“LIGHT MAKES PHOTOGRAPHY. EMBRACE LIGHT. ADMIRE IT. LOVE IT. BUT ABOVE ALL, KNOW LIGHT. KNOW IT FOR ALL YOU ARE WORTH, AND YOU WILL KNOW THE KEY TO PHOTOGRAPHY.” – GEORGE EASTMAN [https://www.quotemaster.org/qd77d34daa3f37ebc15b95adf3b4703b7]" -  PHOTOGRAPHY FOR PARENTS - SHOOTING WITH FLASH NEXT COURSE STARTS ON MONDAY 12TH FEB 2024 Scared of Flash? Never got good results from it? Not sure how it works with your camera? Thinking it’s bound to be complicated and just for studio work? This is the course for you! We show you how to work your flash and your camera – on and off camera! - to get great, natural looking results. In this course you'll discover how to use flash not just to supplement light in dim spaces, but to use it creatively, to help you create images you wouldn't be able to capture with just natural light.  KEY COURSE INFO: * Course type: Instructor-led * Course duration: 4 weeks * Course format: Online course with interactive live webinar classes, feedback on your learning and support group WHAT YOU LEARN: You will learn how to make your flash work with your camera and how to control it so that it gives you beautiful, natural looking light You will learn to work with the flash off camera - giving you the freedom to position your light wherever it will most suit your subject rather than relying on what you have with natural or indoor light You will learn to play with flash to capture a variety of creative outcomes and apply it to lots of shooting situations - from learning to fake pretty window light to freezing motion with Flash * understanding flash equipment * learning to shoot with on-camera flash * earning to shoot with off-camera flash * learning to bounce the light for natural looking results * using flash as a sole or supplementary light source * freezing movement with flash where the shutter speed wont allow it THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU IF : * You find yourself struggling with light especially in the darker autumn / winter months, and there never seems to be enough ISO or aperture to get you what you want * You can already use your camera in manual and want to add mastery of detachable flash to your skillset - so you can never worry about insufficient or poor light wherever you are, or whatever unknown space you go into * You want to be able to make flash images look natural rather than sporting that famous 'deer in the headlights look. A good flash image never 'looks' like a flash image * You want to learn how to capture creative images using a flash - such as freezing motion, creating dramatic shadows, or adding a splash of light to specific areas of the frame. * You want to add this versatile skill to your toolbox so you can adapt it to different shooting scenarios.

And to a degree – they can be true – but only because, if you don’t know how to control and work any tool, it’s likely to give you terrible outcomes – remember how much poorer your photos were when you first started with your camera on full auto? Here is how I see Flash, and what this course is about: * Flash lets me bring light where there would normally be not enough light available to take a well exposed photo – and let me tell you – in glorious British weather, that’s more often that I would like! * Flash lets me shape the light to suit my needs – I can make it moody or bright, I can even make it look like natural light ( yes really) * Flash lets me neutralise ugly light and make it look good ( anybody else cursed with ugly spotlight lights in their home? no? just me? ) * Flash lets me be in control, especially in unknown venues and locations, spaces where I won’t get a chance at that second shot. * Flash helps me fill in shadows when shooting in very bright light – the goal is not to stop using natural light, but to help create a balanced image where natual light alone can't cut it COURSE PREREQUISITES YOUR SKILLS: We recommend that you are comfortable in shooting in full manual mode. It's possible to use flash in priority modes of course, but you don't have full control of its strength and level. YOUR EQUIPMENT: You will need to have a detachable flash for your camera make. This could be the same brand as your camera or a compatible third party flash manufacturer.  You will also need a way of triggering your flash OFF camera - in some cases, you may be able to do this directly from camera or via an additional remote trigger / controller. Click here to see our Flash buying guide below [https://photographyforparents.co.uk/shooting-with-flash/#tve-jump-1887bb96361] SHOOTING WITH FLASH BOOK YOUR SPACE NOW: COURSE STARTS : 12TH FEB 2024 ( 4 WEEKS) COURSE COST : £179 ( PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE ) WHAT’S INCLUDED: * 4 weekly modules with step by step tutorials * weekly live class online class ( also recorded) - on Tuesday evenings * feedback and advice on your photos * private support group * PDF workbook  Join our next group to learn how to never have to deal with insufficient light and discover a whole new area of photography! INSIDE THE MODULES - AKA WHAT DO YOU LEARN? MODULE 1: GETTING STARTED WITH FLASH In this module we introduce you to the principles of making your flash work with your camera. We show you how the two work together in layering exposures, how you can control both the flash and natural light side and how to achieve predictable outcomes from your flash. This is the biggest learning curve because the way you work your camera with flash is very different to how you do this with just natural light and understanding the control side of things will let you get creative afterwards.  MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: At the end of the module you will have gained an understanding of how to work your flash ON your camera. With that, you will have learned how to balance your key light and your fill light, how to combine flash exposure with a natural light exposure, how to supplement or even replace light with flash light. You will also make first steps into bouncing the light to give it a more natural appearance.  MODULE 2: TAKING YOUR FLASH OFF CAMERA  In this module we teach you how to make your flash work when detached from your camera. We look at different techniques and methods or shooting off camera as well as any additional equipment you may need for this. We teach you how to use that off camera flash for a number of practical and creative examples MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: You will be able to use the flash off camera - whatever your preferred off camera methos. We will explore using off camera flash as the key light - creating low key and high key images, as fill light and as a supplementary light to provide additional dimension to the images.  MODULE 3: MAKING FLASH LOOK NATURAL  In this module we learn to recognise how you can adjust the very quality of your flash to create natural looking images. We learn how to bend - or bounce the light - on and off camera, to create the kind of images that noone would ever suspect of being taken with flash. We also introduce you to a number of light modifiers and show you what you can expect from them as well as what might work in the way you take the photos.  MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: Learn how to modify your flash to achieve soft or hard light look. Discover how to bounce your flash and where from and how the angle of those flash bounces will give your subject very different looks. Learn about light fall-off and how to apply this principle to achieve more or less contrast filled images when using flash/  MODULE 4:FLASH AND MOTION In this module we show you how to use flash when trying to freeze your subject - whether it is your child bouncing on the soufe in dim Novemeber light or an inanimate object making a splash. We also introduce you to a few way you can play with flash and your shutter speed to achieve fun and creative outcomes.   MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: You will learn how to freeze movement with flash - even on very slow shutter speeds or in very poor light. You will learn how shutter and flash work together and how you can achieve great creative outcomes such as high speed photography or freezing rain.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEXT COURSE STARTS ON 12 FEB 2024

Aspire Consulting and Training Ltd is indisputably at the forefront of Transformative Coachingworldwide. We have a commitment to prepare individuals as coaches to achieve sustainable change for the people around them, so that they are being developed and supporting many types of growth. Achieved through a process of heightening awareness and deepening learning, this differs from other coaching methodologies that employ a tactical or remedial approach more useful in trouble-shooting and problem solving.   As people pursue coach training, they want a program with high standard, proven methodology and worldwide recognition. The TAP-C™ Model is a globally delivered program that enhances professional coaching industry standards. Our certification training program offers a fresh, leading edge approach to enable authentic and deliberate change.   We offer the ultimate solution to maximise human capital. Businesses are expecting their managers to devote an ever-increasing portion of their time to coach others and this is a trend that will only continue to expand. The challenges have never been greater for achieving results through people, and coaching will remain a vital leadership skill for the decades to come. A proven strategy for creating sustained growth, coaching enables superior performance of individuals, teams, and whole organisations.    The TAP-C™ Model is not just a new methodology or trend; it is more of a tool that drives a positive change. It helps people gain clarifications through meaningful conversations. It promotes learning by stimulating people to think through about their situation and urges them to take initiatives. Coaching is all about making people realise what needs to be modified and offer them appropriate support to bring about a change.    "Coaching is about influencing individuals to make conscious, empowered decisions to become leaders in their own lives. It is a process that occurs in a special conversation that enables learning and development and thus improves performance. It is a way of working with people that leaves them more competent and more fulfilled so that they are more able to contribute and find meaning in what they are doing."   Jay Acharya   The TAP-C™ Model incorporates a blend of coaching, mentoring and counselling, that, although considered different, share some key characteristics and skills to always support positive outcomes.    Coaching involves the belief that the individual has the answers to their own problems within, and need the focus to unlock their own potential.  Mentoring is like coaching, with a general agreement that a mentor can partner in some way to help expedite any decision making.  Counselling is closer to a therapeutic intervention. Focusing on past situations and identify ways to overcome barriers, that may be internal or external.   Our TAP-C™ Model therefore truly incorporates what we know to be an Influencing and Empowered approach to Coaching in the following way: We will explore the supporting principles of a coach and the guiding principles of a mentor, by using practical methods to help you become more effective and confident.    The purpose of this training to improve your performance at the same time of improving other abilities and create a cultured and productive working atmosphere. The core objective of the course is to enable you to set and achieve organisational, departmental and personal goals, by communicating clearly with their teams, managing time more effectively and prioritising work so that achieving an organisational strategy is more of a fluid approach.   Aims and Objectives                             The sessions focus on the theoretical aspects of empowering people in an organisation, by increasing the awareness of current competencies and abilities. The programme will meet all the objectives outlined below: * Gain a greater understanding of organisational activities * How the TAP-C™ Model can be used to develop a person and a team * Establish how to know when to be a coach, mentor and councillor * The behaviour’s of being a confident coach * How to help a person recognise their strengths and developmental areas  * How to create and develop an empowered structured organisation

This six-week course explores the unique aesthetic and tactile character of photochemical moving-image film. Employing a DIY, hands-on-approach, this course will celebrate the wonderful qualities of film and ask, ‘what are the aesthetic and political reasons artists’ continue to make work engaging these methodologies, in a climate of digital prevalence?’ Together, we will watch and discuss a number of groundbreaking films drawn from the historical canon of experimental cinema. Taking creative inspiration from this work, we will explore the beautiful tactile materiality of the analogue filmstrip through a series of practical activities and experiments. We will delve into artisanal, hands-on-techniques in order to shoot, hand-process and project the 8mm films we make. You will also cultivate an invaluable practical knowledge relating to the apparatus of the experimental practitioner; the camera and the projector. We will cover how to choose, operate and maintain this equipment, and we will look at creative and performative ways that the manipulation of the projection medium can enhance your work.   Week 1: Introduction to the course and the structure Screening of seminal experimental works followed by a discussion around analogue practises and processes. What is so special about analogue film? What is experimental film, and in what ways is it relevant today? Week 2: Cameraless Filmmaking Working directly onto 16mm filmstrip to create a collective, abstract film. Making in dialogue with a piece of music (translating sound into image) we will paint, etch and collage onto the celluloid, and engage creatively with the repurposing of archival material. Week 3: Introduction to Super 8 Cameras, history, techniques, methodology If you have your own Super8 camera in good working order, you are encouraged to bring it along to the session. Week 4 & 5 (same day): Shooting a cartridge of B&W Super 8 film | Hand processing Super 8 film Working in pairs, participants will collaborate on shooting a short film in the historic old town of Edinburgh. We will explore different styles and techniques, with support on-hand to offer guidance and help troubleshoot as necessary. Using a DIY approach, we will hand process our films in eco-friendly chemistry. This tactile method is a lot of fun, and offers the chance to really engage with the magic materiality of film! Often creating unexpected results and imperfect beauty, we will embrace the unique aesthetic features this technique affords. Week 6: Introduction to projection equipment and beyond… Preparing film for projection.
