11:00 – 11:40
John D McHugh
Afghanistan - The First Multimedia War
John D McHugh has just returned from Afghanistan (again). But this trip was different. McHugh explains “this was the first time that I was using the same camera to shoot my stills, my video, and record all my audio,” the camera, of course, was the EOS 5D Mark II.
“I have often carried more gear, more weight, on patrols than the soldiers I am reporting on,” says McHugh, “because I work in multimedia. I would have a couple of stills cameras around my neck, a video camera in one hand or on my shoulder, and an audio recorder in my other hand, or taped onto my helmet.”
McHugh will show a selection of stills, video, and audio slideshows that he produced in February 2010 in Afghanistan, using only the EOS 5D Mark II. He will also talk about the benefits and challenges of using a single camera for all his work, he will share his thoughts on why he believes multimedia offers so many exciting possibilities to all photographers, not just photojournalists.
12:00 – 12:40

Ben Osborne
A Sense of Place
The seminar will look at how Ben uses photography to celebrate landscape and wildlife. Rather than separate these two photographic genres, Ben prefers to encompass both of them to give his audience a more comprehensive vision of the wild places in which he prefers to work. From the truly remote wilderness of the polar regions to the heat of the African plains Ben will take you on an inspirational visual journey to some of the world’s most beautiful locations - ending up nearer to home with a taste of an exciting new multi-media project about the Jurassic Coast.
