Children's portrait photography seminars in London and Birmingham
After the huge success of my sold out Calumet seminar on Tuesday I wanted to post a reminder about the remaining three seminars that I am giving for Calumet.
The seminars have been going fantastically well so far and I have received great feedback from the attendees. Who have said:
'I found it very inspiring'
'I thank you for an excellent seminar that you held in Manchester.I found it very informative,and you as a person very interesting and very entertaining'
'I really did enjoy the seminar at Manchester. It was very well structured and your humorous delivery got the points across in just the right way to keep everyone engaged. The photography was, as always, stunning. Delivered in a thoroughly professional manner and the music choices were great too. The last one actually brought a lump to my throat!'
'Thank you so much for the terrific seminar yesterday,it was lovely to meet the person behind those fab images'
'Just wanted to say thank you for an inspirational day on Tuesday in Belfast. Your vision is really unique.'
The seminars cover a huge amount of ground and are really packed with information. Among other subjects I cover
*Developing a signature style
*Ways to improve your photography
*Working with available light
*Working indoors on location
*Family and sibling shots
*Working with different ages
*Equipment
*Composition
*Case studies for working in a family home and in a public park
*Marketing
The seminars would suit both professionals and also keen amaturs who want to be able to take better photographs of their family and friends.
There are two dates remaining:
Post-production for portrait & wedding photographers seminar
Tom got so much great feedback from everyone who came to his wedding photography seminars at the end of 2008 and one of the strongest themes was that most people found the section dedicated to workflow the most useful part of the day. Everyone said that they would be queueing around the block for a full day's training on workflow and post-production, so Calumet have invited Tom to present another set of seminars in May:
Post-production for portrait and wedding photographers
Digital capture has given photographers an enormous amount of creative control over their work, but this means that taking great pictures is only the first step towards delivering fantastic results.
Tom will be presenting a seminar that will teach you the post-production skills you need to finish your portrait & wedding photographs to a professional standard. The course will explore:
Practical techniques that will bring the best out of your images.
Building these skills into an efficient workflow that supports your photographic style and makes the most of your time.
The seminar includes:
A catch-up session to bring your Photoshop skills up to speed.
Realising the potential of RAW files.
Producing great black & whites from digital images.
Practical retouching techniques.
Using special effects to polish your images.
Taking control of your workflow.
Everyone attending the seminar will also receive a disc containing details of the techniques demonstrated, sample files and the Photoshop Actions used during the course.
The seminar will run from 10:00 to 17:00 and is priced at £85. Tickets are now on sale for the following dates and locations:
Tuesday 5 May 2009 - Calumet Belfast
Thursday 7 May 2009 - Calumet London (Drummond Street Store)
Tuesday 12 May 2009 - Calumet Manchester

Children's photography seminars a huge success
Last week was an amazing week for me. I flew to Belfast on monday to deliver a seminar at the Calumet store there all day on tuesday. It was a fantastic day and the seminar was very well received. I was then lucky enough to be taken out by some fellow photographers and shown the city before flying to Manchester on wednesday. My Manchester seminar took place on thursday so I got home on friday feeling tired and happy to with a bit of time to get things in line before the Easter holidays started with a shoot this morning.
I have recieved wonderful feedback from the seminars, here are just a few of the kind comments people have emailed me in the last couple of days
'I found it very inspiring'
'I thank you for an excellent seminar that you held in Manchester.I found it very informative,and you as a person very interesting and very entertaining'
'I really did enjoy the seminar at Manchester. It was very well structured and your humorous delivery got the points across in just the right way to keep everyone engaged. The photography was, as always, stunning. Delivered in a thoroughly professional manner and the music choices were great too. The last one actually brought a lump to my throat!'
'Thank you so much for the terrific seminar yesterday,it was lovely to meet the person behind those fab images'
'Just wanted to say thank you for an inspirational day on Tuesday in Belfast. Your vision is really unique.'
I can't wait for the London seminar later in the month. London is sold out although we are planning to put on an additional date (more details to follow). There are still spaces available for Birmingham and Liverpool though, I do hope to see some of you there
