Sometimes, the simplest photos are the hardest ones to take. How do you make an impeccable portrait of a loved-one or of a friend on the spot, and with only the help of natural lighting? Basically, how do you manage without a studio and all its controllability, and end up satisfied with an expressive and successful portrait?It is essential to take the environment into consideration when composing a portrait. Managing the background's colours and graphics, choosing the point of view, directing the model - these are all points that will be covered during the course.Light control is an equally important aspect; in particular, analysing a given moment's light and using it wisely are elements that will be explained to help you make a successful portrait.This workshop will teach you:- How to observe the environment so as to guide your aesthetic choices: point of view, directing a model- How to "read" light and place your subject accordingly- How to correctly define parameters in your camera according to your desired result- How to frame and compose an image to highlight the subjectThe workshop includes a theoretical explanation, a main "practical" part, as well as a class debriefing at the end. Pre-requisites for this workshop:
Having difficulty implementing '5S'? This workshop focuses on how to make '5S' meaningful to people, and how to link it with company goals. “5S, that’s just all about keeping things organized and tidy, isn’t it? Or maybe you have heard someone say: “Why make a big deal out of cleaning up?” But 5S is not really about the aesthetics of the work place, or even about the efficiency gains you will achieve (typically, 10% to 30% can be easily achieved). The real benefit of 5S is the introduction of standardised operational practices to ensure efficient, ergonomic, repeatable, safe ways of working. This brings many benefits: higher quality, lower costs, reliable deliveries, increased morale, and improved safety … to name but a few. It will also result in a highly visual workplace which contributes to achieving one of the most important results of 5S : making problems immediately obvious. 5S works by helping the team eliminate the seven wastes of lean manufacturing: Waste in Transport, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Over-processing, Overproduction, and Defects.It is therefore one of the most powerful Lean Tools, and provides a stable foundation upon which to build all of your other improvement programs, Lean Tools and Practices. It is also one of the simplest to implement, and can be applied within your manufacturing environment, office processes or even within a service industry. 5S is a team approach and requires the participation of everyone within the area in which it is applied to be effective. Structure of the Course This one day course will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the 5S Process and how you can implement it to your organization. It's approach is based on the experienced gained by implementing '5S' in many organizations. It focuses on highlighting what makes '5S' programmes fail, how to engage your personnel in defining and deploying your '5S' strategy, and how to sustain it over time. This workshop looks at '5S' as an integral part of your day to day operational management system, rather than an activity to be managed as a stand alone project. Who Would Benefit from this 8D Approach? Owner-managers, managers at all levels in the organisation, especially team leaders, supervisors and middle managers.

Drive improvement with our one-day Process Mapping workshop. Our Process Mapping Training course has been designed as a one-day programme so that your business may use Process Mapping as THE TOOL to drive improvement. The techniques explained in this practical "hands-on" workshop will yield real, timely, and motivating results. A process map is a visual tool used to illustrate your core processes. It is essentially a breakdown of a process to determine how it flows and, ultimately, how effective it is. Those who use PROCESS MAPPING look closely at elements such as the structure of a system and the flow of communication within the system. It is therefore a communication tool, a planning tool, and a tool to drive unnecessary waste and cost out of your organisation. It is also a practical tool to help you identify and address core problems in your organisation. PROCESS MAPPING is an essential and critical stage in the search for performance improvement. Yet the approach is not widely recognized or understood. PROCESS MAPPING will help managers and staff alike discover what the process is currently like, what are the Value Added, the Non-value Added, and the Value Enabling activities, and how to identify opportunities for improvement as you map out how the process should look like Whether delivering a service or producing a product, successful organisations are in continual pursuit of better, faster and cheaper way of delivering satisfaction to their customers. PROCESS MAPPING will provide organizations with an agreed and accurate understanding of their current processes, and will therefore provide new sources of rich stimulation for ideas to solve problems, find improvements, and map what the process should look like. It is therefore a foundation upon which many organizations then develop and implement many other Lean tools. PROCESS MAPPING is also a key tool used in the design and implementation of a robust Quality Operating System. The International Organization for Standardization or ISO 9001 encourages a process approach to quality management as it helps in the understanding of how each process relates to other processes within the organization and how those interactions impact Quality Management. This workshop can also be delivered in-house as a stand-alone training workshop or integrated into wider improvement activities.
