Motivation?

No doubt motivation will be the biggest hurdle for most people who own a camera. Not just getting the camera in your hand but finding something worthy of taking.

Once the novelty wains from your new camera,  and barring taking it out of it’s bag for activities like family days, past times, hobbies taking photographs that are part of your day.

Do you yearn for more?

Once you’ve taken every possible photo of your cat or dog, the car the house you need inspiration. Going out into the countryside looking for something special but rarely finding it, wishing you could just sit on a bench snapping candid’s of passer-by’s this is all become nigh impossible now.

The desire to try studio work but don’t have access to one, maybe you’ve joined the local camera club and sharing experiences but still you want more.

Professionals must find it easier!

So where do professionals get their drive from? It’s our full time occupation we’re marketing far more than we ever shoot. When we have a commission this is where we focus, we have a job to do, we need to start story building in our head, we’re looking at a brief and conceiving a master plan, then comes the execution, this is where everything we know comes into play on the day, finally the need to deliver we need a lot of keepers not just the one or two but 70-90%.

If you really want to drive your photography…

What I offer is to give you a reason to pick up your camera and shoot, I provide the briefing, the beautiful subjects and my expert guidance, you are there knowing this is for real, you can start being excited, thinking of all the shots you’d want to take and aim for photos that are keepers.

My themed workshops are here to give you excitement, a reason to use your camera a day to remember and come away empowered with confidence your photography is really just getting started.

The first in the 2010 series of workshops is being scheduled for August.

These hands-on workshops are not camera specific, nor are they about the technical aspects of your camera. Each workshop deals with the composition and seeing the light in the camera, emphasizing how create mood in the photograph. Wills starts out with the basics of using natural light how you can adapt, and create a different images with little change. He will also show how using your flash gun to add to the natural lighting can still look like there is none giving you even greater control.

It’s a jam packed workshop, with lots of chances to capture stunningly beautiful girls in a seductive location.
