• Jon Gray To Present Workshop at Photomart Summer show! – Successful fashion and advertising photographer, Jon Gray (who teaches photography at the American University in London), has been confirmed for the www. photomart .co.uk SUMMER SHOW in London (on June 18, 2008). This has kindly been enabled by sponsorship from BOWENS. Jon will present one of his popular lighting workshops, using his experience – and extensive knowledge of equipment – to teach you techniques from fashion and advertising that you can apply in your own portrait and wedding business.

Jon Gray's career in photography already spans more than three decades. His client list includes, amongst others, Gucci and Saatchi & Saatchi. He's the author of a number of books and DVDs, and now teaches Fashion & Advertising Photography at the American University in London.
Jon will kick off his workshop by introducing himself and showing a presentation from his portfolio. This will illustrate some of the lighting techniques he's going to demonstrate, and will be followed by Q&A. Then, using a top professional model, in a studio with a rail system and wind machines, Jon will workshop a number of lighting setups – High Fashion with ring flash (Jon will use the latest new ring flash from BOWENS); and Beauty Portrait on a white background (including pointers on how to avoid hot spots).
Jon promises a highly interactive, hands-on workshop, where each individual photographer will get the opportunity to work the model. YOU MUST BRING A CAMERA FOR THIS WORKSHOP!
These workshops are excellent for learning practical techniques you can take away and apply straight away. The Beauty Portrait workshop, for instance, teaches you how to do most of the work in the lighting setup – once that's right, all you have to do is shoot, it's like magic! You also learn more about studio equipment, including some inexpensive and highly effective items – like beauty dishes and tri-flectors – that can make all the difference.
Jon will give two presentations of High Fashion & Beauty Portrait at the London studios 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. Book Now!
