Mike OrrIf you want to know all about "Making Money from Event Photography" then come on our special Event Photography Course.

Event Photography for ProfitOur course "Event Photography for Profit" is run in conjunction with Mike Orr, Professional Photographer.

Mike has been a professional photographer for over 20 years, but has concentrated on event photography since 1995 and with his vast experience is recognised as a specialist in this field.

An entertaining and informative presenter, he has been a guest speaker at the well-known 'Nikon Solutions' exhibition at Olympia in London, as well as being asked to speak at the 'Focus on Imaging' exhibition at the N.E.C. Mike is also one of the listed guest speakers at the next SWPP/BPPA convention in London.

The course covers all aspects of event photography and a complete range of equipment from most of the major manufacturers is available for you to use on the day.

Our course is NOT a sales seminar sponsored by one manufacturer with the sole purpose of selling you equipment but a complete "insight" into making money from Event Photography by a successful Event Photographer for the last ten years.

I have experience in equestrian events but really came away with a lot
from the event photography course. How to maximise the workflow, getting
the image from the camera, enabling the customer to view and purchase
the images quickly, types of event opportunities not just in my field,
using sales techniques to enhance the prospect of a sale, marketing
tips, information on sourcing work and hands on use of the latest in
imaging equipment and thermal printers as well as a live black tie
studio set up.

Of particular note was the fact that the training course was conducted in an informal style that encouraged the participants to interact ask questions and make comments.

A fulfilling and informative day - Well recommended!
