Long time no post! - Update

So much time seems to have passed since I posted on my blog......  Moving from my old studio at the Paintworks  and being engrossed in the new foundation degree course I now head up I seem to have had little time for my blog. I have shot some amazing jobs over the last weeks. I will try and post just a few images from recant shoots.  My students are doing so well, I am so proud of their achievements, slowly the photography team at Weston College has been building around me, it has been such a teat to be involved in this course from it's very conception....



Just a few shots from last months and weeks......

PR Award won in Egypt!

Being in Egypt with the recent troubles was an interesting experience. As we were some distance from Cairo we were not in any danger, but with communications difficult and emails suspended it felt like we were on the other side of the world!

The organisation I was with is Photo Training Overseas, is is a wonderful week mixing with some of Europe's most amazing photographers. A whole week immersed in photography, talking shop till the small hours after days filled with lectures and shooting on location. 

I was lucky enough to be awarded PTO PR Photographer of 2011, winning myself a fantastic Fuji which I am looking forward to having fun with.

Below are just a few of the images I made whilst in Egypt, more will follow soon.

Next Training Course...

For anyone who reads my blog and interested in joining us for a 2 day intensive wedding photography training course then the next one is on the Monday the 22nd and Tuesday 23rd of March. The course is a 2 day including shooting with models, I can't promise such dramatic weather as we had in Turkey but I can promise lots of new tips and techniques. I will also be sharing the way I achieve lighting such as in the Turkey shots below so that you may put this into practice in your own work.

PTO in Turkey

This year I was lucky enough to be invited out to Turkey with PTO (Photo Training Overseas) as one of their lecturers. PTO is a wonderful organisation run by George and Glenys Dawber who organise annual training events in a different overseas locations. 100 or so photographers (and families often too) are presented with a variety of fantastic speakers and hands on Masterclasses for a full week. The beauty of this sort of training event is the networking you do (mainly in the bar!) with other photographers as well as attending the Workshops and lectures.

While I was there I got a little time to nip off with some of the other people to see a little of Turkey. Here are just a few of the images I made:

Mike again with my good friends Jeff and Lyn from Albums Australia.

Turkey is a fascinating and wonderful place just littered with Roman ruins including this amphitheater that is still used and can sit 15,000 people. A truly special place with really great people, I will definitely return.....
