It was my first proper camera, and at the time I knew very little about photography.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>So says Kate Hopewell-Smith, who just a few years later is one of the UK\u2019s top wedding and portrait shooters. She is talking to us in the theatre at AP\u2019s HQ just prior to her Nikon School seminar for around 90 AP readers \u2013 the third that AP has hosted with Nikon School Live this year.<\/p>\n\n<p>http:\/\/link.brightcove.com\/services\/player\/?bctid=4473029324001<\/p>\n\n<p>So how did Kate become such an accomplished photographer in so little time? Her images are extraordinary, not only in their staging, and in the visible rapport she has with the subjects, but for the beautiful lighting.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Well you have to like people,\u2019 she explains. \u2018You need people skills and you can\u2019t learn those. But then it\u2019s about learning to see light. I mean really see it. For me there was a Eureka moment when I realized\u00a0 I could read it and know how it was going to look within the limited dynamic range of a digital camera.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Kate long ago upgraded her D80 for Nikon\u2019s pro bodies and lenses and now uses a D810, D4 and D3S with\u00a0 a variety of optics. In her role as a Nikon Ambassador she had the chance to shoot with Nikon\u2019s new 28-70mm f\/2.8 VR lens and is full of praise for it. \u2018I wasn\u2019t a big fan of the 24-70mm before,\u2019 she admits, \u2018but the new one has changed my mind.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Kate has her audience enthralled as she shows her work and talks about light in a way that many feel they really understand for the first time. Afterwards, as we enjoy a glass of wine and spectacular views over London, they are able to chat to Kate and the Nikon School team, and play with the latest gear that Nikon has brought along \u2013 including the first opportunity in the UK to see that new 28-70mm f\/2.8 lens.<\/p>\n<p>More Nikon School Live seminars will be held in the coming months, so look out for announcements in AP.<\/p>\n<h2>Forthcoming Nikon school courses that may interest you<\/h2>\n<h3>The Art of Location Wedding Photography<\/h3>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Location-Weddings-pic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60516\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Location-Weddings-pic.jpg\" alt=\"Location weddings\" width=\"1200\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/Location-Weddings-pic.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/Location-Weddings-pic.jpg?resize=300,180 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/Location-Weddings-pic.jpg?resize=630,378 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/Location-Weddings-pic.jpg?resize=900,540 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/Location-Weddings-pic.jpg?resize=562,337 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Join Nikon School on location for a fantastic wedding photography workshop, hosted at the exclusive Buxted Park Hotel in East Sussex.

The workshop\u2019s excellent balance of theory and practical will leave you with a great set of pictures, and lots of creative ideas to use in your photography in future.<\/p>\n<h2>Kate\u2019s top tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Search for light, not locations<\/h3>\n<p>I rarely shoot within 10-15 miles of where I live, but\u00a0 I never do a recce first.\u00a0 I did when I first started and was fairly green, but that\u2019s entirely the wrong approach. When you learn that photography is all about light and not about location you realise you can\u2019t recce beforehand, because the light will never be the same. Have a rough idea of where you\u2019ll shoot \u2013 I try to find areas where the subject is free to move around \u2013 but when you get there look for where the best light is.<\/p>\n<h3>Use props<\/h3>\n<p>Getting children to stay\u00a0 in one place for any\u00a0 length of time can be a challenge, so sometimes\u00a0 I introduce props that they can either get into or onto. My favourite is an old tin bath that I bought in a\u00a0 junk shop.<\/p>\n<h3>Three types of light<\/h3>\n<p>When I do a portrait shoot I like to deliver three types of light: frontal, side and back. Each type of light gives very different results. If you shoot the whole session with the light coming from just one direction the pictures will look a little \u2018samey\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3>Go manual<\/h3>\n<p>If you shoot in aperture priority but find yourself using exposure compensation a lot then you\u2019d be better off using manual mode. I used to be an aperture priority shooter, which is fine if you\u2019re shooting in pretty safe, flat light. But as soon as you start working in more interesting backlight and sidelight you\u2019ll find it won\u2019t deliver what you need. But I still select the aperture first and work around that.<\/p>\n<h2>About Nikon School<\/h2>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/nikon-school-pic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60513\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/nikon-school-pic.jpg\" alt=\"Nikon School\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/nikon-school-pic.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/nikon-school-pic.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/nikon-school-pic.jpg?resize=599,400 599w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/nikon-school-pic.jpg?resize=900,601 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/nikon-school-pic.jpg?resize=562,375 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/09\/nikon-school-pic.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Nikon School\u00a0 offers workshops\u00a0 that cater for photographers of\u00a0 every level of ability, from complete beginners to practising professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The Centre of Excellence, situated in Central London, offers a wide range of courses that are suited to individuals wanting to learn more about photography, or those who simply want to expand their creative horizons.<\/p>\n<p>The Nikon School workshops are a mix of easy-to-understand theory and hands-on practical assignments that are held in small groups to ensure everyone can benefit from the expert knowledge of the tutors.
