Photography workshopThe workshop leaders | This workshop | Scheme of work | Certified qualification | Evidence of participation | Booking The Photography workshop will inspire you to start seeing the world in a different light, that from the eyes of the camera. Start to capture the world around you, what you do, the journeys you make and the interests you have. Young people are very familiar with terms such as image, identity and first impressions. How is that achieved? How is it embellished and imprinted into our mind. An image can speak a thousand words and the power and importance of the photograph can never be under estimated. Photography is here to stay and the recent advancements of digital have made it even more accessible to all, to share both on the printed page and on the internet. The workshop leadersOur resident photographer, Simon left college in 1991 with a HND in Photography after coming top in his class. The following 10 years were spent as a freelance fashion photographer until completing his degree in visual communication design at Middlesex University where he attained a first class honours degree. Over the past 4 years, on his own initiative, Simon has built a library of over 25,000 images (all taken by him). Subjects range from products, lifestyle, people, portraits, architecture, close-ups, and nature to landscapes, and in fact just about anything and everything. During his time as a freelance photographer Simon worked for clients such as Armani, Boss Models, The Scotsman Newspaper and Vidal Sassoon. He has had various photographic exhibits and shows including a piece of work in the Victoria and Albert Museum. He has organised a charity fashion show in London and had images in magazines as well as working on photo shoots in New York, Paris and LA. Recently Simon has explored the area of Band and Artist photography and has his own business at www.bandphotography.co.uk.
