What the course covers

 

A three hour session that is fun yet information packed. It is really designed for the user that has just acquired their first digital SLR camera. In simple terms this means a camera with an interchangeable lens that you look through a viewfinder to take an image. We aim to make it as simple yet as informative as possible.

 

You’ll learn about the advantages of using your camera in manual mode. We’ll make sense of speed aperture and ISO for you. We’ll then spend time giving you advice on how to compose a better picture.  There will be some practical exercises and an image critique will be offered..

 

As most Digital SLR’s now have a video function included we’ll also touch on using your digital SLR camera as a High Definition video camera. We'll give you Some real easy pointers to get you shooting video in no time at all. We'll soon be running an entire workshop dedicated to using your digital SLR as a video camera but for this course we'll just touch on the basics.

 

In order to get the most out of this course, It is recommended that you have your own digital SLR camera..

LOCATION : The George Hotel, Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire, CV36 4AJ

This south Warwickshire location is ideally situated in the last town in south Warwickshire. Whilst just twenty minutes drive from Warwick and Stratford upon Avon, head west and you are in Gloucestershire within a few minutes and head south and you're in Oxfordshire within just a few miles. The George Hotel is a luxurious boutique hotel and is lited in The Observer's 20 best short-haul hotels.

We have exclusive use of both the Private dining room and the Library. This plush and funky room is decorated in deep red with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, antique leather club chairs and low leopard-skin stools making it the ideal studio setting for some great demonstrations and hands on experience,

We're now able to get you a fantastic discount on hotel rooms at the George Hotel, should you wish to stay the night before or after your course. Please send us an email using the contact us page for more details.

What you need to bring

You'll get the most out of this course if you have a digital SLR camera. If you don't have a digital SLR camera yet (usually meaning a camera that has a removable lens) then if your camera has a manual setting which allows you to control the speed and aperture then you may bring that still. If you have not bought a camera yet then you can still come along but you probably won't learn so much.

EVER wondered how to take pictures of your kids just the way the professionals do?

 

If the answer is yes, then we have the perfect training for you, offering you the chance to get behind the lens with some top training. 
Lifestyle Photography is a word that's been banded everywhere over the last few years. It describes your typical non-posed picture, usually with kids running around in a photographic studio or pets doing what pets do best. The backgrounds are generally white and the results can be quite stunning. Unfortunately the results usually come with rather a large price tag too.

Well here is your chance to learn how to photograph just like the professionals do. Press Photographers, based just on the North Cotswold border, is offering a very limited amount of bookings for the next few weeks only in a beautiful new photographic studio just 2 miles from Broadway. You'll receive a one hour training session on how to compose your subject and then you'll book your family in for the fun photo session at the company's studio. You'll use your own digital SLR camera so be sure to be have one before booking in, and best of all the images you get will be your own to do whatever you like with. Price normally £399 including two 12 x 16" image edits.

Duration : 1hr ONE 2 ONE initial training and then 1hr photo session. Please don't forget you'll need your own SLR camera for this training. If you don't have one then we may be able to hire you one but it really is recommended having your own.

after payment has been made we will contact you within 48 hours to book your time slot. Evening & weekend slots available

Price £399

 


 

 

Introduction to Digital Photography in the Studio - Beginners Course -

ONE on ONE training!

Requirements : Digital Camera (preferably an SLR – with removable lenses) Camera must have speed and aperture controls.

This popular course is an ideal introduction to the world of digital studio photography. We will start with the basics and go through your own camera controls with you. Gauging what level you are at can be done very quickly and effectively by this method. We will go through with you on a one to one basis what makes a good image and what makes a bad image and give personal but constructive critique on any images that you may already have in your portfolio.

From here we will introduce you to using studio flash lighting. We always start on a simple white background with a simple lighting set up and end up on different levels depending on your speed and ability to learn. Believe it or not it is quite possible to end up with a masterpiece through just using one light! We'll take you through each stage. Advice and demonstrations will be given as to the best / easiest / quickest way of downloading your images and getting them ready to print.

By the end of the course you will be at a competent level to feel comfortable with using the studio unassisted.

Please note that you will need to supply the subject to photograph!

Duration of course - 4 hours

£499.00 - please note if you would like to split this session with up to a maximum of one other person (2 in total) then you may do so.
