ImageMX Photography Trainings Day 2015

Colin : February 21, 2013 3:31 pm : Events

MX Photography & Off Camera Flash Training – First date for 2015, 5th August

Well here’s your chance to learn how to shoot one of the most exciting motorsports close up… MX & how to use Off Camera Flash to make your shots of MX & any other sport stand out above your competitors…

The day is for both amatuer & professional photographers. The day will be spent at one of the UK’s premier tracks, Washbrook Farm MX, near Chatteris, Cambs. The training courses are designed to cover all aspects of shooting MX & the use of Off Camera Flash, both techniques which can be used for any sport.ImageMX Photography

My love for OCF started about 5 years ago when I saw some images shot by a surfing photographer.. I wondered whether this could be adapted for MX, since then we have been working on our system, producing some stunning images along the way. The day will cover how to use lighting to make your images even more stunning, for event photographers, this will be a handy tool to make you stand out & produce more profits. As I have said, this style of shooting works for all, simple example is the image at the begining of the blog… simple rider & bike shot, but something a little special with the lighting, covering a football tournament? stick a kid 45 degrees to a goal, one foot on ball, ask him to give some attitude, take shot, no parent will walk away without that image.. Mountain biking, canoeing, rugby, anything… it all works.

ImageMX PhotographyNow MX… what a sport, fast, exciting, muddy, dramatic… but great fun. this is a great sport to shoot. The day will give you a chance to work on track, feet from the riders. We will cover the safety side of shooting MX, where your safe & the definate no no’s of safety. I be showing you how to get 10 shots out of every corner or jumps, leaving you more quality images to sell to your customers. All shot using the OCF system

Later in the day we will have a little time on how to cover an event in a productive & effeceint system, showing all aspects of how to make money from your hobby, saves you making all the mistakes I did to start with.

Then the main part of the shoot, at 3.30 we will start the final photoshoot session, hopefully using the fenland sunset as the backdrop to some dramatic shots… The day will end around 4.30..
