Faculty & Personal Development - 2018

Personal Development - photography farm

It is also possible to earn development hours by attending credible webinars offered outside of our school. This year I attended my first wedding photography workshop called “Photography Farm“, which was a 2 day workshop held in Edinburgh, Scotland in March.  Each day was 8 hours; the first day focused on lectures given by several photographers and meetings regarding the industry’s latest software developments and camera gear.  The second day focused on stylize photo shoots that focused on the technical aspects of wedding photography in terms of lighting and exposure.
