Bird of Prey Indoors
INDOOR BIRD OF PREY photo shoots - £75 per person
These photoshoots are restricted to 4 people and need 3 to make running them viable. Backdrops and props will be available but photographers are welcome to bring their own . It will be possible to take both static and flight photographs. Most birds will be flown free and some will not wear jesses.
Equipment - The lighting set up will be comprised of Canon EX 550 flashes or studio equipment but these will be used manually and can be triggered by any make of camera ,using equipment I can provide. I would expect to discuss equipment and requirements with all photographers before booking ,to ensure there will be no problems on the day. It will be possible to use other flash equipment by prior discussion. Should your equipment be unsuitable or if you would prefer , my equipment will be available for use ,free of charge and will not require more than a few moments instruction.
Experience - Discussion amongst photographers is likely to be more technically orientated than for the outdoor workshops and due to this ,these workshops may be more suitable for intermediate and advanced photographers. However , I will be happy to work with groups of beginners and teach the basics of flash photography in an environment where I can ensure they achieve good results.
PERSONAL TUITION - £150 per day
This will give you the opportunity to work alongside myself and Andy Darrington as we use the studio. I will be happy to arrange the day around your ideas. The day will be informal and tuition will be by example. Please contact me to discuss your needs.
