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

Our 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.
