Delegate Showcase – Wendy Monaghan and Building a Portfolio. Each month we showcase a delegate who has attended our Welshot events and for February 2024 it’s the turn of Wendy Monaghan. Wendy has been taking photos her whole life, much to the dismay of her family and friends. Wendy mainly used point and shoot cameras and took her rolls of film into the local Max Spielman, or sent the roll off to be developed (remember the Kodak envelopes you could pick up to send your film off, should you get a second set of prints or not…) where you also had negatives delivered with your images.  Wendy remembers picking the pictures she wanted duplicates of, going through the negatives and either sending them off again or taking them to the local shop.

At this “Build Your Portfolio” photography session day event, team Welshot is joined by full-time, professional and experienced model, Olga Solomakhina for a full day of capturing and making images.  Are you ready to push the boundaries of your creative prowess and elevate your portfolio to new heights? This Portfolio Building Day is more than just a photoshoot; it’s a playground for your imagination. With Olga as your professional model who will be wearing a large selection of high fashion and avant-garde costume/outfit concepts – you will be able to experiment with lighting, composition, while using a wide variety of backdrops.  This is a day which allows your creativity to flow freely and produce images that you can be proud of.

The key to successful coloured gel photography is experimentation and at this Welshot Photographic Academy Evening in Llandudno you will have the time to test different combinations, understand the impact of each gel, and refine your technique to achieve the desired results.  With the help, support and guidance of our team of expert lighting technicians and photographers you will be shown how understanding the colour temperature of your light source is crucial when using gels. Different gels have specific colour temperatures, and combining them with the existing lighting conditions can produce unique effects.

Welshot Progressive offers you the chance to move your photography on by providing you with professional models, a wealth of props to suit any genre, equipment you may not have access to at home and the freedom to explore creatively with your camera. Best of all, there is expert advice right there for you – but only when you need it: just like that safety net.

This is a full day Welshot Progressive event specifically designed for photographers to concentrate on their own personal continued professional development and building a photographic portfolio.  We are delighted to have Natalie Ciufo Green join us here at the Creative Hub in Llandudno.  At this portfolio building session Natalie, who is a bit of a chameleon when it comes to fashion, will be sporting a number of different looks with at least five costume/outfit changes.  You will be learning how to work with your model, posing Natalie for your portraits and use your lighting to compliment your model which will give you the best possible composition for your photograph.  You will be using studio mains, and off camera flash lighting techniques in the studio itself as well as using the buildings features to capture your portrait photos for your portfolio.  If the weather is suitable we may also go outdoors for some funky, grungy and dynamic images.
