A photo from the latest Shelton Muller Portrait Workshop (I go along to assist my good friend and mentor).

Saturday saw me and Shelton back together again for one of his amazing workshops, this time based on weddings.

I love assiting on these as not only do I get to help and teach others, but I always pickup a few things myself. I also take any opportunity to grab some photos myself. I like how I am not under any pressure and can grab some nice shots.

It’s always very gratifying to see the improvement from the start to the end of the day and the happy faces that thank the staff at the end of the day. Camera Action puts on a great workshop and everyone loves it.

We had Elise act as our bride and she played the part well (as you can see below).

Although quite uncomfortable with the title I have recently had the honour of being a “Guest Guru” at the photography tutorial website fiveminutephotographer.com.

“If your vision is to create beautiful, dynamic and inspiring images with your camera, the Five Minute Photographer makes it easy.

Our series of five minute photography tutorials will show you how dynamic images are made using simple techniques and equipment. In five minutes you will learn imaging techniques and principles that will change forever how you take pictures. Our forums will help you get online with photographers from all over the world. Read our informative articles on many aspects of photography. New photo tutorials and articles are being added regularly by renowned photographer, Shelton Muller.”

Last week I was contacted and was honoured to be asked to contribute a five minute tutorial video to the website. My video on “How to photograph your first wedding” was uploaded to the site last night and I look forward to hearing from the members.

I’d like to introduce Tim, my assistant/second shooter.

If you add the second shooter to your wedding package (and everybody should as the return vastly outweighs the expense) you will get to meet this person.

He joined me on his first wedding shoot last Friday and fell straight into the routine. He has taken some fantastic photos (of which I will show once the couple have seen them) and made a great assistant. He worked his backside off and was spoken very highly of by the Bride and Groom.

Welcome aboard Tim. I look forward to working with you.
