We have frozen prices at last years rates for the year ahead; this will be our third year without any increases so representing etter value than ever.<br />We start on the South Downs (collection from Brighton Station available) where we develop key skills in getting to know your camera. After abou an hour and half we move on, by car to a secondary location on the Downs and start utilising what we have learned in the morning. Stopping at a Sussex pub for lunch, we then travel back down to Brighton seafront and take in all its glory, the beach huts, Peace Statue,, wonderful Victorian architecture, fishing boats on the beach at Hove and ending at the derelict West Pier at around 4pm, when the light finally fades.<br />See more at www.WeddingPhotographyWorld.co.uk or www.JamesRGordon.com for One day photography workshops with a professional photographer. Our students generally leave enthused and far better photographers than at the start of the day and we are pitched at beginners and keen amateurs.<br />Contact 07985 564401.Jim Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16029337600352125565noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454319862018959111.post-71493801388767334322010-11-30T04:28:00.000-08:002010-11-30T05:14:15.306-08:00Landscape Photography Course Brighton, Sussex<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT3h12d_RI/AAAAAAAAACg/cpOq4LphSVk/s1600/Cupcake2.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 269px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT3h12d_RI/AAAAAAAAACg/cpOq4LphSVk/s320/Cupcake2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545329201963203858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT3Pm9g3-I/AAAAAAAAACY/XHsoGidEcbY/s1600/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2B060.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT3Pm9g3-I/AAAAAAAAACY/XHsoGidEcbY/s320/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2B060.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545328888728575970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT3A_vHlBI/AAAAAAAAACQ/OW-owz2c15M/s1600/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2B022.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT3A_vHlBI/AAAAAAAAACQ/OW-owz2c15M/s320/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2B022.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545328637681046546" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT2xPFhKNI/AAAAAAAAACI/fMMr4478jMo/s1600/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2Ba.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT2xPFhKNI/AAAAAAAAACI/fMMr4478jMo/s320/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2Ba.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545328366923622610" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT2p3T7jeI/AAAAAAAAACA/r4HwCFXsKI8/s1600/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2Bb.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT2p3T7jeI/AAAAAAAAACA/r4HwCFXsKI8/s320/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2Bb.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545328240282537442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT2i7tXkyI/AAAAAAAAAB4/MMNlohGSPwY/s1600/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2Bc.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT2i7tXkyI/AAAAAAAAAB4/MMNlohGSPwY/s320/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2Bc.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545328121203888930" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT2ZZDNwkI/AAAAAAAAABw/48rw5IQ6rnQ/s1600/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2Be.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TPT2ZZDNwkI/AAAAAAAAABw/48rw5IQ6rnQ/s320/Course%2BNovember%2B2010%2Be.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545327957281456706" border="0" /></a><br />See more abot our photography courses for One day in Brighton, East Sussex, here:<br /><br />http://www.weddingphotographyworld.co.uk/#/courses/4524725348<br /><br />This weekend, despite a temperatre of -2 in the morning and intermittent snow flurries, saw us all thoroughly enjoy the day ot with our cameras in the landscape of Sussex, around Brighton. We run a 1 day landscape photography course here in this lovely town, starting on the exquisite South Downs with there gentle drama, and on this occassion frozen fauan. Mushrooms were the early interest, along with the natural landscape. Wrapped up warm and with thermos flasks of sweet tea and soups we ventred along the South Downs Way in the direction of Winchester for a mile or so, before the cold got too mch and we headed back to the car park with a series of outstanding images.<br />For me, what makes these courses so enjoyable is watching students discover new aspects of their cameras and starting to apply new learned knowledge hands on. It is an absolute pleasure.<br />After a very long and leisurely 2 hour lunch (it is usually 45 mins at most) due to the exteme low temperatures outside, and after some refreshingly intelligent conversation, we set off to Brighton seafront.