Masters of Vision II exhibition
30th July-31th August 2011 at Southwell Minster
Join Damien Demolder for the Masters Of Vision II exhibition in Southwell Minster for the weekend the 29-31th July. The exhibition of landscape photography, featuring the work of eight other photographers including Dave Noton, will run for the duration of August, but Damien will be on hand for the first weekend to give you advice on your own photography and to discuss his own shooting and processing methods. Book a one-to-one portfolio review so Damien can give you personal guidance on any aspect of your photography. If you prefer you can join a group session with a small number of other enthusiast photographers during which Damien will lead discussions on your work as well as that of others in the group. Need help getting the best out of your image processing software? Damien will be holding a master-class demonstration where he will reveal the secrets of his own fine-tuning techniques that will help you to draw the very best from your own images.
Damien is the editor of Amateur Photographer magazine as well as a professional photographer. His expertise is called on to help judge a wide range of photographic competitions from Landscape Photographer of the Year, International Garden Photographer of the Year, to The UK Picture Editors' Guild Awards as well as the Amateur Photographer of the Year competition, and many others. He currently has a wildlife exhibition in the head office of on-line printer Photobox, and gave talks this year at the Sony World Photo Organisation Festival of Photography in Somerset House, London. He has just presented a talk on street photography to the journalists of the BBC World Service at Bush House.
Damien will be available to chat you through his own pictures displayed in the Minster at the Meet the Photographers session when the exhibition opens on Saturday morning at 10am. This session ends at 1pm.

Whatever you know, think you know or simply don't know this masterclass, presented by Amateur Photographer Damien Demolder, will give you a firm grounding in the proper use of primary software tools, such as Levels, Curves, Layers, colour control and sharpening, and will set you up with concrete routines for processing your digital photographs. These aren't skills that will make your pictures looked worked on, but which will help you to bring out the best from whatever your camera has captured.
