Photography Session Days are one of the market leaders in portrait photography events and training in the UK. Run by Graham Currey and Emma Finch, we organise portrait and lighting training workshops, and portfolio building days, in unique locations with the very best models/performers to create a variety of photographic opportunities in a friendly, supportive environment.
Portrait Workshops are instructional workshops held at our Manchester studio although you do still get chance to work with models. We are currently running:
Portrait Masterclass
This course covers an introduction to off camera flash and studio lights, the use of different modifiers, working with models, posing tips and tricks, post processing information. Plus you get chance to put into practice what you have learnt with a female and male model on various sets in the studio. These workshops really are invaluable to anyone starting out in Portraiture or keen to progress their work.
Creative Lighting Workshops
In addition, we run Creative Portraiture workshop: Noir, Creative Light & Fine Art. These are the next steps to perfecting your portraiture and adding a creative edge to your work. Working with both a professional female and male model across two different studios, these half day sessions will improve both your lighting skills and your portfolio.
Event Days
These portfolio building days are a great way to expand your portfolio, network, get creative and have fun with other photographers. The most unique locations in the UK to give you something completely different for your portfolio. We have used historic lighthouses, old mills, a nuclear bunker, Tudor houses, forests, disused churches, historic cinemas, forges, spitfire hangar, stately homes, WildWest town etc. Professional models at the top of their game make your job as a photographer easier. We also use character models and performers to give you something completely different. We have had contemporary dancers, actors, musicians, burlesque performers, zombies to name but a few.Some events are themed, others are a 'mixed bag' so there will always be something on the events programme to tickle your fancy. Themed events include Vikings, Vintage, Historical Costumes & Hollywood. Lighting is provided on all sets and help is always on hand so whether you are a seasoned pro or fairly new to off camera flash and studio lights, you will still be able to achieve great results.
