Really short notice I know…and even shorter notice, I won’t have this shoot confirmed until first thing in the morning!

But if it happens, I might need an assistant tomorrow in London. The assistant should know a little bit about using and setting up studio lights.

You would need to be in Berners Street, London at 12.00pm.  It would be around 4 hours work, setting up two studio lights, adjusting the power on the lights, moving lights, packing up lights etc.

I have a budget of £100 for you.

Let me know if anyone might be interested.

Cheers.

Last year’s Europe Photobloggers meetup in Berlin was great fun, and it was then announced that this year the meetup is going to be held in Barcelona. The Barcelona Photobloggers group seems really well organized, and so I’m pretty sure that this is going to be another great event.

The Europe Photobloggers Meetup 2008 will be held from 5 to 7 September, and for more information and discussion you can head over to the EPB website.

If you are looking for online tutorials to improve your photography you may want to check out Kelby Training.  There seem to be some really interesting tutorials from Joe McNally that could be worth watching, as well some on Photoshop by Scott Kelby himself. It’s not free however, but could be worth the monthly fee. If anyone has an account and uses it, let us know your thoughts.

Jane Bown is widely acknowledged as one of the finest portrait photographers of her generation.

The photographs are of a time gone by representing her early work. The candidness of the images underpin her gift of capturing the moment and thus her pictures are an inspiration even for todays photographer. Whilst similarities to Henry Cartier Bresson are often cited these are purely coincidental.

“The Observer” published its first Jane Bown photograph in December 1949, beginning a romance between Britain’s oldest Sunday paper and the country’s most loved photographer that still flourishes. Through the 1950’s her role developed. She was not employed purely for portraiture. Her love is for reportage.
