Moving and Moved!

Hi As well as moving back to the UK I’ve also moved my blog onto my own server.

You can find it here http://photographyinitaly.com/blog/ and from now onwards I will only be updating that site.  Please change your bookmarks and sorry for any inconvienience.

Booking going well for the 2010 Event

The bookings have reached the dizzy heights of 17 people who have already paid their deposits and will be attending the March 2010 event.  Pretty good to say we are just under a year away.  Other people have expressed an interest and sadly some of them will definitely be disappointed if they all want to come because there are more “interested” people than there are beds.

There are probably many more people who would like to attend but don’t even know about the event yet so for them let me explain a little more.

It’s a “not for profit” event where everyone shares the cost of the rent of the house and pays a contribution for the models and facilitators.  Everyone cooks their own meals and tidies up after themselves and also share their ideas with everyone.

There are 3 informal group meetings per session with 3 sessions per day.  These group meetings are loosely led by someone but everyone in the group can offer their own opinions at any time.

If anyone wants to volunteer to lead a group they can do if they want to share a particular technique that they think others will benefit from.

There is a model at each session and session titles range from Shooting under Difficult Existing Light to Trash the Dress and Boudoir to the Bride Getting Ready.  Weddings and Portraiture techniques will be covered and the models are also available for private hire if delegates wants to shoot for their own portfolio.

With a price ticket of only £180 for the 4 nights accommodation and all the sessions it’s a great way of expanding your own knowledge and meeting other like minded people.

This is the Hallway. Where would you put the model?

If you are interested in attending have a look at my site at www.prgh.co.uk/2010.html and if you have any further questions please just ask.

Phototraining in the UK

Once back in the UK I have to keep myself busy.
First gig on the list will be the resurrection of my annual week away event in March 2010.
In 2010 it’s going to be held in the Peak District near Buxton in a fabulous house on the moor.

It has thirteen bedrooms and some beautiful rooms for photography in.

I’ve already got one model booked and looking for at least 2 more. Skyy has already confirmed and having worked with her before I know she’s going to be stunning as usual.

If anyone wants more details please have a look here

We are going to be covering Wedding, Portrait, Glamour and Fine art Nude photography, software workflows using Lightroom2 plus marketing and sales – essential during periods of small growth to maximise your business potential. Real life problems faced with real life people.

UPDATE  We’ve now got 19 people promising to book for the event so I’m sure we are going to have fun.  If you are interested you need to be quick to book your bed.

I’ve also set up a facebook page here
