Does This Sound Like You?

I would love to be able to introduce creative Fine Art styled photography into my portfolio. but I just don’t know how to go about it.

I’d love to get more practice in a studio environment, but I am a bit worried because I don’t know much about studio lighting techniques.

I would really like to learn more about portraiture but don’t know much about composition, posing, mood or expression.

I’d love to meet more like-minded photographers but feel a bit overwhelmed in a large group.

I have a really good idea for my competition entry but want to be able to produce it without other photographers having the same images as me.

I’m fed up of feeling like I’m on a conveyor belt at events!

I always get so nervous when I’m in large groups of other photographers all jostling for the same image. What’s the point??

STYLED STUDIO EVENTS

These very popular and very friendly gatherings allow creative photographers of all abilities a chance to practice their craft in a friendly, supportive and relaxed atmosphere.

My events are intentionally kept very small to encourage you to feel comfortable in my studio, ask questions and feel confident enough to bring your own unique creative ideas to life - and make new friends at the same time. When it’s your turn to shoot, I will be on hand to support you and act as your assistant to make sure you get the best out of your practice.

Using highly experienced and professional models, beautifully styled sets and genuine vintage and handmade props you are encouraged to create your own interpretations to ensure your images are yours alone.

After all, who wants the same images as everyone else?

Reasons to Join the Gang!

1

Every event is tailor-made, meticulously styled and exclusively designed to ensure that there is ample opportunity for each photographer to create a wide variety of images. The set design itself includes either hand-painted canvas or high-quality printed backdrops, beautiful props and gorgeous vintage furniture to give the overall aesthetic a unique flavour.

2

The models wear specifically curated bespoke handmade or vintage clothing that I have collected over many years in order to help tell the story of each shoot. I love to work with fresh or silk flowers, especially with our child models where simplicity is sometimes key to an outstanding image.

 

3

These unique styled studio events are kept intentionally small, exclusive and affordable all at the same time. Numbers are limited to a maximum of just 4 or 6 photographers per event to give everyone valuable 1-2-1 shooting time and ensures no over-crowding takes place from a health and safety point of view.

4

I will be on hand throughout the event to assist you and ensure that you have everything you need including lighting direction and any guidance you may need with your camera settings to ensure you are happy with your images. Complimentary hot and cold refreshments, snacks and private toilet facilities are also available for you.
