About NDPS studio Group

Norwich & District Photographic Society has an active studio group. Regular shoots are organised with the opportunity to photograph a variety of models, both male and female and themes. These can be for example portraiture, fashion, and figure studies.

Normally shoots take place at one of the local photographic studios or halls regularly used by NDPS that are equipped with a selection of backdrops.on the Second Monday evening of each month starting at 7:00 PM. but full details for each shoot are also published beforehand so keep an eye out for any changes.

Regular models Hayley Bird, Estelle Long and Cathy Wilson were joined last season by some new faces including Rose Weaver, Lindsey Anne Duckham and Charlotte Laughter. Each session we try to focus on a new theme or technique which hopefully will help members to increase their knowledge and experience of studio photography. In addition we make sure we have fun…!

Cost
Because all studio sessions are self-financing the participants have to cover the additional costs to the Society such as studio hire, studio equipment and the mode’s l fee etc.. Although the actual cost of each meeting of the Studio Group varies depending on the location of the shoot and the model and their experience. We do however, endeavour to ensure this cost is fair and reasonable and is normally no more than £10-£20 each for each Studio Group meeting.

About the Studio Group
So that everyone has the opportunity to get some good shots at each meeting the shoots are usually limited to six (6) photographers to give each member adequate time. Studio flash is normally provided so the only thing needed to participate is a camera with a hot shoe connection..
In addition, from time to time location shoots are also arranged with a model. Past locations used have been a working garage, medieval hall, derelict church, courtroom, disused factory and office buildings, city subways, a cemetery and the beaches out on the North Norfolk Coast.
For those members who want to learn more about studio photography the sessions provide the opportunity to learn about setting up and using studio lighting to achieve different styles of image, various composition styles using models, image processing and generally discussing shots.
All studio group shoots are well organised, friendly and fun. We have both male and female photographers taking part and their abilities range from advanced through to beginners.
New members are particularly welcome, and help is always on hand help anyone who needs advice.
