  • Mike Lester’s Location Photography Workshop allows for the advancement of a photographer’s knowledge & skills, this time dealing with situations & lighting outside of a studio environment. Mike cleverly starts the session by simply asking the photographer to take a photo & explain what they are doing & why they are doing it. Having assessed the photographer’s current level of understanding, Mike instantly customises the rest of the evening to expand on your own existing knowledge. He doesn’t repeat things he has established you already know, but instead begins to explain different lighting techniques for outdoor composition & your learning of new skills begins straight away. Mike’s knowledge of the local area means that in the 3 hours of the tutorial you will have shot in 4 different locations (admittedly, one of them is his garden!). Each area provides a different environment, different challenges & different techniques for lighting your subject (in this case, Mike’s wonderful model, Diane). Mike will provide explanations regarding not only use of different equipment, but use of different locations and available light. You will realise that by employing different techniques you can get very different photos with the model not having moved an inch. The picturesque rural scenery used means you will come away with photos that will truly complement your portfolio. Paul, York
