For the slow motion videos, we used two Sony FS700 cameras.  These relatively inexpensive professional video cameras are all the buzz right now because they can film amazing High ISO 1080 video at 240 frames per second.  It's pretty cool to see this footage in such detail at these super fast frame rates.  For the lenses, I wanted the video to match the still shots so we used another Nikon 70-200 2.8 lens on one camera and the Canon 70-200 2.8 lens on the second camera.

Overall the entire photoshoot and event was a huge success.  I was able to photograph roughly 100 people in a single night and instantly created a unique portfolio full of taser reactions.  If you want to hear my thoughts on how I created this idea, built up the photography lighting, planned the slow motion shots, and hosted the entire event, check out the behind the scenes video below:

To your second point. With the amount of creative work being generated every minute in digital age almost every idea seams unoriginal and we see connections between projects (even if there are none) on a daily basis. I remember being really impressed with the posters for Nymphomaniac so this resemblance might be bigger in my head then it really is. Nonetheless, I really like the outcome of your work (which I failed to mention in my first post) and community approach to the whole project.

Phil retired as a Detective Inspector for policing after 30 years’ service. During this time, he performed roles in Uniform and CID in the Metropolitan Police, Hertfordshire, and in West Mercia Police. After leaving the police, Phil has lectured in Den Haag and Rwanda with the Public Prosecutors, worked with the UN in Uganda, and trained staff working in the hostile territories of South Sudan.

This had to be one of the most fun photo shoots you've ever done. Very dynamic! I dunno about that girl with the short hair, though...she seemed to enjoy it just a little too much. :)

Our Degree in Professional Policing (PPD) is licenced and validated by the College of Policing, the professional body for policing in England and Wales. This is the only qualification which enables you to apply for the ‘pre-degree' (PPD) entry route into the Police Service in England and Wales and meets the professional requirements for policing in the 21st century.

The overall lighting setup was pretty simple.  I used in total 3 Profoto D1 1000 Watt heads to craft the light on my subjects.  The key light was fitted with a small 2.7 x 2.7 softbox with the front diffusion panel removed to increase the contrast.  To help edge out my subjects from the background, I setup a larger 2' x 3' softbox behind and above my subjects.  The final D1 Monoblock was placed behind my subject to the left of the camera to give an even stronger edge light from the side.  In order to produce the fastest flash duration, I set my key light to full power (10) and set a correct exposure on my camera to compensate for the high amount of flash.

The BA (Hons) Degree in Professional Policing is one of three possible entry routes into policing and is a key part of the national policing agenda to professionalise the police service, recruitment into policing, widening participation and wider Policing Education Qualifications Framework (PEQF). As such, this qualification will allow students to pursue a career in policing as an approved and licenced qualification from the College of Policing. This helps to improve graduate prospects with regard to a future career in policing (subject to police force’s own recruitment criteria – see "Further employability information" below), or a related field.

Like many photographers, I have a ton of ideas floating around that I think would be great to explore.  This idea for a photo series showing people the second they are hit with a taser or stun gun has been something I have wanted to photograph for almost a year now.  Despite all the barriers it presented and the countless people who thought I was a sadist, crazy, or just outright irresponsible, I decided to finally stop talking about this idea and actually execute it.  The results were pretty hilarious.

You’ll also have the opportunity to develop communication and team working skills at our Lakeside Campus Days, where you will take part in outdoor activities as a team and you have the choice to volunteer with local organisations, including West Mercia Police, as a Special Constable or member of police staff; building on your practical experience throughout your studies. You'll learn from lecturers who are all retired officers with real-world experience, so you'll get a genuine taste of the work policing entails on a day-to-day basis and the type of work you could be doing after you graduate.

Each police force in England and Wales has its own recruitment process, selection policy and entry requirements and students who wish to apply to a police force should check their eligibility against the respective force’s own recruitment website. Police recruitment is managed by individual constabularies and involves rigorous background checks and recruitment processes that are separate to the University of Worcester’s admission policy and procedures. The University of Worcester has no influence over these external procedures and whilst admission onto this programme of study will enhance a student’s policing career prospects and provide them with the necessary licenced qualification it cannot guarantee students with a career in policing.

