One Face – Five Ways – Headshot Portraiture – Llandudno Photographic Academy Evening
Tonight at the Llandudno Photographic Academy Evening it’s all about Headshot Portraiture – shooting in the studio as well as out on location. You will be creating five completely different looks from your model(s) using a wide variety of photographic and lighting techniques. From creating silhouettes to using gels. From shooting in black and white to creating bokeh in your portraits, from shooting in the Golden/Blue Hour to using a single light – the only limiting factor will be your creativity. We will be using props such as car windows, guitars, mirrors, hats and scarves and you will even learn how to use the surroundings around as your background to your advantage. Studio mains flash, off camera flash and natural light will, again, help you to create differing looks to your photographs. Using shadows, natural and created in the studio will also help you to be creative and think outside the box while you make some really effective images.

Seascape Photography – Low-Light & Long Exposure – Roving Photographic Academy Evening. We’re taking advantage of the lovely, lighter longer, but, hopefully nicer weather Evenings and getting out and about with our cameras to capture Llandudno and its long, circular bay, the promenade and pier (from Promenade) and the sea in low-light conditions after the sun has set. At this Welshot Roving Photographic Academy Evening, based in Llandudno, we will be shooting long exposures – from the Prom to the Pier itself. We will also be capturing traffic trails, grade one and two listed building all lit up and learning how to show your environment around you in one perfect image.
Shooting in low light can be challenging – Tonight you will be learning how to each element of the exposure triangle (ISO / Shutter / Aperture) to create your image. Understanding the exposure triangle is an important part of knowing how to use your camera, especially when shooting in low light. Learning how to use your shutter speeds and exposure times with the ambient (natural light) will help to create a variety of looks in your photographs. At this low-light and long exposure seascape photography workshop you will be capturing and creating unique and inspiring images to be proud of.

Welshot Does… Frocks on Rocks. This high-fashion photo-shoot has been a long standing annual event at Welshot, and each year, while we may have had a different theme, one thing has always remained the same – The seaside is ALWAYS our location and the 2023 event is no exception. Our theme for 2023 is… Vogue – 1940’s & 1950’s Fashion and our models will be dressed to the nines. The end of the war saw the return of couture fashion designers like Christian Dior, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, and Hubert de Givenchy, all of whom had a major impact in the style of the decade and at this Welshot Photo-Shoot our Models will be wearing all manner of clothing from full skirts, cinched waists, sloping shoulders, and high waisted pants, which will create hourglass silhouettes with masculine details – perfect to capture in your camera and a stunning image for your portfolio. We are however, making one major change – we will be starting the days shooting after lunch and will continue until after the sun has gone down. By making use of of the afternoon and evening light that Llandudno is famous for, you are going to be capturing our models using that natural glow as well as using off camera flash.
