Car Photography Courses

[KenJ]

Hi all,

Recently I went on a general photography course for beginners which included the basics of using a DSLR in full manual mode. Since the course I've only used my camera in manual mode and now I'd like to focus more on car photography as a hobby (not professional).

Does anyone on here offer dedicated car photography courses? I live in the N.West but would be willing to travel.

Thanks

Pistonheads used to run a car photography workshop/seminar thing (1 for beginners, 1 for advanced), I don't know if they are doing one this year. Theres only a limited amount and number of techniques you could learn in a day though.

I think the last time they offered it was in 2012.

Is there much call for this sort of thing? I've toyed with the idea of setting something like that up for a while but always bottled it at the last minute through fear of lack of interest.

I ran one last year and covered the post production side of the Photography as well as shooting the car itself. It seemed to go down well - link for more about it

Quite like the idea of a shoot and tut' although must limit the potential market. Great images of that MK2 as ever too Phil.

The PH studio workshops were great however as mentioned its difficult to significantly improve and take onboard that much in one day. If another one came up I would jump at it as a second time around I think I would have more knowledge and grasp it quicker.

Post images on here and ask for crit and watch videos etc etc, learn by doing (as cheesy as it sounds) is the way to do it - 90% of what I can do is from having a go and learning by looking at others work and asking for crit

Thanks for the information, I'd definitely be interested if any of you were running a course.

There are some great Tim Wallace training videos on kelbyone.com while you wait for an appropriate course to come along. Well worth subscribing for a month to watch those
