PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING

If you have always wanted to learn landscape photography and how to master your camera in manual mode, come and join me on a one on one training session where I will teach you everything I have learnt out in the field over the years. There is nothing better than learning face to face with me by your side which will give you the confidence to go away and start shooting on your own.

During the session you will you will get a good grounding of the fundamentals of photography while learning how to use your camera to its full potential.

A typical training session involves meeting at a location in Sydney a few hours before sunset. I feel sunset is a better time to learn as it’s still light, which gives us plenty of time to go through all the fundamental training, and then by sunset you will be prepared and confident to shoot when the magic happens. Of course if you prefer to to do the training with me at sunrise, that is fine too, I just find sunset a more relaxed way to take it all in and learn effectively.

Topics covered

  • Understanding Aperture, ISO and Shutter Speed
  • Camera Settings (RAW vs JPEG)
  • How to expose correctly and use the histogram
  • How to shoot confidently in Manual Mode

  • Long Exposure Techniques

  • Panoramic Photography

TYPES OF PRINTS

Print

Photo Only
Printed on 260 gsm lustre paper for beautiful photo realistic printing. Each print comes with a 2.5cm white border and is signed on the bottom right hand side within the border. It is ready to mount or frame however you like.

Acrylic

Acrylic Facemount
These are the classic acrylic wall panels which have a frameless floating effect. Acrylic Facemounts are a great alternative to framing. They have that classic modern look, with brilliant colours from the acrylic. Edges are diamond polished to a sparkle adding fine detail. They are timeless and have great applications in the home or office. The image is printed on metallic paper for a pearl like finish. They have a sturdy hidden backing frame and they come standard with a hanging bracket, so you can put it up on your wall with ease.

Frames

Framed
All frames are 2cm wide and 4cm high. They are available in White wood, Black wood and Oak Wood. Each frame is handmade from scratch.

The print has a 2.5cm white border around it, which is signed on the bottom right hand side within the border, and mounted onto gator board, so your print will never warp over time. A 6cm white mat board is placed in front of the print to separate the print from the glazing. The glazing is acrylic which is lighter than glass and will not shatter.

D Rings and wire are attached for hanging small frames and double D Rings are attached for larger frames.

Canvas

Canvas
Canvas prints are an affordable and lightweight option with a beautiful painterly feel. The canvas is stretched around a wooden frame and they come ready to hang. They make the perfect gift.

DIGITAL MOCKUP SERVICE

If there is an image you like but you aren’t quite sure whether it will look good on the wall and in the position you would like it, take a photo of the location with your smartphone and send it through to me, and I will happily superimpose your image of choice on the wall in the location you are considering placing it.

Things to consider when taking the photo:

Don’t just take a photo of the wall, a good idea is to take a photo of the surrounding area, so for example your bed, dining table or lounge which will give you an excellent idea of how the picture will look in that space.

Also note down the size of the wall you want the picture to go on, or the size of the couch, TV etc. You can take an educated guess if you are not sure. I need to know this so I can make the proportions of the picture correct to your actual space which will give you a realistic representation of how the final image will look on the wall.

Also note down the name of the image and Image Code along with what type of print you would like, Canvas, Acrylic Facemount or Framed along with the frame colour of either Black, White or Oak.
 
Simply email the image and the details through to info@brianbornstein.com. I will mockup the picture on your photo and email it back to you.
