Hello, Firstname
 
Studio Extra
In a slight change of plan, Mike has arranged a couple of extra opportunities, particularly for members who cannot normally participate in the weekly Monday sessions, details below. As always, contact Mike to book a place where necessary.

Monday 11 August - 10am – 1pm - Normal session open to all, no need to book, no charge.  
Still Life / flat lays, back by popular request.  Bring, flowers, etc; lightboxes, backdrops, vases, torches if you intend light painting your subject; tripods, macro lens.

Monday 18 August (Change to programme)
Model Sessions with Michelle. Theme – Underwater. This effect is achieved through clever lighting and use of mylar – below are couple of examples from Mike.
 
  • 10am -1pm. Cost £10. Open to all, no need to book.
  • 1.15pm - 4.15pm. Maximum 5 people, booking essential. Cost £20. Obviously with limited numbers, everyone will get an opportunity to explore the theme in a bit more depth!
