These talks are designed to inspire, educate and give photographers & filmmakers the chance to learn directly from experienced professionals, brand experts and leading creatives. Whether you’re looking to improve your technique, try new ideas or get more from your kit, each session offers practical advice you can take straight into your own photography.

Live Lighting Demos: Small Space, Big Portraits

Think you need a big studio to create professional portraits? Think again.

Join photographer Gavin Hoey for live portrait photography demonstrations throughout the day, exploring how simple lighting techniques mixed with creative thinking can transform unlikely spaces into eye-catching portraits. Working alongside a professional model, Gavin will share practical tips, clever lighting tricks and real-world solutions that photographers can immediately apply to their own work.

Whether you're new to portrait photography or looking for fresh inspiration, you'll leave with new ideas, greater confidence and a few creative twists to try for yourself.

There are no set times for the demos. Demos depending on number of customers in the store at any one time.
