Courses for 2011 PDF Print E-mail
Well, where did the time go...?

Purbeck Light is still here, although you would be forgiven for wondering!  A combination of filming abroad, a house move, and catching up with course work for a part time photography degree have taken the edge off our planning.  We are making progess however - even if the bluebells surprised us this year and came up early...

Dates are below for this year's series of Digital SLR and Digital Workflow in Kimmeridge - and we will shortly add more dates for Holton Lee for both specialsied and beginner courses, including for compact digital cameras.  However, we are very pleased to announce a new departure: Stephen Foote will be running two two-day Lighting Workshops in Swanage.  There is a growing interest in using off camera lighting to just give that life and lift to portrait and pack shots, both in the studio and elsewhere.

Our new website with online booking and payment is almost ready - in the meantime please email or ring to book your place. We are also always happy to discuss 1:1 or small group training.

June 2011:
25th and 26th June 2011 - Introduction to Lighting.  Learn to use studio and other off camera lighting to lift your image making.  Details to follow shortly, cost will be £95 per day.  Get in touch for more details.

July 2011:
23rd July 2011: Introduction to Digital SLR, Kimmeridge. Ideal if you have just made the step to that larger camera and want to explore its potential.  £95 per head.
24th July 2011: Introduction to Digital Workflow, Kimmeridge.  A natural follow on to the Introduction to DSLR - learn to manage your images, and get a taste of editing digital photographs.  

August 2011:
21st August 2011: Introduction to Landscape Photography, Kimmeridge.   A mix of class and practical sessions at this splendid west facing beach.  If weather permits we may stay for the sunset.  £95 per head.

September 2011:
10th and 11th September 2011: a repeat of the two day Lighting Workshop in Swanage, £95 per day. CANCELLED - SORRY!
24th September 2011: Introduction to Digital SLR, Kimmeridge. Ideal if you have just made the step to that larger camera and want to explore its potential.  £95 per head.
25th September 2011: Introduction to Digital Workflow, Kimmeridge.  A natural follow on to the Introduction to DSLR - learn to manage your images, and get a taste of editing digital photographs. 

October 2011:
16th October 2011: a repeat of last year's very popular Dawn to Dusk shoot in Purbeck, starting at Corfe Castle.  £95 per head.

With access at most sites to classroom as well as practical working space, we are able to accommodate all levels of photographic student - from the absolute beginner to advanced amateur and semi-professional. Courses are aimed at digital camera users, but our tutors work extensively with film too: we are very happy for you to bring film or digital cameras but please note we have no facilities for developing and processing on site.

Our courses and workshops usually have a maximum class size of 12, with one tutor to up to four participants. Unless otherwise stated, a typical programme starts with coffee and welcome from 9.00am, ready for a 9.30 start. We stop for lunch at around 1pm, and sometimes manage to squeeze in a coffee break in morning and afternoon. Planned finish time is 5.30. Kimmeridge is slightly shorter - the centre is only open from 10am to 5pm, but we often carry on shooting after everything has been packed away.

We do also sometimes put on workshops and sessions at short notice if the light is right - subscribe to Purbeck Light's newsletter to keep in touch!

Please email for more details about courses or to book your place. Remember - we are happy to organise workshops for small groups, or even 1:1 tuition. If our planned dates don't suit you we might be able to organise something for a day that does....
 

If you're serious about photography, and you're in Swanage, make sure you take time to visit  the Photographers Lounge.
It's a small gallery, passionate about photography, which showcases a series of exhibitions throughout the year from both upcoming and established artists.
