Photographic Events in and around our Norfolk Showroom
Over the course of 2012 we'll be adding to the events list with the aim of providing you with the chance to get hands-on with the latest releases, gain a broader understanding of a particular subject or simply allow you to share your ideas and passion with other photographers. With the help of our friendly and knowledgeable staff and our friends from various brands at each event we aim to help you build on your talent as a photographer.
Digital Photography Courses in association with Wex Photographic
Expanding out from our Norwich showroom Wex Workshops aim to help the UK take better photos by providing the expertise to help you cultivate your talent. To do this we have teamed up with top training provider Going Digital to bring you over 20 course topics ranging from wildlife and landscape to wedding masterclasses, at over 80 venues throughout the UK. In addition, Wex Workshops works with the leading brands to bring you manufacturer-approved training courses, such as Getting the Best from your Digital SLR, in association with Canon.
Over the next 12 months, Wex Workshops are extending our relationship with Canon, to bring you Beginner and Intermediate level courses on getting to know your camera, as well as dedicated landscape, wildlife and low-light photography courses. As the year unfolds, Wex Workshops will also announce courses in association with Elinchrom and Colour Confidence amongst others, as well as continuing our existing course schedule with lighting guru Steve Aves.
