Calumet is looking for fifteen fit photographers to join Tim Wallace one of the world's top car shooters for the NEW and IMPROVED 'Flash Wheels' seminar day to be held at the Land Rover Experience near Birmingham this spring.

Tim Wallace, an acclaimed, award-winning car photographer, will head this two day educational seminar on 20th and 21st April.

This exclusive event is supported by Hasselblad, Profoto, Epson and onOne and will offer professional photographers, aspirational amateurs and car enthusiasts a chance to learn the basics of quality automotive photography in the seminar room and on location.

This is a perfect opportunity to learn from the master. Tim works with many blue-chip names in the industry, including Aston Martin, Jaguar and Vitesse Supercars and on this special 'Flash Wheels' seminar he will demonstrate how to capture stunning car images both static form and in action on off-road tracks.

Delegates should have at least basic photo-skills and will also need to be reasonably fit as there is some steep gradient walking involved.

The cost of the Flash Wheels seminar (10am to 5pm) is £400 including VAT.
Lunches will be provided.

Epson will also supply one free finished digital print to each photographer at the end of the day.

The first day is mainly about the opportunity to take images in locations that provide excellent opportunities for photography. Tim and the vendors are on hand to be able to help and guide you through the day. There is an information session at the start of the event during which time our Tim will guide you through the key aspects that you need to know to capture successful images.

• Professional Workflow - What's important and why, how we approach workflow, Monitor calibration, actions for speed in workflow, printing output etc
• DSLR or Medium Format - Why choose a format and why both can exist in the Pro field today
• The New Digital Purest - Addressing today's views that digital is not pure photography, how photography has evolved to lead us to what we use now, also how this measures against older techniques and how these traditions of the past can be transposed into shooting today.
