation, Lighting, Composition and the Posing or interaction with your subjects will be covered. A day crammed full of practical demonstrations with valuable hints and tips along the way will leave you wanting more. The whole process from concept to execution and a brief insight into creative manipulation with Nik Software will make these ‘not to be missed’ events.

Photo Quote: Let us first say what photography is not. A photograph is not a painting, a poem, a symphony, a dance. It is not just a pretty picture, not an exercise in contortionist techniques and sheer print quality. It is or should be a significant document, a pene- trating statement, which can be described in a very simple term - selectivity. - Berenice Abbott
