Calumet to host Epson Print Academy in 2012
Calumet has teamed with Epson Print Academy and photography workshop specialist, aspect2i, to host a brand new series of exclusive photo-workshops at key branches through2012.
Michael Pilkington, a founding partner at aspect2i said: “This is a key joint initiative to help photographers, both amateur and professional, evolve their skills to the next level. Aspect2i plans to offer the widest range of class-based workshops in the country - and this compelling new programme, starting with over 20 events through 2012 brings the Epson Print Academy proposition to key Calumet stores.”
He added: “These dynamic workshops, hostedby well-known professionals Sue Bishop, Mike McNamee, John Humphrey, Andrew Williams, Trevor Waldron and Paul Gallagher, are specifically tailored to enable photographers to master a specific topic. And when it comes to output we believe that too many images stay on a screen or a hard drive. Our view remains that photography is really about the excitement of creating an outstanding and very high quality print.”
Sian Hamer, Calumet marketing executive said: “We are delighted to be working with the Epson Print Academy and aspect2ion this project. The first workshop in March is headed ‘The Perfect Black & White Print’ with Paul Gallagher and follow-up seminars, initially in London and Manchester will include thefollowing topics: ‘Creating Photos with impact’; ‘Essentials of travel photography’, ‘Understanding Lightroom’; ‘Off camera flash in the field; ‘Getting the most from your DSLR’; ‘Making exhibition quality prints’; ‘Photoshop essentials’ and ‘Close-up and macro photography’ The courses will cost just £85 for the day, including VAT, lunch and refreshments.”.
Nick White, Sales Manager, Professional Graphics, Epson (UK) Ltd noted “Calumet brings a fantastic opportunity to extend the Epson Print Academy to many new locations throughout the UK”.
