BIRD OF PREY PHOTO SHOOTS

  

 

My fees are £200.00 per 7 hour photo shoot or £100.00 per 3 hour photo shoot - for any group size.

I can provide a venue for up to 6 people at £20 per person in addition to my fees.

I am able to work with photographers of all levels of experience ,from professionals who may wish to capture specific shots to beginners who may appreciate a lot of technical input.

I can attend your formal or informal venue with my birds for my fees plus travelling expenses. I am willing to work with any size group for the same fee but would not advise more than 12 people.

I am flexable with the timing of the day as this will enable clients to take advantage or the best light,some may prefer a 6am start whilst others may wish to finish at dusk or even work into the night - when the owls will be more active.

I do not ,at the moment, have set workshop dates for individual bookings as I would prefer to arrange dates with a group leader .  Booking can be provisional and I would be happy to postpone if bad weather is expected at short notice. If individuals want to join a group please contact me and  I will try to arrange a place.

I am also able to give talks to clubs about my photo shoot techniques along with my nature photography. I will be happy to bring a bird to these talks to provide a short photo opportunity for members.Please contact me to discuss your requirements.

 

                                                                  PHOTOSHOOT IDEAS

My usual photoshoots are out doors with static birds or birds flown on a creance.One jess is removed. The birds will be selected by prior discussion with the group leader.

I am able to provide a large barn for studio work where clients can work with their own sets or ones I provide. This can be an excellent opportunity to use or learn how to use IR beams for flight photography.For groups who require a set date it will be posible for the shoot to go ahead inside if the weather is unsuitable or even to combine studio with outdoor work.

With the owls clients may well prefer to take advantage of sunset or dusk when fill in flash can be very effective, or even work into the night when the owls will be active and can be frozen in flight by using flash.
