November 21st 2011 – Len Dance seminar, “Born in the Fast Lane”. Lancaster House Hotel. LA1 4GJ. Through several boom times and several recessions, across all different genres of photography, Len Dance has excelled and prospered. This is a must-see seminar if you want to find out how to succeed at what your doing, and how to make money along the way.


Len's career in photography


is extraordinary, an ordinary kid, born in the east end of London,


on a Tuesday night at 8pm un- less otherwise stated. For further details please contact Central Chairman Colin Clark on 01763 242126 or email


his house is now occupied by the fast lane of the M25, but Len was definitely already there long before the motorway was built. He became a majorly successful press photographer, shooting the queen, Sinatra, the Kennedys, Sophia Loren and countless others. At the height of his career he grew bored, and switched track completely into industrial and advertising. Once again, he built a successful career in this area shooting all over the world for major corporations and clients. 20 years ago, he switched careers for the third time, and opened a portrait and wedding studio in Southend on Sea, which he ran until selling it two years ago.


Len will tell you how success is within the reach of anyone, and how it can be achieved while retaining your integrity and honour.


This seminar will open your eyes to what is possible, and expand your horizons with simple techniques that work time and time again. His talk on "clock face" lighting, a system developed by him to give consistent and repeatable results depending on the required effect with lights in any position is worth attending for alone. At £40 for members Pre- booked and £50 for non- members & on door including food, it’s a steal. Invest in yourself and come
