When Skill Isn’t Enough: Why Personal Brand Wins in the Social Media Era
In this seminar, Benjamin J. Marshall shares his journey through professional sport and content creation, from working with Exeter Chiefs and Six Nations Championship to creating content for Gymshark and documenting adventures with Ross Edgley on YouTube.
Drawing on real-world experiences from elite sport, brand campaigns, and social media, Benjamin explores how developing a personal brand can open doors that technical skill alone cannot. He will discuss why audiences connect with people more than portfolios, how authentic content builds trust, and why brands increasingly value creators who can engage communities as well as produce high-quality work.
Attendees will hear practical insights into building an online presence, creating content that resonates with audiences, and why positioning themselves not just work is imperative for new opportunities in an increasingly creator-driven industry.

Portrait photography: More than a face.
What makes a portrait truly memorable? It’s rarely just the lighting, the lens or the camera. The strongest portraits come from a balance of technical control, creative intention and genuine human connection.
Join portrait photographer Hannah Couzens for an inspiring talk exploring how technical decisions and personal interaction work together to create compelling portraits. Through real-world examples and behind-the-scenes stories, Hannah will share how conversation, light, composition and timing can all combine to bring out the best in your subject.
This session will look beyond camera settings and equipment, focusing on the choices that help shape mood, character and connection within a portrait. From building trust with your subject to making small lighting and compositional decisions that elevate an image, Hannah will offer practical insight for photographers looking to create stronger, more engaging portraits.

From Still to Motion
Photographers already know more about video editing than they think. Many of the skills used every day in photo editing, from colour, contrast and cropping to layers, sequencing and visual storytelling, can translate naturally into video workflows.
Join Ian Sayers for a practical and reassuring session designed to help photographers take their first steps into video editing with confidence. Ian will show how familiar Photoshop skills can translate directly into Adobe Premiere Pro, and how workflows in Affinity and Capture One can provide a strong foundation for moving into DaVinci Resolve.
This session is ideal for photographers who want to start creating video content but feel unsure where to begin. By connecting familiar stills-editing techniques with video-editing tools, Ian will make the move from still images to motion feel simple, logical and accessible.
Perfect for photographers, content creators and hybrid shooters looking to expand their creative workflow.
