INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS
Sony Ambassadors with years of training and mentoring experience
Training byLUMIERE is offering an alternative experience to the traditional photography education system for those interested in a professional career in photography. Whilst we are big supporters of online learning we truly believe in the power of face to face, hands on training. Critically we are different from other photography training businesses because the team are active and current in the industry – shooting, marketing and selling to customers every day. Both Kate and Brent are Sony Europe Imaging Ambassadors. We know first hand the ups and downs, the successes and the failures and we will share all this with you in an honest yet supportive way. Kate has represented the Nikon brand as a UK Ambassador through her Kate Hopewell-Smith Photography business and together we run luxury photography, filming and aerial business www.bylumiere.co.uk.
If you want to know anything about photography THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME.
Kate and Brent have such a vast knowledge of all aspects of photography, from shooting, lighting, post-production, marketing, running a business, equipment….the list goes on….
The special thing about this dynamic team is the enthusiasm and care with which they impart their pearls of wisdom. It is important to them that you totally understand what they are teaching you. No skimming the surface, no stone unturned. Nothing is too much trouble.
Every topic is taught in depth, and at your speed, with kindness.
