THEN IT’S TIME TO

join us

Choose whether you spend 1 or 2 days with us learning how to create the perfect equine portrait session for you and your client.

You’ll join other passionate, vibrant equine photographers, all working to build their photography and live their dream. Here at the Training Barn, we believe in building one another up and creating a safe and confidence building experience.

Day One participants will enjoy two photoshoots, one in the morning and one after lunch, followed by a group Q&A session. Day Two participants will take part in a morning photoshoot, and then in the afternoon, we’ll do an image assessment and editing session – perfect for fine-tuning your process and making sure you’re getting the most out of your shots. After that, we’ll dive into another Q&A.

Want to take part in both days? Fab! Can only make one? That’s great, too. Spaces are offered on a strictly first-come, first-served basis, so don’t delay – book today!

Q&A SESSION

What is your biggest achievement since finishing this course?

Getting out there and making contact with a wide range of different businesses and trying to gain business and get to know people. I have also done a few photo shoots for adults and children so I have started to place a few orders which has been fantastic.

Have you booked any clients since the course?

Yes, I have put myself out there with trying to market myself as much as I can and this so far has been successful in producing some great shots and clients placing orders. I realise that it helps to work with other businesses in what each can gain, this so far seems to have worked and produced a foot in the door so to speak. Even though it has brought me this I still know I have a long way to go in order to produce those solid foundations and for that circle to grow before I can rely on it more financially.

GOT SOME

QUESTIONS?

WHO IS PERFECT FOR THIS COURSE?

You’re right for this course if…  

…you’re ready to take the leap and make your photography dreams a reality. You don’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to have sold a single image – but if you’re committed to taking your best shots yet and producing a portfolio that you’ll want to shout about from the rooftops, then we can’t wait to work with you!

What will I learn from this course?

After 3 photo shoots with us you will be able to pose and direct your client with confidence. We walk you through how we set up and create a success equine portrait photo shoot.

Working with natural light can be tricky, so we go through how we use light, whatever the weather and what settings we use on our cameras.

On our editing day we show you how we utalise Lightroom for processing and organising our images. We have a proven backup and organisation workflow which we will also walk you through.

What kit will I need for this course?
  • Bring all the camera gear you have (no lighting needed)  
  • Ideally you will have a wide-angle and zoom lenses  
  • Lots of card space for each session, at least 30GB  
  • Fully charged batteries and spares  
  • Laptop and card reader  
  • Wellies or good solid boots  
  • Warm outdoor clothing  
  • Pocket notepad and pen (for on location)  
  • A packet of Polo mints (optional but will make you very popular with the horses)
DO I NEED TO BE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER?

The short answer is no. 

If you would like to dip your toe into equine photography then this is the course for you. Even if you would like to leave your camera on automatic until your confidence grows, thats fine by us. This course is to build your experience and knowledge of equine portrait photography. No pressure!

What are the next course dates:

12th & 13th October 2021
