Hi and thanks for dropping by today, my name is Chris Martin a full time Professional Wedding Photographer in Kent. I offer bespoke Wedding Photography courses and training to help you improve your wedding photography or gain the knowledge and experience to start in the Wedding Photography industry. I work with complete beginners covering camera settings all the way up to advanced off camera lighting, if weddings are not your thing thats fine as the principles we cover can be used for fashion, portrait or even glamour photography.
My monthly run courses are not the usual that you will see advertised as I concentrate on having smaller groups or in some cases 1 to 1 training if you would prefer I can tailor courses to cover the points you need rather than spending hours and £'s of your money covering elements you already have a grasp of.
I am completely flexible as to what elements we cover and to what degree, it really is a completely bespoke and flexible solution.
So what can we cover on the course ?, well below are just a few of the items that can be offered on the courses. I work with people that have had no experience in photography all the way up to seasoned Pro's looking to expand their knowledge and creativity. In addition to this I offer tuition in using Lightroom for those looking to polish their editing skills.
Camera Settings - Whether you shoot in Auto mode or prefer full blown manual we can look at how you use the camera and expand your knowledge of when and how to use your camera to make the very most of it and improving the images you can capture.
Use of natural light - This is a very important but underused aspect of wedding photography, 
you will find most wedding photographers grabbing for the speedlights at every opportunity. Using natural light and learning how to meter and shape it using reflectors will increase your creativity ten fold and of course produce stunning photos.
Composition - We have all seen the same old wedding photos again and again with the same composition and lets face it how boring is it getting. We can look at using different angles to make sure your images stand out from the crowd and that will have clients knocking your door down.
Off Camera Flash- This will take your photography to a new dimension!, learn to use this method of lighting and when to use it to maximise the impact of your wedding photographs.
ISO/Shutter Speed/Aperture- learn how they all work and the affect they have on your photography. Once mastered you can take control of your photography and capture the images you want rather that what lady luck gives you.
Posing Your Subject - So often you will see a great image with a really lame pose, learn
how to get the best from your subject and work on the strengths they have. This will ensure you images are not only WOW but also technically amazing!
Courses can be offered in Kent, London, Essex, Sussex and Surrey. All of the locations and models will be supplied and arranged by me so you just need to turn up on the day with your camera equipment. I have on the odd occasion been know to shout a round of beers at the local pub during lunch as well :).
The cost for this bespoke training is £395.00 per day and this includes breakfast and lunch, dont delay get in contact today!!
Please contact me today if you would like to make a booking or discuss your training in more detail.
Thanks
Chris Martin
