How do I get FULL control of my camera? - shooting in full manual - but with clarity and purpose When is the ‘correct’ exposure not the RIGHT one and why is my camera confused? And more importantly, how to fix it in camera? How do you capture genuine emotion and NOT just fake smiles? No more 'smile for Mummy' How to make your light AND SHADOWS work for you? and capture stunning images even if you think you have barely any light What makes a ‘strong image’ and how do I begin to get them more consistently? INSIDE THE MODULES - aka WHAT DO YOU LEARN? Module 1: Getting started in Manual mode First steps into shooting in full manual – understanding your exposure and metering, finding correct exposure for your subject, handling over and under exposure and adjusting your settings without even taking your camera away from your eyes. Major Takeaways: At the end of the module you will have gained full control of your camera - no more guessing game and unpredictable results with all the control going firmly to you. You will be able to understand your jump off points for different situations and how to adjust them to the changing light or environment Module 2: More on manual exposure and why your camera is often wrong Learning when the ‘correct’ exposure is not the “right exposure”, understanding and interpreting your histograms, learning how your environment can help you get the right exposure even in tricky light, dealing with challenging light situations. Major Takeaways: Knowing when to trust and not trust your camera's exposure assessment. Knowing exactly how to adjust things when the images don't turn out looking right out of the camera. Having a method to help you capture different colour accurately - especially when it comes to skin tones, or elements that are bright or dark Module 3: Powerful composition  Learning what makes a strong image and learning to create your own, consistently, with the help of our advanced composition techniques – beyond the rule of thirds. Visual storytelling and creating connection to create images which go beyond just pretty. Major Takeaways: Learning new concepts in composition - things that will help you create exiting visual flow, help with impactful storytelling and draw the viewer's eye into the image rather than away from it.  Next course starts on 15th April 2024Get your space now Module 4: No such thing as bad light There is no such thing as bad light - even with just a sliver of it you can make a statement in your images. In this module we teach you how to work with low light - through low key photography - playing with light and shadows. And we give you an introduction to Flash - for when you want to boost your existing natural light that little bit more.    Major Takeaways: You will learn how to use light and shadows to your advantage, literally learning to paint with light - letting it uncover your subject, and hide what you want to stay out of light. Much like the light module in our Fundamentals course this is very much an AH-HA lesson that will shake your photography to its core. Module 5: Photographing emotions  In this module we get under our subject's skin and focus on photographing emotions. We show you how to reply on more than facial expression to show emotions and how to use your creative toolkit, including colour theory to make the viewer see and understand the emotion felt in the moment.  Major Takeaways: Learning how to capture genuine connection with your subject and their true emotions – whether happy or mad! Going beyond the smiles or frowny faces to portray your children’s true selves and capturing the moment. Using body language and other creative means – from colour theory, editing style and more! BONUS Module 6: Your creative self Exploring various photographic styles and conventions. Learning to recognise your own strengths and weaknesses and taking steps to grow further. Bonus creative exercises to take you outof your rut and help you continue to grow your photography. In my opinion Advanced level 2 is absolute must as it expand the knowledge from level 1 to the point, that you can take photos confidently, and knowing what you do. I did it online and my teachers were superb, passionate, helpful and very flexible.  Aga Stefaniak Photography for Parents ADVANCED Book your space now: COURSE STARTS : 15th April 2024( 6 weeks incl 1 week break)COURSE COST :   £279 (payment plans available) What’s included: 6 weekly modules covering all key aspects of children’s photography, weekly live online class ( also recorded) - on Wednesday evenings personal feedback and advice on your images private support group PDF workbook Photography for Parents ADVANCED But will it work for me? - our guarantee: We know our course works.

