Thank you also to Zan for some great make-up & hair! Much appreciated. Thank you also to Sophie & Jemma & Aaron for modelling for us.

We have some great courses coming up at the studio in the next few months, if you are interested in shooting shots like these and learning how to do it please CLICK HERE or call the studio on 01706 340792 and chat to Kristie.

WARNING ( Long blog post!! ) But worth it!

What a fantastic time we all had a week ago now in the woods in York. Thank you to all of the photographers that signed up for the course and made it down to the campsite in the woods. We had long been planning this course down to the hair & make up, outfits, props, lighting,  shot ideas & location. It was a fantastic success in all aspects of what we did. Thanks to The Flash Centre in Leeds for supplying us with all the equipment that we didn't have already. A big thanks to the girls from Love Miss Daisy for the amazing vintage clothes. A huge thank you to our models Natasha & Rosie for doing an excellent job. To Ali for bringing down her boys and to Jolly days camp site and for letting us shoot their kids also. Thanks to Jodi Spice & Zan Atkinson respectively for make up & hair, a wonderful job as usual!

Also a big thank you to my team for feeding all of us, and for keeping us warm!

We are in the process of organizing another course due to very popular demand, if you are interested then please drop us an email HERE to tell us of your interest. Due to the overwhelming response we are pretty sure it will fill up very fast. Here are some images from the 2 day course.

Please leave your comments on the post or send us a message on the right hand side!

We also have a couple of places left on our Hit The Beach, kids & Teens course next week, click HERE to see more ....

Check out the blog next week , we will be putting on some video from behind the scenes!

Fantastic course Brett! I've had a really busy week so I'm editing them (not that they need much!) section by section. Every time I import a new 'look' on to my computer and open the images im thinking 'Wow! these are amazing!'. As its been nearly a week since ive seen some of them its a nice little 'shock' when i open them up to see how good they're looking. I cant wait to see what gems i've yet to uncover!!...Thanks again, Chris.

Hey Brett and Kristie
Thank you so much for this amazing course. I have been shooting digitally with flash for a few years and 2010 has seen me start out professionally. I knew I needed to get some training to learn more about the technicalities and spent some time researching various options. Brett is the man. Apart from all the technical side of shooting he taught me, the 2 day camping was brilliant, well organised and I left there so motivated.
I plan to go on a few more courses later in the year and probably will do for the next few years.
I would recommend Brett's courses to anyone looking to further their understanding of light and photography.
Thanks again Brett and see you soon,
Jon
