Hi Folks,

I happened to stumble across this place on the internet the other day:

www.fridaysstudio.com.au/

Thought it looked interesting - especially with Profoto gear available for use.

Just thought I'd throw it out there as to whether the Club could consider maybe a mid-year trip to something like this for a weekend event/shoot with a few models (? a tutor) etc.?? Understand it is something the Committee would likely want to discuss?

Matt

Thanks, will pass onto the committee for consideration.

If the committee does look at something like this can I suggest they also look into what Seng Mah would cost to come and instruct. It is right up his alley.

I have checked his website and he offers several options with regards to his tutorials.
Have you guys have any ideas what you have in mind?
Regards,
Dennis

Chris' suggestion sounds great ...hopefully, the tutor may be able to recommend some models for subjects?

My thoughts would have been a portraiture focus, utilising the venue I suggested or something similar ... the offering he has here looks really interesting :

With some opportunity to work with a few models in the venue with the tutor roaming around offering advice ...

Not sure. I really haven't done anything like this before. Its an area I'm new at, but very keen to develop.

Every I've gone to an organised shoot (e.g. with the Snap Happy Group), knowledge of posing models, lighting and overall confidence in such as setting has been a bit of a barrier to the whole group - there's usually only a couple of people confident enough to take the lead.

I would envision this as an opportunity to build on these areas for members.

Other thoughts?

Hi Matt

Just a quick update - your suggestion was discussed at the committee meeting last week.

We resolved to make some enquiries with Seng regarding running a workshop later in the year.

We'll let you know how we go...

Regards, Bruce.

Matt,
Check out the forum on the Seng Mah News & Events postings, there is post form the committee with regards to the workshop.
There are also a couple of other suggestions on the same post.
