Land Rover Seminar with Hasselblad is a winner

02/11/09

Last week Ambient Life Photographer Tim Wallace delivered a one day 'live shoot' seminar at the Land Rover headquarters in Halewood with support from major vendors such as Hasselblad, Profoto, Epson and Nikon.
The event was designed by Tim to give the audience a real feel for what is involved on a professional commercial car shoot, and followed the entire shooting process through from car placement and light positioning to finished photography.

Tim- "Many photographers find 'live shoots' in front of a large audience a little daunting for obvious reasons but in my view its really the best way to help people understand not only whats involved technically but also creatively. To try and do this in a class room would be a little I think like trying to explain how to drive to somebody who has never even seen a car...
I'm very fortunate that I have wonderful support on hand from people such as Hasselblad and Profoto who are happy to supply both equipment and support staff on the day so that the photographers attending also get an opportunity to try out some of the latest equipment and gain further user based knowledge. I really enjoyed the Land Rover event and it was a resounding success given the very positive feedback that it received, we even had some people coming over from Europe and the US to attend which I find totally amazing in all honesty. I'm looking forward to holding further events in the new year which will start with a second round of Jaguar shoots and we are now in talks with Land Rover and Calumet to add additional days into the programme for 2010 to open these off road shoots out to more people."

Following huge demand since last years 'industry first' live shoot car photography seminars by photographer Tim Wallace the event was sold out quite early on this year however we are now in talks with Calumet and Land Rover to hold additional events in 2010 to cope with the demand.
