The Studio and Portrait Group 

Open sessions are held regularly throughout the season for studio members. These are notified in the Syllabus and are practical sessions preferably based on a theme for the night. Group Members are encouraged to contribute to the sessions and where a model is hired a shared cost of around £4 – £5 may be charged. More detail on each session will be posted, where appropriate nearer to each session, announcing the theme and who is leading. Any Studio Member who has a specific suggestion for a theme or who would like to lead a session, please contact the Group Secretary (malkitbenning@gmail.com) .

Studio members are able to book and use the studios once you have read the documents below and watched the videos.  If you have not used the EPS studios, in addition to reading the documents and watching the videos you also need to be inducted in the equipment, pay for a studio subscription and get a fob so you can access Studio 1.  Studio 2 is accessed using a code which will be provided.