Students will be taught by a teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on the course and students will meet several current and former police practitioners throughout the programme. Teaching staff have significant policing and police leadership experience in key specialisms such as investigation, domestic violence and abuse, child protection, major incidents, covert policing, risk management and response policing. Staff have prior experience of policing within the University’s local community and are therefore able to utilise existing working relationships and partnership arrangements/ contacts within the delivery of the programme modules. Teaching staff also have prior experience of training operational police officers and staff and delivery and/or contribution to the development of College of Policing licenced programmes. All teaching staff are dual professionals, in that they hold relevant teaching qualifications; 50% of staff hold or are working towards a Level 7 teaching qualification and are Associate Fellows/ Fellows of the Higher Education Academy. This dual professionalism in teaching staff provides students with unparalleled access to real-life examples of theoretical content to aid and enhance their learning experience. You can learn more about the staff by visiting our staff profiles

The standard tuition fee for full-time international students enrolling on BA/BSc/LLB degrees and FdA/FdSc degrees in the 2025/26 academic year is £16,700 per year.

Every course has day-to-day costs for basic books, stationery, printing and photocopying. The amounts vary between courses.

I think we usually want to believe that someone is ripping off someone else when two ideas are similar. The Nymphomaniac posters are clearly a clever way to advertise the movie. I had no idea my series would produce the orgasmic reactions they have received until after I looked at the images (actually I could tell during the event itself). The test images mainly produced images of pain. Stylistically they are very different but the actual people do share similarities. Does anyone know if Von Trier or the photographer actually made the actors reach orgasm or were they simply acting?

Though this degree is primarily designed for students wishing to pursue a career as a police officer, the course is also suitable for students wishing to work in other law enforcement or investigative roles, for example; the National Crime Agency, Probation Service, Prison Service, local authority, banking and similar organisations where investigative or practical legal knowledge are required. The degree has a currency of 5 years following graduation, for police officer recruitment via the PPD route.

This is absolutely brilliant!!!! Ridiculously creative! Perhaps one of the most creative ideas I have seen all year! Well done Patrick!

Yeah I understand the differences but everyone knows the phrase Taser and it rolls off the lips better than "The Stun Gun Photoshoot". It would not be practical to shoot taser barbs into each participant.

Independent learning is supported by a range of excellent learning facilities, including the Hive and library resources, the virtual learning environment, and extensive electronic learning resources including the dedicated Professional Policing resources; which includes a University subscription to ‘Policing Insight’; an online virtual resource offering learning and research resources and access to ‘The Policing Student’, an online resource supporting students embarking on Professional Policing studies.

Simulation opportunities provide a teaching methodology to bridge theory and practice and are designed to enable students to understand and interpret the application of theory in a safe practice environment. Simulation allows students to discover ways in which the theory helps them to tackle real world policing situations, engage in professional and ethical practice and to develop practical skills in a safe and supportive environment. In these simulations, students broaden their learning and experience, being able to take risks, make mistakes, evaluate alternative policing approaches, and hone skills in a safe learning environment. It also allows students to address their learning needs which cannot be assured in the opportunistic learning environment provided in the role of a front-line police officer. Simulation will be undertaken in environments as close to reality as possible, utilising wider University Schools and facilities including the Medical Training Facilities, where students will take part in an inter-disciplinary simulation involving nursing students, in tackling confrontational patients, mental health patients and uncooperative, intoxicated patients where human volunteers, experienced actors and mannequins will simulate patients. This approach allows students to engage in experiential learning closely aligned to their levels of knowledge and experience as well as preparing them for future multi-agency and interdisciplinary police incidents with competing priorities posing ethical dilemmas. Simulation will enhance student competence and confidence; it also promotes and develops the sense of professionalism.

Upon achievement of the BA (Hons) Degree in Professional Policing award, the award has a currency of 5 years for students wishing to apply to join a police service via the ‘Pre-Join Degree’ pathway.

In addition to the contact time, you are expected to undertake up to 24 hours of personal self-study per week. Typically, this will involve researching, reading, planning and designing projects, completing formative and summative assignments, working with other students in group activities and meeting with your PAT or Supervisor, Academic Writer in Residence or Academic Librarian.

The Government has announced that it will increase tuition fees and maintenance loans by 3.1% from the 2025/26 academic cycle. Subject to approval, the University intends to increase our tuition fees in line with this and as per our terms and conditions. This means that from September 2025 the standard fee for full-time home and EU undergraduate students enrolling on BA/BSc/LLB degrees and FdA/FdSc degrees will be £9,535 per year.

integration of reflective practice throughout the programme across academic years. Theoretical modules provide the underpinning knowledge and intellectual skills as a foundation for both evidence-based practice and academic development. Students on the PPD will not be taught in isolated ‘policing only’ lectures; they will join inter-disciplinary modules (Law, Criminology and Sociology) throughout their degree studies so as to benefit from peer learning and differing perspectives to policing issues in order to further advance evidence based practice within their policing studies. This link with other academic disciplines, student bodies and Criminal Justice communities within a safe, learning environment is designed to encourage multi-agency working, broader thinking and enhance understanding of the wide reach of policing issues and strategies. This methodology is also designed to enhance communication skills between disciplines and encourage involvement of broader concepts in the design of evidence-based policing initiatives and research areas. Policing is not an isolated service in today’s modern society and therefore, those studying Professional Policing will also not be isolated from associated communities within the University student body.

