Garage Studios

Last week we covered the Wired Sussex Skills & Jobs Fair as official event photographers. The day was a great success with lots of interesting talks, some of Brighton’s best new media companies were there and many more attendees than last time.

We also took the Garage Studios Pop Up Studio along and shot the great and good, you can see the shots of the Pop Up Studio here.

There is also a bit more about the day on the Wired Sussex Blog.

Here are some of the images from the event:

Our in-house Fashion Photographer Kevin Mason has been updating his website portfolio this week- there is more to follow soon- but with the upcoming Fashion Editorial course on the 20th/21st March, we thought we would give you a little taster of his work. There are still a very limited number of places on this course, but if you have ever been interested in how a fashion shoot works, and would like to potentially submit your work to Magazines/Websites then this is the course for you. We provide Models, Stylists, Make-Up Artists and two expert tutors for the full two days. We dont know of anyone else in the UK offering a course of this detail, with such a qualified team. Please go here for further details.

At Garage we really believe in pushing others creative photography in as many different ways as we can, whether its through our courses, 1:1 training, internships, portfolio advice etc.

We also sponsor some individuals and collectives to help them achieve their goals through free equipment hire, studio hire and scanning/printing or technical advice. and have just started to sponsor a 3rd yr Degree student at Brighton University (more details soon) and provided free technical help and studio hire to an MA Student who is doing great studio work for those with Learning Difficulties.

One of the other projects we help sponsor is GangUp Magazine, founded by one of our in -house photographers Kevin Mason. We dont have any control over editorial content- but offer full use of the studio, our cameras and free lighting hire. Issue 1 of this bespoke magazine sold out within weeks of its release and the team are busy finalising Issue 2.

We are happy to support them as the team of 5 produce, pay for and cast all the shoots themselves and are getting some great editorial images and seem to be leading the way for Fashion Photography in Brighton. The magazine this issue has a guest photographer 18 yr old student Eleni Mettyear, as well as shoots by Kevin Mason, Louie Banks and Sam Hiscox, with concepts and styling from the other 2 founders Emma SandhamKing and Stevi Jelbart of Ophelia Fancy fame.

The next issue is scheduled to Launch at the end of March, and no doubt there will be another riotous party. If you want to keep up to date with them as they shoot then you can via their blog. Please be aware we dont have any editorial control, and all links may be Not Safe For Work

If you would like to learn how to shoot Fashion Editorial with Kevin Mason we have space on our next course- details of which can be found here.
