Photography Courses in Sussex 2011

Our courses have developed extremely well this year and both I and the students are thoroughly enjoying them again after a challenging year.
I am running another course on January 17th if anyone is interested and available. 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.
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.
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.

Landscape Photography Course Brighton, Sussex

See more abot our photography courses for One day in Brighton, East Sussex, here:

http://www.weddingphotographyworld.co.uk/#/courses/4524725348

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

Handmade Website Design, Brighton, for http://www.ItalianandCharming.com

Handmade is a company providing Webdesign solutions for small to medium sized Companies.

Our most recent client has been Italian and Charming Ltd, a jewellery wholesaler based on the south coast and about to step up into offices in Hatton Garden. 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.
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.
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.
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. Please see the site here. www.ItalianandCharming.com

www.WeddingPhotographyWorld.co.uk

www.WeddingPhotographyWorld.co.uk is seeking new and talented wedding photographers in the Destination Wedding Photography business. We already have some of the finest Destination Wedding Photographers in the world on the site so come and see what is happening and join us before the inevitable price increase in April.

For thos interested in Photography Courses in the UK, particularly Sussex, please see courses in the main menu relating to the one day photography courses we run around Brighton seafront in Sussex and on the Downs. There are an excellent way to get familiar with your cameras settings and understanding composure and lighting techniques with both film and digital slr's. And a great day out too!

www.WeddingVenuesWorld.com is now live and helping couples source the Venue of their hopes and dreams, and of course budgets. If you would like us to review your Wedding Venue so we can recommend it to couples making enquiries then please get in touch. Acting as an independent, third party recommendation service, we are seeking unusual and interesting Venues in particular, to join with us.

www.FivewaysPhotography.co.uk continues and headshots for actors, dancers, actresses, musicians and budding stars are always available at a very reasonable cost without compromising quality ever. We are also available for Commercial Photography and Editorial Photography in Sussex, Surrey, Kent, London and the south east, as well as Overseas such as France, Spain and Italy.

Lastly, three local sites relevant to communities in Brighton and Hove are now live; www.FivewaysOnline.com has grown very quickly and many local shops and businesses are now with us. www.KemptownOnline.net went live in the new year and is growing in challenging trading conditions and www.HoveOnline.com is also now live and seeks to distinguish Hove from Brighton and maintain its own identity which, some feel, it has lost since the City status was conferred and both towns were amalgamated into one Unitary Authority. Please take a olook.

Italian and Charming. 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.

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.

On www.WeddingPhotographyWorld.co.uk meanwhile, Elaine 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.

Photography 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. :-)

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.

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.

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.

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. See more here http://www.weddingphotographyworld.co.uk/#/courses/4524725348
