Glyn will demonstrate how he builds his signature classic portraits using minimal kit in a limited space, from choosing the right equipment and setting up the light, through to working with a subject in front of the camera.

Alongside the hands-on experience, we’ll also be hosting a programme of guest speaker seminars and brand talks from professional photographers, filmmakers and industry specialists. These sessions are designed to inspire, educate and help you take your photography or filmmaking further.

Talk schedules:

• 10:00 - 11:00 Cat Race | Sponsored by Wex

Light up your vision: The power of self belief in photography & off camera flash.

Blending two powerful themes — self-belief and off-camera flash — Cat will explore how confidence can transform the way you approach photography. For many photographers, adding artificial light can feel intimidating or overly technical, but this session is designed to show that it is far more achievable than it first appears.

Cat will share her own experience of learning to work with off-camera flash, overcoming the initial overwhelm and developing a “can do” attitude towards lighting. Through practical insight and encouragement, she will help you see how artificial light can open up new creative possibilities and give you greater control over your images.

Whether you have always wanted to try off-camera flash, feel nervous about using lighting, or simply need a boost of confidence in your photography, this talk will inspire you to take the next step and light up your creative vision.

From Stills to Motion.

Photographers already know more about video editing than they think. Many of the skills used every day in photo editing, from colour, contrast and cropping to layers, sequencing and visual storytelling, can translate naturally into video workflows.

Join Ian Sayers for a practical and reassuring session designed to help photographers take their first steps into video editing with confidence. Ian will show how familiar Photoshop skills can translate directly into Adobe Premiere Pro, and how workflows in Affinity and Capture One can provide a strong foundation for moving into DaVinci Resolve.

This session is ideal for photographers who want to start creating video content but feel unsure where to begin. By connecting familiar stills-editing techniques with video-editing tools, Ian will make the move from still images to motion feel simple, logical and accessible.

Perfect for photographers, content creators and hybrid shooters looking to expand their creative workflow.
