Day 3:
Today we went out by ourselves with Jon’s camera and took some portraits of eachother in different locations. We then came back to the studio and viewed all of our pictures and Jon taught us how to edit them and do airbrushing and so on. There was a Photoshoot during which we had to leave and go and take some textural photoz.
DAY 4:
We looked over the pictures we have taken over the week so far and used constructive criticism to help us learn about how to be better at photography and composition and so on.

Here at Southdown Studio we place enormous importance on education, and we’re just about the only photographic studio or photographers in the Brighton & Sussex areas who offer placements to school work experience students. So far we’ve played host to students from loads of different schools around the area, including Hattie, Alice, Adam, Alice, Charlotte, Sam, Sophia… and this week, it’s the turn of three students from Cardinal Newman School – Ellie, Ella and Jaz. So far they’ve been lovely, and they seem to be enjoying their week. Hopefully they’ll write about their experiences here…

Brighton Pride 2007 was a fabulous event for both the gay and straight people of Brighton. For once the sun was shining, and apart from some strange people protesting about something or other, it was all as friendly and exuberant as usual. Southdown Studio had two photographers there covering the event –
