Workshop of 5 – Final Details

Finally! The final planning has been done and most of the arrangements for the Workshop of 5 is in place. All we need is for you to book your place. 

The final dates for the workshop are the 4th and 5th of June 2010. Over the two days the workshop will take place in two different locations to boost your creativity and to give you a relaxed learning environment. The first day of the workshop will be at Cafe Felix in Riebeek Kasteel and the second day will be at Laetreuo Guesthouse in Welgemoed. These two spots are a bit apart, but the content will so be worth it. As part of the workshop, lunch and hot beverages (coffee/tea) will be served each day. The cost of this 2-day workshop is R 2500. To book your seat, e-mail me (info@duwayne.co.za) and I will send you the bank details to pay your deposit of R 1000. As the name says, there is only space for 5 photographer. The first 5 to pay their deposits, will secure their seats at the workshop. Here is a brief run down of the two days:

Day 1: Friday 4th of June

Venue: Cafe Felix, Riebeek Kasteel

Topics & Sessions: Introduction, Composition, Shooting with Natural light, Shooting with Speedlight/Video Light, Location Scouting, Posing & Directing, Photoshoot with Models, Q & A Time

Day 2: Saturday 5th of June

What’s with the name? This is a creative workshop that only 5 photographer can attend. It is easier for people to learn in smaller groups. This way I want to give input to each person attending and see where I can coach & mentor them in their area of needs.

What is the subject matter and who can attend this workshop? I will be teaching from a perspective to being a creative wedding photographer and how to apply this into your business/photography. But most of the principles and concepts can be applied to other fields of photography (like portraiture). So anyone is welcome. You will also need to know a little bit more about photography than just a hobby. See this as in investment into your photography career.

What is the aim of the workshop? To inspire, refresh and send you back with new hope and passion!

What do I need to bring along? Digital SLR camera for the photoshoot, lenses and something to make notes.

Big thank you to Helga Bridal Hair & Make-Up, Cafe-Felix and Latreou Guesthouse for helping us to make this workshop possible.  HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
