Workshop

Title: Studio Product Photography
Trainer: Colin Hawkins
Details: Are you thinking of buying some lights or equipment to shoot products?

The choice & range of equipment is possibly overwhelming so perhaps watch & learn from simple lighting set-ups & determine if these will be the right sort of lights or what sort of equipment might be necessary for what you would like to achieve & get hands-on experience using this type of equipment before you buy.

This workshop is especially aimed at small businesses and individuals who have little or no experience of photographing products but need to learn how in a very simple way without spending a fortune on lighting equipment that might not be suitable.

The workshop is limited in numbers to ensure individual help and attention. Participants will also experience the skills and techniques learnt by others in the group.
About: This 4-hour workshop gives a hands-on opportunity to enhance your photographic skills in simple lighting & photography techniques in order to shoot products in a studio environment for publishing on the web or other promotional material.
