Fords, American & Hot Rod

As I am sure most of you are aware by now our head tutor works for various automotive magazines. These include Classic Ford, American Car and Custom Car. We are always on the look out for new feature cars. We are also looking for any other automotive related vehicles to broaden the magazines we currently contribute to. These could be VW’s, Caravanning, Flight etc. if you think that you have a vehicle that is feature worthy we will see what we can do.

As many of you have already completed all our current courses we have created a new workshop for 2015. This is designed to take you that next step by combining portable lighting with ambient light to photograph a portrait.

On this course we will be teaming up with natural light specialist David Tovey who will guide you through photographing a model with natural light and light modifiers. The second half of the day will be spent with Darren using Bowens or Broncolor portable lighting and ambient light to photograph a model. The group will be split into 5-6 students, you will have the opportunity to work with 2 different professional models.

The workshop includes lunch at the fine dining restaurant The Hengist, you will be treated to a 2 course meal with a glass of wine created for you by South African Chef of the Year Petrus Madutleta.

The best part of this course is as it is the first time we are running it we are offering it to you for a crazy price, valued at £249.00 the first 12 students to sign up only have to pay £99.00! It is worth coming for the meal alone. We do not expect the spaces to be available long, as we have already sold 3 of them.

Last year we ran our first Introduction to Adobe Lightroom course in Bromley, we appreciate this was a bit far out the way for most of you but have arranged to run these now on Monday nights from 7.30pm-9.30pm at The Hengist in Aylesford.

The course will run over 3 Monday evenings and we expect to start the first one mid June. If you are interested in this please email us studio@raidphotographic.co.uk

There will be a maximum of 10 people per course and we need a minimum of 6 people for it to run.
