If you are a photographer

(even a really new one!) this evening could be just for you.

Kevin Ahronson (founder of Hampshire School of Photography) holds regular, face-to-face meetings with local photographers to talk about a range of photography topics, provide helpful advice, and offer a great networking opportunity to those who want it.

Invitations to attend usually go to photographers who are still in the earlier stages of their photography journey, working hard to advance their skills.

These evening meetings (7:30 pm - 10:00 pm) offer an exceptional opportunity for photographers to gain valuable insights and receive free advice from one of the UK's top photography tutors.

During the session, participants will be able to discuss their photography progress and the highs & lows of their personal photography journeys.

With Kevin's extensive knowledge and expertise in the industry, he can offer guidance on a wide range of topics, including lighting, composition, macro photography, photographing people, architecture, landscapes and post-processing.

Participants are encouraged to submit two photos for discussion. One image they’re proud of and one they are disappointed with (this is not obligatory, but everyone gets so much out of the image analysis).

Overall, the Photographer's Evening is an excellent way for photographers to receive expert advice and support, develop their networks, and enhance their photography skills.

Professional and Semi-Pro Photographers:

Professional photographers and semi-pros are not invited to these meetings

Community

Growing a strong and supportive Hampshire-based photography community is our ultimate aim. The strength of the community will become more obvious as we develop, but we foresee exclusive training opportunities and other benefits for group members in the not-too-distant future.

HSP's commitment to supporting and nurturing talent within the photography industry is apparent through these meetings, which provide an exclusive opportunity for photographers to gain a broader perspective of their own photography journey. Making new friends and learning from each other, is a bonus.

We need your phone number... Why?

When we originally offered this workshop for free, we were overwhelmed with fake bookings.

To combat this, we have decided that everyone who books via Eventbrite will be telephoned to confirm that they are definitely attending.

No mobile, no attendance

S o if you don't leave your phone number (and we haven't spoken with you to confirm), I'm afraid we can't accept your booking.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS

Please don't apply for this if you've already attended any of our workshops or one-year courses, (even if we've already chatted on the phone), this is an opportunity for complete newcomers to be invited.

What to bring

Feel free to bring your camera. It's useful to have your cameras there in case we talk about settings and controls. Don't bring lots of lenses, flash guns or tripods

We will supply paper and pens for note-taking

We'll also supply tea & coffee on arrival

Free photo analysis

You are encouraged to submit up to a maximum of 2 of your own photographs (not compulsory)

1 x photo you're really pleased with

1 x photo that you're disappointed with

Each image will be reviewed, and friendly, constructive feedback and advice will be given.

Everyone who attends will be sent a link to upload their photos to. Please do not email them.

In a nutshell...

These are very informal evenings where everyone gets a chance to chip in, have their say, show off some of their photos... and in the process, learn lots of useful information to help them with their own photography. (Venue photo below)
