In these new WOW style apprentice films John and Osy the original PT4U apprentices join Mark Cleghorn on location were he sets out to shoot images to WOW! On the rocks is the wedding theme, a Jurassic coastline is the location for the second WOW Apprentice shoot on a cold day. The images are dynamic through the combination of location and model and brought further to life with some post production. Unlike previous apprentice films this time the boys get to see Mark working in his real and raw style but at the same time getting to ask why and how, something all photographers want to know. Mark tries to explain his thinking process when shooting to help the apprentices get a little more inside his head and thoughts as well as seeing the shot develop from location to location.
