Here are a few of the local women from a FLIKr photographers group. After talking to them Ive decided to do a free workshop at my studiio on lighting.
Ill be checking on the need to run some classes for local budding photographers...if you, or friends or family that may be interested call or email me at enquiries@ricwoods.com .Numbers will be limited. There seems to be a shortage of people giving tuition.
