Behind the scenes from a recent studio hire

On Tuesday we hired the studio out to photographer Wayne Matthews-Stroud and James Allwright from Kings Colleges – an international education company that offers academic and English studies to students from around the world. They were producing some shots for their summer vacation courses marketing material. The photos will be appearing in the international education trade magazine, Language Travel Magazine , and this month is part of 12 months of individually-themed photo shoots.

Kings Suitcase shoot

This first shoot of their campaign featured a still life of a suitcase stuffed full of sporting equipment; an exaggerated image designed to show off the wide range of activities students can enjoy while on their vacation courses. This week we’ve also had Tom Chambers, a student from the University of Brighton in on work experience; who was able to film and edit the behind the scenes video and create a time-lapse of some of the individual product shots too, and we hope to get him videoing on the next shoot

Garage Studios featured in Digital Photographer Magazine

We seem to be on a roll at the moment and for a Brighton Photography Studio, we sure are getting a lot of national media coverage.

This time, we have an amazing 4 page spread in Digital Photographer Magazine. Yep that’s right, we did say 4 page spread! They asked us to do a shortened version of one of our brilliant photography courses for one lucky reader.

So we chose the expert (that’ll be K. Mason) and Digital Photographer Mag chose the reader to do a condensed version of the Studio Lighting Course.

We supplied a model for the day as well as the expert tutorship, more studio lights that you can shake a stick at, as well as a few coloured backdrops. The reader, who only usually shoots landscapes, and had no knowledge of studio lighting; spent the best part of the day, immersed in the wonderful world of lighting and all that it offers. The reader hadn’t really shot with a model before so that came as an added bonus for him.

We were all very pleased with the final results that he got, and he demonstrated a good understanding of light, that had been picked up from knowing how light falls on landscapes.

We can’t show you the full article, until next month, but if you want to pick up a copy of the magazine have a look at their website for more info.

If you’d like to do the Studio Lighting Course., the next date is 4th & 5th July, and we are taking bookings now. Look here for more info:
