Let's cover it all shall we?  

Weddings
How about we start with Weddings. The whole process explained; NoBs Style.  James will take you through a typical freestyle wedding, covering all aspects and angles of the business.  Discover how to book your weddings years in advanced, learn to find and create dynamic images in the oddest places with minimal equipment. 
 
Portraits
Then we will move onto portraits with some on-location sessions, understand the concepts of off camera flash and mixing ambient light with flash.  James will discuss simple yet effective marketing techniques using your website and blog to bring in more business and overload your client database.

Photoshop  
Let's not forget the Photoshop part either. James will show you tips and tricks to pack your Photoshop arsenal; all the time keeping your files and processes organized. During the 5 days you will have numerous live model shoots where you can practice & hone the skills taught during NSI. This course will give you the abilities to take your photography and photography business to the next level.