<br />The light got the better of s shortly after 3.45pm bt not before some lovely shafts of light fell on the beach huts and across the Chanel, giving us some magnificent skies and silhoettes to contend with. The starlings, as they are prone to be at times, were late. However they gave a spectacular display as they raced in from above the Grand Victorian sqares in Hove and over the sea to there roosting position over the Palace Pier. They appear to have abandoned the West Pier, in it's dilapidated state in favour of the Palace Pier. Known as a murmuring, the starlings gather in social groups of two or three, several thousand in each flock, and circle and sway high above the Pier slowly descending s the light fails and the sun sets. As each flock pass each other they produce to the eye a thick cloud of density that is perfect for photographing and remains absolutely awe inspiring. I have been enjoying these daily events for nearly 20 years now and as a natural phenomonen it never ceases to me. The event started apparently after the Great Storm of 1987 which destroyed much of their habitats, a great nmber of Elms were lost that night and are still used in furnitre making in the City. As such a rare wood it is highly popular.<br />Many other trees were lost too obviously hence this fantastic daily event at this time of year, right through into new year, of thousands upon thousands of starlings swirlng above the Pier with such grace and silence.<br />The volume increases as they land, bt within a few minuites there is silence again and the event is over. Almost as quickly as it started.<br />This weekend has made me realise just how much I enjoy these courses....the prospect of getting out of bed and going outside for the day on sunday didn't initially see me jmping ot of bed. But once out in the landscape it was an absolute pleasure and even I found myself lying prostrate on the frozen ground photographing mushrooms in Macro growing out of cow pats....I guess I could always stack shelves in Tesco's for a living instead but hey, I love what I do. See the Pics below.<br />This weekend also saw us run our first Open House as part of the Brighton and Hove Artists Open Houses. My beautiful partner Georgina was displaying her jewellery that designs and then has produced by artesans in Italy and I had several Art prints and canvases on display too, some around Brighton, one from West Wittering and a short series from Tate Modern. Also the cup cake below........see what you think. You can find more at www.JollyGorgeous.com<br />So, to the Courses again, it is clear I need to do more offline marketing to get these courses noticed. If I could do these 5 days a week I would not only be quite well off but extremely happy. They are a joy to conduct and the feedback from one student telling m I was a good teacher, is always encoraging to hear not having formally trained in teaching. The really good thing is that I am able to convey the photographic skills people are seeking and impart that knowledge clearly and concisely in a manner that is both understood and appreciated.<br />Now I can wait for the next one, so get booking folks! If you are buying a camera for somone, get them a days course too to learn how to use it and get the very best from it. The Course Vouchers make excellent Christmas gifts and are open for 12 months.Jim Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16029337600352125565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454319862018959111.post-67979010369107969052010-11-23T01:47:00.000-08:002010-11-23T01:58:34.036-08:00Photography Courses in Tuscany.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TOuPFwt2IaI/AAAAAAAAABo/kaPHtgGym2c/s1600/La%2BPievaccia%2B012.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TOuPFwt2IaI/AAAAAAAAABo/kaPHtgGym2c/s320/La%2BPievaccia%2B012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542681095548838306" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TOuOwP0BAgI/AAAAAAAAABg/ExXQkPrVX8Q/s1600/Tuscany.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wNK61zIZnBI/TOuOwP0BAgI/AAAAAAAAABg/ExXQkPrVX8Q/s320/Tuscany.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542680725939094018" border="0" /></a><br />New for 2011, we are now running photography courses in Tuscsny, Italy.

The brief was straight forwards enough. As a wholesaler with sole rights to distribute Zoppini products of Florence, Italy, the company needed a web profile. Working with a newtowrk of sales Agents and using Zoppini branding, imagery from a photoshoot with Maxim magazine, and products sold by Zoppini including fashion jewellery in silver and stainless steel, as well as watches, pens, cufflinks, and charms, in addition to the fashion jewellery produced by Zoppini, a simple, functional and descriptive site was required to increase presence in the market and engage new retailers to sell Zoppini products throughout the UK and Northern Ireland.<br />Some of the imagery is a little outdated, in that a new set of images are in production for 2010 and we should have those shortly from Zoppini directly. Relevant contemporary imagery relates to the Concept Store in Dubai. Other imagery was produced by ourselves, through www.FivewaysPhotography in Brighton, Sussex after attending a sales meeting at the Companies HQ. The Company also has major networks in Arezzo, Italy, south of Florence, and I will be attending a tour in Tuscany with the Agents in early 2011 to produce imagery of the meetings with Zoppini next year and producing relevant and unique imagery in the lovely Town of Arezzo as well as the surrounding Tuscan countryside and hills.<br />We are retained by Italian and Charming; the company owner was particularly pleased with the manner and way in which we conveyed their professionalism, through photography and engaging the search engines as well as producing the written articles from 'bare bone' information given to us on both Italian and Charming Ltd and Zoppini.<br />We are delighted with our clients comments and look forward to working with the company on matters of SEO and Photography in the times ahead.

