Back to School Down Under
Life takes all sorts of turns. I have taken a business development role that will see me spending 2 out of every 3 months Down Under in Australia. Wonderful I hear you all shout – well yes and no! It means that Julie will be left to hold the fort at fotologic 2/3rds of the time and inevitably I will have to pass some of our Event Business to others. On the positive side I will be able to offer my services in 2 countries so I suppose I could call my self an International Photographer.
On a serious note it is memories of long detachments in the military and I know I will have some time on my hands that would normally be spent with Julie. As a result I have decided to go back to School and will be starting a BA(Hons) in Photography. Why does an established photographer want to do this and go back to the beginning – for me it is about the Art of Photography not the Craft. It is the Why not the How. It will be a journey of discovery and re-thinking of my photography…………. a journey where the destination is self development.
And did I say that I will be doing most of this in Australia where it is warm and sunny!

Martin Grahame Dunn – Master Photographic Educator
Ian Bonthrone of fotologic spent a day recently with Martin Grahame Dunn perfecting lighting and posing for portraiture ready for 2011.
Training and constant re-evaluation is the key to photographic progression. Only the very naive or dumb will claim to be totally self taught. It is inconceivable that without the help of others, without inspiration from the works of others, whether, taught directly or indirectly, that anyone could claim to be top of their profession. What is worse is that some of these self delusionalists will then set up training courses.
I have chosen to learn from those who are recognised at the top of their photographic craft.
Training with Martin is a true Education. With only 5 delegates, 1 lovley model and a full day of Studio time Martin was able to spend a lot of time explaining advanced lighting. When I say advanced I dont mean complicated and in all throughout the day we never used more than 2 lights. We did however make best use of the light to create stunning portrait images.
