Any interest in Portrait Photography?

thefizz

I’m thinking of organising a one day portrait photography workshop to be taught by a leading professional Irish photographer and wanted to do some research to see if there was much interest.

The workshop would cover the following:

1) Using one studio light with various reflectors.
2) Using cheap makeshift do-it-yourself lighting.
3) Using available light.

So whether you have access to a well equipped studio or just want to photograph in your own home using available light, this workshop would be very beneficial.

This will be a hands-on practical workshop and is suitable to both film and digital users.

I can’t finalise the cost until I have a good idea how many might attend but I’d estimate around €85 per person with a maximum of ten people. The workshop would be run at a Dublin location in May or June.

I do not wish to take any bookings on this thread, I simply want to find out if there is much interest. If it goes ahead I will only be taking bookings through my web site.

Please post if this is of any interest to you.

Thanks to CabanSail for allowing me start this thread.

I would think it would depend a lot on who the photographer is that is giving the course

Sounds good though

Depending on day and time, i'd be interested

I might be interested. But, as mentioned, depends on who's giving the class, and for €85 I'd want to be sure I'll get more from it than I'd get simply watching tutorials online.

I'd be interested depending on dates, I'm sure it will be up to the standard of your past darkroom workshops.

There's absolutely no substitute for doing it - no matter how many online tutorials you watch.

I can only highly highly recommend Peter's workshops. I've been to 2 so far and have learned well more than I thought I would. Worth every penny

I think I would be interested in that. The price quoted is pretty reasonable if the lecturer is good.

This may be true, but I'm skint, so every penny counts

Sounds like he's good at what he does, so I'll definitely consider it.

Again dependent on date, I'd be interested

Procasinator

Would be interested (if at weekend).

pearljamfan

id be interested, but i can only do stuff in the mornings while my little boy is in playschool.so that counts me out of alot of things!

pullandbang

I'd be interested as would MissusP&B (she's not on here....yet).
Totally dependent on dates though - midweek or weekend doesn't really bother us - though would rather do it in Trim.....just saying like.....:)

kjt

It would depend greatly on who the person is....

Provisional interest contingent on who the photog is

Mel fan

I would love to do this, but would depend on dates and location.

imboredstupid

Guessing it's Peter ... somebody?

Id be up for it if it was a weekend

There has been good interest in this so I'm finalising the date etc and will advertise it on my web site in the coming days where I will take bookings. In line with the rules on boards.ie, I won't be taking bookings on this thread. Any further questions should also be emailed to me from now on rather than posting here.

Thanks again to CabanSail for allowing me post this thread.