Wholesalers in the UK for Zoppini Charms, Jewellery and accessories.Two new sites have now gone live in recent days.........http://www.ItalianandCharming.com a Jewellery Wholesaler from Tuscany based in the UK and http://www.KemptownOnline.net a community and services site for the Kemptown and St James' area of Brighton and Hove, east of the Pavillion, here in East Sussex.<br /><br />And for FivewaysOnline.com we have two new customers, so please welcome Talking Tots for childrens language development in Brighton, Hove and Lewes, as well as Mick from MB Roofing, who has so many positive comments and feedback from his customers he is clearly the Roofer to use in Brighton and Fiveways.<br /><br />On www.WeddingPhotographyWorld.co.uk meanwhile, Elaine <span><span class="yab_contact_list_grid_contact_title"></span>Borges-Ibanez of Reel Life Photography, a Destination Wedding Photographer based in Yorkshire, has joined the site for her fourth consequitive year; Elaine is our longest standing customer and a lovely woman with it, over the years I've grown to recognise her as a friend as much as a customer, and we completely endorse Elaines photography and could not recommend her more strongly. See Elaines work here http://www.reellifephotos.co.uk/ And we are likely to see Ivan Luckie providing coverage for Weddings in Mexico in the next few days too, but I'll save Ivans welcome for next time.<br /><br /><br /></span>Jim Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16029337600352125565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454319862018959111.post-76816817306204359342010-01-22T09:58:00.000-08:002010-01-22T10:17:35.310-08:00Photography Courses in Sussex.Well, happy new year folks, 2009 keeps rearing its ugly head but here we are late Janury 2010 with all that the new decade promises. Somehwat overflowing with optimism here, lots going on, some sad, some very bad, and some unbelievable good fortune too, not to mention good health and the very best friends and family around me, so what's to grumble about? Absolutely nothing! Although a healthy dose of realism is always a good idea, I tend to remind myself from time to time that whilst men makes plans God laughs. :-)<br /><br />On the photography front, sands are already shifting, but I hope to be running courses in the south of France with Deyan Photography of Australia some time in June, and a first visit to Egypt is also planned for the long overdue Suez project; there's a chance to visit Marakesh and I am planning, with some trepidation (hence the God laughs comment above) to go up Killi before it loses it's snowy peeks completely; but that's October and this is January, with winter and Xmas padding still evident some serious training has to occurr between now and then.<br /><br />I have been working on various websites, producing images for Elwood Wines in Brighton (see www.ElwoodWines.co.uk) and also working on a new Jewellery website. Currently planned are the new local sites for Brighton KemptownOnline and SevenDialsOnline so keep a lookout since the FivewaysOnline.com site has been such a success.<br /><br />Last month a number of photographers joined us at www.WeddingPhotographyWorld.co.uk including I am delighted to say Jeremy Standley; Jeremy is without doubt one of the very finest Destination Wedding Photographers in the world today, hugely respected by his peers and those elsewhere in the industry too.<br /><br />Lastly, on the photography courses front I am looking to extend geographically from Sussex to London as well with the potential to go into any area in the UK and deliver day courses, so long as sufficient numbers make it worthwhile. I was approached by two people from Newcaslte asking me to run one on the Northumberland coast and have asked them to come back when there are at least 8 of them. So, similarly, if you would like me to run a course elsewhere do get in touch; I am now setting dates for the Sussex courses; snow and ice shut one course this month already, so next dates are likely to be in February and March. Do get in touch if interested, the courses are extremely good fun and very inspiring.

If you are lost for a gift, these make the perfect gift for budding and long term hobbyists and those with an interest in developing their skills further.<br /><br />We have been running these courses for the past two years very succesfully, taking in the unique South Downs and Brighton seafront, with the added bonus of a pub lunch up on the Downs. It's a unique day, where skills are learned in a supportive, non-competitive environment in which those attending leave with an excellent range of new skills, confidence and above all the inspiration required to spend more time with their camera creating the images they believe in.<br /><br />See the site here for booking details at excellent value; I'm not sure how much longer we can keep our prices down at this level. www.WeddingPhotographyWorld.co.uk/courses.<br /><br />Two more excellent Wedding Photographers in France have recently joined with us, Nicolas Gornas and Johan Majerus and I would like to welcome both to Wedding Photography World. In addition Barbara Fryer, based in Devon as a Wedding Photographer, has also recently joined us. I would like to welcome all three as we look to economic recovery in 2010. The Christmas booking season is about to commence so these photographers are very well placed to benefit from our google position that has been achieved through several years very hard work. It never ceases to amaze me just how many high quality wedding photographers across the globe we now have with us.<br /><br />I will also be covering a number of local events this Christmas in Brighton including a wine tasting event in the Fiveways area of Brighton and corporate events in hotels near the seafront, as well as two or three in London. I am also booked for several family portraits; it is lovely to see families returning to this tradition; I wonder what future generations will make of the period when family portraits just didn't happen. What a sad loss in those families histories. Still, as a genre it is on the rise again so not all is lost. For the first time in a long time I am enjoying my photography again, I think every professional goes through this at some stage, interests wain, business detracts from the creative side and creative flows ebb like the tide; well the tides in and I am at my most creative for years so fill your boots! :-)Jim Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16029337600352125565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454319862018959111.post-81709667750795966052009-10-30T05:10:00.000-07:002009-10-30T05:18:19.211-07:00Johann Majerus joins Wedding Photography WorldI am delighted to announce that Johann Majerus, the Wedding Photographer based in Marseille in the South of France is joining with www.WeddingPhotographyWorld.co.uk<br />Johann will be covering weddings across France, he has a superb portfolio and has excellent communication skills meaning he is very capable of understanding what you want to achieve in your wedding images.<br />Johann's banner will be live on our France page shortly, in the days ahead, so check back then to see more of Johann's lovely photography. http://www.weddingphotographyworld.co.uk/#/france-weddings/4531712006Jim Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16029337600352125565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454319862018959111.post-34928931059815479902009-10-28T13:49:00.000-07:002009-10-28T13:54:37.383-07:00FivewaysOnline.com and HoveOnline.comTwo new websites for the Brighton and Hove areas have gone live last month. www.FivewaysOnline.com and www.HoveOnline.com<br />Both are intended as community sites with Directories for businesses and the community alike, including details of community allotments, car shares, car clubs and skills trading for a cashless exchange system between locals.
