Photography Training and Development

As a Lancashire Wedding Photographer, I am always wary of the need to continual develop knowledge and skills to ensure that my clients get the best quality service and imagery.  So last week, I spent 4 nights on a residential photography training course in the Peak District with some highly acclaimed photographers, trainers and I have to say, it was an awesome few days.  Not a lot of sleep was to be had, we were either shooting images or up to the small hours talking about photography.  Even photographers who have been in the industry many years will always agree that there is always room to learn more.  I must thank the organisers and trainers for their efforts,  Paul Haley, Richie Crossley, Julie OswinSean McCormack. Mark Pearson and of course the very patient models, Lelde, Faye and Maria.  I have come away inspired, have new friendships and I also know a little about wine.

Below are some images I took in the group sessions and the post production is my interpretation on the image.

































Finally, whilst we were there, myself, Mark Pearson and Mac MacBride decided to give the models some time off by modelling the wedding dresses.  It was however all in the name of charity and £130 was added to my partner Jan's and Marks wife Mary's fund raising for Race For Life in aid of Cancer Research.  We would like to thank all those that kindly donated for such a worthwhile cause.
