Ever fancied turning pro or trying to sell your images? This is your chance!
On a Pro For a Day Assignment we'll show you how to shoot to a brief and put together a set of image to illustrate a magazine or newspaper feature, website or book. This skill of shooting a story or portfolio of photographs is something that is key for anyone who wants to catch a picture editor's eye or sell stock images.
These new courses offer an innovative and different way to learn how to take images with a view to selling them. They are suitable for photographers but also for writers and journalists who want to take better photographs to use or sell alongside their writing.
 |
On the courses we will teach you how to shoot to brief and how to tell a story with your photographs.
We'll show you how and what the pros shoot to get images which appeal to a picture editor and, under our guidance, you'll shoot an actual event.
|
| Our assignments are based around country life, colourful and interesting events and local food production.
They will give you the opportunity to photograph a range of related aspects with a view to being able to illustrate a feature.
Plus you'll have fun along the way and sample some excellent local produce from both land and sea.
|
|
On the first day we'll take you through the process of shooting to a brief in a local market town and photograph everything from food to people to local attractions - all key elements of a photo story.
That evening you can choose to join us for dinner where we'll enjoy a meal of tasty local food connected to the assignment. It's a wonderful chance to relax, have fun and talk.

In 2009 we will be covering two events in glorious Suffolk:
Both events are colourful and fun, presenting a great opportunity to shoot some fabulous images. The course also includes a dinner including some of the local produce that will form elements of the events, giving you a taste of the region in a very real sense!
In 2010 we'll be running a "Quintessential England" course. Details to follow....

"The photograph isolates and perpetuates a moment of time: an important and revealing moment, or an unimportant and meaningless one, depending upon the photographer's understanding of his subject and mastery of his process."
