• welcome to Julian Porter photography workshops

    Jules and his wife, Sue, are both proud qualified members of the Master Photographers Association (MPA) and the British Institute of Professional Photographers (BIPP) and currently handle 40 high-class weddings each year plus hundreds of portraits in their Southampton studio.

    Those abbreviations provide you with reassurance. What they don't prepare you for is the sense of technical prowess and artistic brilliance than Jules and Sue bring to their work on weddings, portraits, Christenings, baby days, makeovers, location shoots – and now boudoir and saucy pinup shoots.

    Today, Jules and Sue are passing on their skills – in workshops that teach you how to shoot like a pro or build a photography business. Or if you're already there, helping you diversify into exciting and lucrative new markets. It's an unmissable opportunity from two of the most-respected photography professionals in the country.

Please be patient whilst we update our training site

It should only be a day or so and most content still works

Photography training in Southampton and a Nikon d3

Earlier this week Sue and I ran a training day for one of our 2011 Grooms, Jonathan, When he booked us for his wedding we had a long chat about photography and the fact they were off on Safari for Honeymoon and he asked us advice on the best camera and lens, I jokingly replied “A Nikon D3 of course” we then chatted about the great range of Nikon “starter” DSLR cameras as well as the Canon options, Jonathan decided that he wanted the best and purchased a D3 which although surprised me, it made me very happy,

Jonathan is already a very keen photographer but wanted to learn all about the D3 and getting the best from it, We ran our “getting to know your camera” workshop and had a fab time, after our initial time here at the studio we left for our favorite place Marwell Zoo,

We did process a few on the day but we spent so much time shooting that I had to do these today,  Here are a few of his shots, Although we have a couple of D3’s I am always in awe of this camera and the photos it produces.

Jonathan,  I hope you love these as much as we do, and I look forward to seeing your work from the river next week

Southampton Boudoir workshop with Louise and Iain,

Yesterday we ran a one 2 one workshop well actually it was a one 2 two  workshop because Iain and Louise both joined us and because they were from the same studio we did both together as one workshop.

We had a great day starting at 08:30 and finishing at 5pm and we were all totally shattered,  We had 2 great models, Amy and Ruth,  we have worked with them both several times and as always they were great.

Looking at the photo’s briefly this morning, I am delighted with them and know that Iain and Louise will be too,  I will post a few later over on our Boudoir website.

Please let us know if your interested in a boudoir workshop, we would love to see you.

You too can book bespoke training from £60 per hour for shorter sessions like this.

Bespoke training with Henry in Southampton

Last Tuesday amidst all the snow chaos we ran a training day for Henry,  it was Henry’s second training day with us, last year we did a day teaching him to get the most out of his D700,  This turned out to be a very expensive day for us because shortly after that we switched to Nikon’s:-).

Henry received one of our training day vouchers from all of his family combined and decided to book a day to learn how to properly store and edit his images, we spent the morning chatting about safe uploading and cataloguing as well as backing up and then moved onto editing in photoshop.

We had a great day even if it was cut slightly short because of the incoming snow.
