British Travel & Tourism photographer, Ian Brierley, is to present "Endless Summer", his workshop on speculative travel & tourism photography, as part of the www.photomart.co.uk Summer Show in London on 18 June. "Endless Summer" will teach delegates how to finance their travel through photography, as a way of life!

Ian Brierley started making money out of photography as soon as he got his first camera at the age of 15. Since then he's travelled wherever he's wanted to, whenever he's wanted to, paying his way through (often speculative) photography. He's photographed Her Majesty the Queen in Ghana, Miss Universe in Trinidad and Tobago and Miss Ghana in Accra, as well as doing an extraordinary range of other interesting and enjoyable work. His photography has illustrated a number of books.
At "Endless Summer" he'll be telling photographers how to do travel and tourism photography as working holidays – how to get airlines to sponsor flights, tourist boards and hoteliers to cover accommodation, and how to sell postcard designs and present other propositions, such as aerial photography, to potential buyers.
The workshop will include an outdoor model shoot with an exotic model, pointers on how to find models overseas, and how to shoot for their complexion in local light. Ian will also demonstrate his own technique for creating "photo paintings" from his images, and will get one of these printed to canvas during the workshop.
When he travels by van, Ian follows horse boxes, and sells event photos at equestrian shows. He'll demonstrate event photography using the ICI Olmec OP1000 PrintBox, and will show his van, fitted with a mobile digital editing suite.
Ian will give two presentations of "Endless Summer" at the London showrooms of www.photomart.co.uk as part of their SUMMER SHOW on Wednesday, June 18, 2008. The first presentation will be at 10am, or alternatively you could attend the second at 2pm. (You should bring your camera to this workshop.) Tickets, priced at just £50 + VAT, may be purchased through the www.photomart.co.uk website. Just type SUMMER08 in the www.photomart.co.uk Search Box. Your ticket will enable you to attend one other workshop at the SUMMER SHOW for free.
