You will all have plenty of 121 time with the model and your images will be constantly appraised by me while I advise you one how to improve and work towards your final finished shots. I take great care in organising a diverse range of sitters for these workshops. Each sitter gives their time in exchange for some of your final images from the day for them to use as they see fit. They are usually drawn from creative fields, and we have artists, musicians, writers and the occasional model join us to make these events as creative as possible. You will also be encouraged to assist in each other creative process throughout the day, ensuring everyone gets plenty of hands on experience!
