Changes

There are big changes afoot, nay, huge! Illuminatus is going through a metamorphosis in enhancing its "Insight Training" brand together with other initiatives.

It is time for "The Academy" to take on more structure to provide an invaluable resource in the world of education and trainiung in the photographic industry.

For too long, greedy and avaricious people have tried to bully and dominate in a free market to exclude anything they really don't like. Brings back memories of a dark and distant past and there is no room for that behaviour in 21st century photography.

It is time for a real alternative.....watch this space....

Nikki & Patricio's Wedding - Latest News....

The most important thing of all is to make Nikki's day one to be remembered by so many people not only as the first of it's kind but also for the happy event it WILL be! Organising a wedding is a real task at the best of times but in the midst of a recession with so many things to think of and pay for it can be a real headache.

So, they are considering changing the date to the early summer of 2010 to give more time to get this amazing wedding as right as right can be. More details coming soon so watch this space!

What a great endorsement! Thanks David x

Hi guys! Just thought I'd post this fantastic testimonial on my new DVD...
Dear nice people,
I bought the DVD from the SWPP convention and as far as I am concerned, it appears to be (not seen it all yet) the most useful, single, solitary item that will guide me on my way to become a decent wedding photographer. It's brilliant!

Exactly what I want from an instructional dvd and produced by one of the nicest persons upon God's earth. If i was rich, I'd buy a second one, as this will be worn out soon. Go on, buy it ... you won't regret it ... I promise !

Nikki & Patricio's wedding next update...

I have taken on board comments and suggestions and it is clear that I need to lay down a set of 'rules' for this important day. I intend only to look on the bright side and do my absolute best to make it an extremely happy occasion for Nikki & Patricio.

Actually Patricio is a photographer in his own right and as part of my gift to them on top of helping their wedding day be a memorable one, I am going to train him to work with me in the future and establish himself as a leading photographer in his own right.

Nikki & Patricio's wedding update...

Due to some comments on the SWPP forum I want to set the record straight about the purpose of this course. A long time ago this wonderful couple asked me to shoot their wedding as they have modelled for me on numerous occasions as well as for a lot of other 'big names' in photography. And yet they chose me for lots of reasons but primarily as we get on so well both professionally and as a result, socially.

The course fee is to do my best to offset the costs of these guys wedding day and make it special for them. Of course one of the aims is to watch a seasoned professional (or maybe even two!) go throught their paces and cover a 'real' wedding. Now my name is not Ghionis or Yervant and I may not have shot for a few years BUT perhaps you would all be surprised to se what i can pull out of the bag! After all I was doing £5k weddings before these guys were even in business!

So, if you are intersted in participating in this experience (I will post a full itinary as it is clearly necessary) then please contact me as soon as possible.