Ros is superlative. A calm, confident and articulate trainer...J YAP, THERAPIST Why take this course Clients suffering from Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) or who have experienced trauma in a shutdown or dissociative state, can present unique challenges to practitioners working with them – but with the right knowledge and skills we can help sufferers move forward in their lives. In this hands-on, experiential workshop you will learn more about what makes trauma ‘complex’, why shutdown or dissociation are often experienced by sufferers, and how to best work with such presentations using the Human Givens framework of understanding. You will also have the chance to collaborate with other experienced practitioners and clinicians during exercises designed to further your understanding, add to your existing skillsets, and bring wider context to an often-misunderstood area of work. During this intensive day of live, in-person training, experienced psychotherapist Ros Townsend will introduce you to a framework within which you can set your understanding of complex trauma presentations and discover the opportunities that we have to help clients move forward from their difficulties. You will learn more about the neurobiology of the automatic survival options that we have available to us, especially dissociative and ‘shutdown’ states, and leave with an understanding of how to use this knowledge to inform your work, giving you greater confidence to work creatively and flexibly with such presentations. From understanding the symptoms that are now recognised as distinguishing C-PTSD, to adapting existing HG techniques and strategies and introducing new tools and skills, this course will explore how we, as clinicians, can approach such complex presentations without getting lost in the complexity ourselves. Using case histories and discussion you will have the chance to understand more about the unique challenges that such work presents and to leave feeling more confident in your ability as a therapist to work effectively and contextually with these. Such a thought-provoking and informative day. Complex PTSD is a real buzz word at present, this took the mystery out of it in a clear and understandable way – highly recommend...MELISSA DERRICOURT What will you learn What Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) is What other symptoms a client may present with in addition to those meeting the criteria for ‘classic’ PTSD How to effectively work with these within the Human Givens framework of understanding Vital tools for psycho-education – both adding to your own understanding and to pass on to clients Why individuals enter into a dissociative or ‘shutdown’ state The difference between ‘freeze’ and ‘shutdown’ Why anger can present when an individual comes out of a ‘shutdown’ state How to help a client deal effectively with anger if it does arise The crucial role of the pattern-matching processes in the brain in post-traumatic stress symptoms – and how the kinds of templates stored can subtly differ in more complex trauma How to adapt existing techniques – such as rewind and deconditioning molar memories – to work creatively with such presentations The Dos and Don’ts when working with Guided Imagery in complex presentations How to refine your Guided Imagery skillset to powerfully benefit clients who have experienced trauma in a shutdown state Why any work that we do must be informed by the innate ability we all have to recover from trauma How to avoid negatively reframing trauma and making symptoms worse The most effective ways to help clients towards recovery and post-traumatic growth Under careful guidance from the tutor, you will: Explore and discuss the different survival options available to us as humans in traumatic situations Learn more about the neurobiology of these states – including our passive survival responses Develop a new framework of understanding within which to set your work with all kinds of trauma Understand more about why ‘shutdown’ or ‘dissociation’ are often associated with complex presentations Understand why addictions and self-harming behaviours are often a part of the picture Work collaboratively with peers and colleagues to extend and develop your own skillsets and knowledge Explore how guided imagery can be adapted and used to most powerfully benefit clients suffering in this way You will leave with: The confidence to work creatively and flexibly with a wider range of presentations A clear understanding of a framework within which you can work and continue to develop and adapt your tools and skillsets An appreciation of the importance of taking your time with such work and proceeding at a pace right for each individual client An understanding of how to support clients in moving forward from the use of faulty coping strategies – such as addiction and self-harm Greater confidence in creating metaphors that work powerfully for clients An understanding of how helping a client to meet their emotional needs is particularly key to recovery in the most complex cases Throughout the day there will be plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions and to engage in collaborative work and discussion with the tutor and with experienced colleagues and practitioners. Important note Working with Complex PTSD requires specific skills and experience and thus is only suitable for practitioners either already working in this area and looking to extend their skillset or those who are already practicing as therapists and wish to begin working in this area. If you are an experienced practitioner from another modality, we recommend you familiarise yourself a little with the HG approach before you attend, see: About HG therapy, benefits of the approach, and what is RIGAAR. Who is this course suitable for? Any qualified therapist working with distressed or traumatised people. In order to take full benefit from the course, you will ideally have already taken our Guided Imagery and Visualisation for therapeutic change and Rewind Technique workshops. NB If you are an experienced practitioner from another modality, we recommend you familiarise yourself a little with the HG approach before you attend, see: About HG therapy, benefits of the approach, and what is RIGAAR. Any qualified practitioner in the field of psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy or counselling can attend; again you would benefit most by having previously attended our Guided Imagery and Visualisation and Rewind Technique workshops and familiarising yourself a little with the HG approach to therapy.

