Very happy to announce the London Fusion Workshop to be held 2-5 May 2011. I am honored to join forces with UK’s Adam Alex, the MPA Open Wedding winner 2010, for three days of education, inspiration and lots of fun.

Day 1
We’ll start the day with breakfast and introduction of the speakers and participants. Then we’ll go through 3 of your favourite images taken in the last 6-12 months. This is a fantastic opportunity to witness your work being critiqued (positively) within an open environment. Please bring your images on a CD, DVD OR Memory stick as jpg.
 
The second half of day 1 Adam and Louis will be shooting live with a couple of models demonstrating how they work in low light. Adam will pose brides, grooms and couples in various locations, using available light, video light and off camera flash. The focus is on posing and the principles of wedding photography. This is your opportunity to ask questions, take notes and experience how Adam sees the beauty in all locations.
 
At approximately 4pm, we will make our way back to the lecture room for Q&A’s and a summary of the day. Then dinner time. YAY!
 
Day 2
TTL flash have had a lot of bad press, but it is mostly down to lack of understanding. Louis will guide you through the pitfalls and show the tremendous capabilities of these small lights. From there Louis will dive into Guerrilla Lighting. See how small tools like gels, clamps, softboxes & reflectors can yield huge results. With Guerrilla Lighting, you’ll never be held hostage by bad light. Louis will demonstrate light management for large formal groups and shooting with the harshest light at 12 noon.

After lunch, it is all about you. This will be your opportunity to take charge and demonstrate what you have learned and overcome. Each student will have the opportunity to shoot with models at various locations. Adam and Louis will affirm your strengths and suggest areas for improvement. At approximately 4pm, we will make our way back to the lecture room for more Q&A’s and a summary of the day. We will then all go for dinner.
 
Day 3
The first half of day 3 will continue with the students shooting on location. We want you to keep practicing and taking risks with new techniques you’ve learned. After lunch, Adam will teach ‘Don’t overshop it, Photoshop it’. He will be demonstrating his award winning post processing techniques and fine art retouching. The program will cover workflow, layers, blending modes, masking, toning and more. Then it’ll be dinner time again. YAY!
  
Day 4
The morning will start with a critique of the student’s images taken from day 2 and 3.

Adam and Louis will then lecture on the importance of positive business practices, a healthy attitude, bright branding, sales and marketing. Louis will talk about “7 Winning Strategies” on how to win over people with genuine relationships & great service. You’ll see how Louis connects with his clients: from the first email, phone call, consultation, wedding day coverage, delivering the album to celebrating the clients’ first anniversary. We’ll discuss successful selling without manipulation or pressure. Stay true to your art, business and yourself. No question is too sacred. Everything is on the table for discussion. 


WIll have a great group photo, lots of hugs and kisses before we say goodbye!
