Timeline EventsProvides many different genres of events so you need to browse the web site.AlvinI've done many different events and have enjoyed all of them. They do provide lighting where required and some guidance, and set up a few shots. However you are free to make suggestions and ask for particular arrangements to photograph. The one downside is that if one of their events does not show a limit on the number of photographers (eg Vulcan Photoshoot at Night) it can be rather crowded.
Leading Lines EventsA sister company to the above and they share photographers.AlvinSome of the events I've done above were probably Leading Lines rather than Timeline Events
Creativity HubPhotoshoots of Models in different locations with excellent support on the dayAlvinI've done 2 photoshoots, learnt a lot from both and got some great shots. They provide the Models, do their hair, makeup and help with costumes. They provide lighting and guidance on how to use it, and advice with camera settings and composition. London Camera Exchange are there to buy any second hand kit you may have and a major camera manufacturer such as Canon or Nikon is there and will loan you lenses and/or camera bodies for the day.
Justin MinnsBased in East Anglia he provides landscape photoshoots, often at sunrise or sunset, sometimes with Infra RedAlvinI have done 4 shoots with Justin and enjoyed every one; he typically takes a group of 5-6 people, although Steven Slater and I organized a private photoshoot with him. He also gave me Zoom lessons on Lightroom and Photoshop.
Paul MitchellSpecializes in woodland photographyAlvinSteven and I had an excellent workshop with him photographing Savernake Forest in Autumn. He also provided guidance on how to post-process images which was very helpful.
