Brett says…” If you are using  flash but want to take it to the next level then this is the course for you. We will be looking how to create stunning fashion images on location using a mixture of speed lights & larger location Elinchrom lights. Even if you don’t have any other lights than speed lights the process is exactly the same. Learn how to take your flash usage to another place..This time of year is the perfect time to learn how to use flash, this will give you time to practice and put it in place for your winter jobs. Don’t wait until it gets dark!!”

Photography course snapshot.. where is it?

This one day course starting off at the studio and then onto a location in Manchester will give you ample opportunity to shoot with & without flash our models. This stylized shoot will give you some amazing imagery to use. Most importantly the knowledge to be able to do it yourself. We will be using a mixture of natural light & flash.  If you want to learn how to use your flash on location, how to look for the light, looking at posing, form, backgrounds and interaction all to create stunning imagery then this is the course for you. We will be using Elinchrom lights & hand held flash guns throughout the day , so if you want to get down and dirty and learn all about flash then this is the course for you.

Who is this course aimed at?

Our courses are open to anyone that wants to improve their own photographic technique. Brett teaches in such a way that he makes it easy to understand. So if you are a hobby photographer or an advanced pro then you will learn something from Brett Harkness. You will only have to take a look around the site to see Brett’s style or open any of 3 photography magazines this month to see articles from Brett. So if you haven’t been on one of our training courses yet, take the plunge, you won’t regret it!

As Brett says. “We pride ourselves on everything that we do at Brett Harkness Photography and our training courses are no exception. Apart from the obvious information being passed on we look to take care of all the details from dresses used, flowers to food and comfort. We will work you hard !! But our days are filled with fun , exceptional shooting and most importantly the chance to learn!”

     

    What photographers say about our courses

    David Long- “I just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday, I had a thoroughly enjoyable day and learned a lot.I’m not quite a workshop junkie but do love learning and have attended a fair few! I do have to say that this is probably the best session that I have been to. What shone through was the quality and attention to detail throughout the day from the venue, to the models to the quality of information/instruction and the opportunity to learn and shoot – you both did a fantastic job!”

    Barry McCullock- “Brett. Just a massive thanks to you and Kristie for making today’s shooting the most truly eye opening experience in every sense. The models were superb and helped make it massive learning curve in such a short time and done in the best of atmospheres. Invaluable.”
    Stephen - ” My mind was blown away with the information and have already started ordering new equipment to get practicing!!!
    I had a fantastic day and thought it was extremely well organized. Brett you were very inspirational and the information I hope comes in very useful for my future weddings. Kristie thanks for your kind hospitality it was very much appreciated and holding the flash all afternoon. I got some great images and loved every minute.
    Thank you again and I will be n touch soon Brett for some one to one training but think the day of shooting sounds good. ”

Cancellation Policy:

As our costs for each workshop remain the same no matter how many delegates attend, please note that just like any pre-booked tickets for the theater, concert, flights etc, we are unable to give any refund in the event of non-attendance, regardless of the circumstances. The exception to this is if we have prior notice and are able to put a cancellation place back online AND your place is resold. In this event we will of course make a full refund or credit to you. We also reserve the right to cancel any workshop if there is insufficient demand, especially if it means that our costs would be higher than our income. Please therefore do not leave it until the last few weeks if you are interested in a particular date, as you may find that it has been removed! If we have to remove a date due to this reason then we will look to book your place on a further course with similar content. We require a minimum of 3 delegates on most UK courses for it to go ahead.

    Just thought I would drop by and say how helpful I found your instructional DVD. I have my first wedding to do in a few weeks and your DVD has given me a great insight into how I should expect the day to go. I found it full of useful advice and I am sure I will watch it over and over again between now and the big day. So thank you for giving me a spoonful of your knowledge! Thanks again, Pete

  • Steve Mannell
    Hi Brett, your DVD is superb and worth every penny. I watched the whole thing including the extras and it's inspirational. I think I might have to watch it again to try and take in all the key points and tips! Keep up the good work. and I will see you on one of your London based courses in the near future.
  • ANDY FOUNTAIN - Hi Brett and Kristie , Thank you so much for the fantastic day you arranged for Rachael and myself on Monday.  It was one of the best training experiences I have had as a pro photographer and we came away feeling confident in knowing how to drive the business on.  On the way home Rachael said we would be booking a course with you guys on a yearly basis and for her to say this is a big turn around. I think she really saw the benefit in having days like this. Thank you so much again for a life changing tremendous day.”
