Over the last year I have devoted more of my time to external learning. Attending galleries, exhibitions, trade events, workshops as well as watching online tutorials such as Kelby training and creative live. Some highlights are:
The Yerburys - Fine Art Portraiture Masterclass.
This was simply amazing, two award winning photographers allowing me into their studio/home to look at how they work and to have training session. Simply fabulous
Kirstie Mackin - Michael Ormerod Award winner at Newcastle College
Kirstie Mackin exhibited some beautiful images from her travels high in the scottish highlands a place and culture i may never get to see, simple/hard life beautifully captured. This was followed by an exhibition on Michael Ormerod's project in the USA which was shot on film and that was amazing to see. Both exhibitions inspired me a lot as i really like the simplistic nature of the photo-jounalism
The Digital Imaging Show - NCL
This was a day of seminars and trade exhibitions which was great for my business networking at top see and feel quality of products. During the day event i attended a lighting workshop with John Denton which supported all the workshops that I had attended with Alan and it was nice to see another take on a simple technique. Catherine Connors lecture on Magnetise business was also of great interest together with Charlie Kaufmans talk on Making more profit. I learnt a lot of new ideas and strategies for self promotion and price structure.
Confrontier - Side Gallery
Images from the Fall of the Berlin Wall. I was a child when this happened but i remember my mother talking my about it all as we watched the news footage at the time, so to see documented images from Kai Widenhofer's experience was very moving.
