What a start to the New Year! Saturday 21st January saw the 3rd workshop take place at the Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel and Spa.
Our day started by sharing stories of photography, finding a little bit about everyone on the workshop and realising we all had lots of things in common. The atmosphere was relaxed, the venue was perfect, we were lucky with the weather and we had some little cuties to photograph at the end of the session. I really can't think of a better way to have spent a Saturday morning.
Our group included an expectant Mummy-to-be, Mummies, Daddies, a Grandma and a photography enthusiast ~ all wanting to improve their photography in some way, shape or form. It was a great mix of people as everyone had something a little different to add and I feel really pleased that everyone enjoyed their day and left feeling inspired / wanting to capture their memories and start getting creative with their camera.
Class of January 2012
The workshop has been designed to make you think about photography a little differently, to explain the things that often confuse people, give you confidence in planning your own photo shoot at home and to allow you to have time taking photographs with the new skills you have acquired.
As this workshop was shortly after Christmas, a few of the attendees had been bought a gift voucher for the workshop so I was intrigued to find what they thought about receiving a voucher for a workshop like this. Here's what Peter said:
"I received a gift voucher to the workshop as a Christmas present. I was really looking forward to getting hints and tips from a professional photographer making a living from photography as opposed to a lecturer in a classroom. I am pleased to say the workshop didn’t disappoint! The content of the workshop was easy to understand, well delivered and contained as much technical detail as was necessary for everyone to understand. The workshop met my expectations as far as “camera craft” was concerned but exceeded my expectations when it came to tips about composition, how to arrange your subject, useful props and backdrops etc. I’ve walked away understanding much more about how to arrange a subject within a photograph to (hopefully) achieve far more professional images that capture the feeling and the moment. I would highly recommend this workshop and hope that Sarah runs a “part 2” at a later date – I’d be keen to attend."
So with Valentines Day / Mother's Day / Father's Day not far away - this type of photography gift would be perfect for anyone interested in improving their camera skills. Gift vouchers are available.
The next workshop will be taking place on Saturday 24th March 2012.