INSIDE THE MODULES - aka WHAT DO YOU LEARN? Module 0: Getting set up in Lightroom This module is released a week before the course starts to give you a chance to fully familiarise yourself with the layout, structure and the best way of working in Lightroom Classic, including guidance of creating a smooth selection and culling process that helps you see and keep the best of your images, without getting bogged down with 100s near duplicates. Module 1: Getting Started In Lightroom - Global Edits In this module we introduce you to Lightroom's most powerful tools - the global edits. We help you understand how to tweak your images to achieve the effects you're after quickly - from adjusting over and under exposure, to correcting white balance in a few different ways, to having a play with my favourite Lightroom tool - the tone curve. Major Takeaways: At the end of the module you will have gained full control of lightroom key global tools and will be able to use them to correct any global - as in affecting the whole image - issues with your images. This includes perfecting your exposure, balancing your colour and white balance, sharpening and creating clarity and more. Module 2: Targeted Edits - Masks!  Lightroom allows us to apply edits to selected parts of the image through a range of its very powerful, intelligent and manual masks. This means you can now effortlessly select your subject from the photo to adjust them separately with just one click, you can pick only the sky, the subject's eyes or only colour green or any other element and treat them differently to the rest.  Major Takeaways: You will be able to use the full range of masks in lightroom and apply your edits exactly where they are needed, and nowhere else. This includes working with with the new AI powered masks which can detect a person's individual features and allow you to selectively edit them in a few simple steps, as well as those more manual tools, that allow you to literally paint with light and colour on your photographs. Module 3: Creative Editing in Lightroom  This is a brand new module in our course where we take all the tools introduced in Modules 1 and 2 and actually use them to achieve different effects on our photos. Wer show you how to be guided by light when editing, how to achieve a light and airy or a moody edit on your images, how to add light and how to convert to black and white, as well as how to edit skin in Lightroom! This module is all play!  Major Takeaways: You will learn how to create yoru own editing process - from knowing where to start and to understanding what elements of your photograph may need or benefit from adjusting and knowing how you can do so to achieve different outcomes. You will also learn how to edit your skin tones so they look delightful - no matter what your subject's complexion.  Module 4: After the edits We close the course with a module centered around all the things you might want to do after the edits - from preparation for print, creating photo books, but also sharing your images online and syncing them between different machines and adobe workplaces. PLUS there is a little Photoshop intro so you get a glimpse at how it's different and what it can do.    Major Takeaways: You will learn how to connect all of your Adobe ecosystem and sync and share your images across multiple devices. You will learn how to prepare your images for print so they look their very best and how to create photobooks. Next course starts 11 March 2024 Absolutely, without a doubt book Editing. I was very unsure at first. My interest in photography is to capture those memories so it felt like it was 'cheating' to edit. I can honestly say it's like magic.To finish off the pictures you love and just give you complete control over the exposure, colours to make them perfect, to rescue the disasters etc. I learnt so much in those few weeks and it made the biggest difference to my photos.  Kerry White Editing in LIGHTROOM Book your space now: COURSE STARTS : 11 March 2024 ( 4 weeks + 1 prep week)COURSE COST : £179 ( payment plans available ) What’s included: 4 weekly modules with step by step illustrated tutorials and videos + prep module weekly edit along class online class ( also recorded) - on Wednesday evenings feedback and advice on your edits private support group PDF workbook and downloadable videos Practice images to learn on Join our next group to really bring life to your images and make them look sleep, polished and full of light COURSE PREREQUISITES: Lightroom or Lightroom Classic CC software installed on your computer or tablet.
