Following his sell-out season of seminars earlier this year, Simon Stafford returns to Fitzroy House in London with a series of comprehensive training sessions. These will include practical workshops on the use of flash and ‘available light’ for portraiture, as well as seminars on the tools and techniques for close-up and macro photography, and general photographic techniques.



There will be a limited number of delegates at each seminar or workshop in order that each attendee will benefit more fully from the tuition. The cost of each session will be £155 with a special price of £95 if you are a current Nikon Owner subscriber.
