PLEASE NOTE - ALL our Powerpoint presentations are designed to last for 1 hour, then a BREAK, then a further 30 minutes for more on-topic information. For those organisations who prefer a ONE HOUR slot, the natural break at 1 hour is designed to act as a conclusion when only a shorter presentation is required.

MDO offer several presentation packages which have been used for clubs and societies, ranging from camera clubs to U3A (University of the 3rd. Age) Groups.

MODELS
We strongly recommend that for our portraiture demonstration and hands-on workshops, we provide at model at additional cost. If you wish to provide your own model then all well and good. Please note though that these sessions always work best with a photogenic model who has experience in front of a camera for your group to gain the maximum advantage from the event.

We have access to some excellent ‘newbie’ models who have had limited time in front of the professional camera and therefore don’t charge such a high hourly rate as those with more experience. As a ball-park figure, we can usually find you a photogenic model from £50 (inclusive) for your evening session.
Note: We NEVER provide and use models for our demonstrations and workshops who have no previous photographic studio experience.
