Contemporary Portrait Courses - The perfect next step from the Portrait Course.

Bjorn Thomassen has won many prestigious photographic awards including the accolade of being the
- BIPP International Fine Art Photographer of the year -

Bjorn has a Fellowship in Illustrative Photography and specialises in Contemporary Portraiture.

Examples of his work and his articles have featured in many of the UK’s leading magazines and educational journals.

Bjorn has also become very popular as a speaker at both national and international training events and seminars.

These courses will be an opportunity to combine an enjoyable weekend in various locations in England with a superb course in photographic Lighting and Contemporary Portrait photography.

These courses will benefit enthusiasts, semi professionals and professionals alike. Those of you who have attended the Chris Burfoot courses will find this the perfect follow on as it will assume that you have a basic knowledge of studio lighting techniques.

Some of the subjects that we will be covering include, Fashion, High Key Venture Style, Low Key Shooting for Mood, Life Style and Environmental portraiture.

This course will provide you with a sound understanding of lighting and portraiture from basic to advanced, in styles that are both modern and saleable.

We will explore all aspects of the theoretical and practical applications that are essential to taking your portraiture to the next exciting level. You will acquire the confidence to produce great Portraits even in the most difficult lighting conditions.

This is a portfolio course that will enable you to produce your own body of work.

Typically Bjorn has two different models to provide a diversity of applications and styles. One of the models occasionally bringing her experience to the course, is Miss England finalist and cover girl Charlotte Thomson.

Bjorn covers all aspects of business, marketing and selling for those interested in establishing or increasing an income from their photography.

Bjorn considers it a personal failing, if you were unable to at least earn back the cost of this comprehensive and enjoyable weekend. If you have already established an income from photography the training is also tax deductible.

These courses are supported by Canon UK and The Flash Centre.