Each person was tazed by their friend or significant other which created an interesting dynamic in itself.  The emotions on both sides of the taser were extremely entertaining to watch.  The person getting tazed was almost always nervous and jittery with either a sense of fear or anxiety.  The participants doing the tazing had a different demeanor altogether.  Most of them were excited to cause pain to their friend and only showed remorse immediately after executing the shock.  I wanted to record both of these reactions and you can see  a second slow motion edit of both people's reactions in the video below:

Don't tase me bro! The photoshoot looked interesting and the subjects were none worse for the wear and no lasting harm was done. I can't compare the pain of a taser, since I've never been tased, to that of having 700 or so cold cranking amps surging through my wedding ring.; but I received a third degree burn while replacing a boat battery and the pliers touched positive and negative. The pliers arched through my wedding ring. Fortunately, I had the sense of mind to get it cold and jumped in the lake in mid March in South Carolina. The lake temperature was probably about 50°F. I got to see what a tendon looks like. Fortunately, everything healed up. I now have a permanent wedding band tattoo. I wish I had taken photos of the recovery process since the healing process was quite amazing seeing the skin grow back.

Phil is very passionate about the future of policing and is looking forward to working at the University of Worcester to continue his teaching of potential police officers of the future.

The pre-join Degree in Professional Policing will provide you with an entry route into policing if you wish to study before you apply to join a police force and securing this degree before joining a police service also means you receive a shorter ‘probationary’ training period with a police service of your choice and entry at a higher salary.

Law with Politics at Worcester combines a strong foundation in core principles of law with a valuable insight into related areas of politics.

You may also consider a career outside of the police service, in the vast array of Criminal Justice agencies that work alongside the police and so this degree also benefits those seeking to want to understand more about the role of the police in consideration of a career in a partnership agency or working alongside police officers as a member of police support staff.

As I understand it, speedlights fire at full power each time but at lower power settings the circuit board stops the full power flash from completing (shortening flash duration). That's why speedlights have faster flash durations at lower power settings. Most studio strobes actually fill up a capacitor in preparation for a flash (depending on what power setting you have chosen) and they dump the capacitor completely with each flash. That's why you have to "dump" a studio strobe when you lower it's power setting.

When I envisioned this event, I knew I wanted to keep my subjects separated from the crowd and also have a clean background to film them against.  Instead of messing with paper or fabric backgounds, we setup two 7'x8' Lastolite Hilite backgrounds to form a little cove.  These Hilites are really useful for location shooting because they are easy to break down and can be used as HUGE softboxes if you fire lights inside of them.

Those joining the Police Service without a degree in professional policing are required to study this programme ‘in-force’ as part of a police apprenticeship programme or as an additional bolt-on Certificate if joining a police service via the ‘any relevant degree’ Degree-Holder Entry Programme. However, studying this degree at the University of Worcester prior to applying to join a police service via the ‘Pre-Degree’ route, provides students with the freedom to study this academic knowledge-based degree, based upon the national curriculum for the police constable role, whilst gaining valuable insight and experience from police practitioners and academics alike, in the comfort of University surroundings.

This was amazing I had a great time and hope that one day I can be as good as y'all are! If you ever need assistance in any way even if it's just bringing you coffee or carrying stuff I would be honored to do it just to learn something from y'all. Once again amazing amazing job!!!!

“Worcester stood out to me for the Professional Policing Degree because of their commitment to providing comprehensive support and guidance. Their close collaboration with West Mercia Police means you have access to a wide range of practical learning experiences and connections within the field. It's an excellent choice to launch your career in policing!”

Please note – studying this degree does not guarantee entry into a police service as a police officer. This degree provides you with the academic entry requirements for an application for the pre-join degree route into policing. Each police force in England and Wales sets its own recruitment process and selection criteria, with entry requirements varying between forces in addition to the degree requirement. Your education will continue ‘in force’ if you become a probationary police constable upon successful application. If you wish to use a pre-join degree as your entry route to the police service, you must apply to join a police force within five years of your graduation.

You will study response policing, community policing, public protection and criminal investigation strategies and techniques, including suspect interviewing. Policing strategies and models will be explored with an evidence-based approach throughout to embed research-based and critical thinking into operational decision-making, problem-solving and police practice. You’ll learn policing and criminological concepts to explain, prevent and detect crime, criminality and victimisation and will understand how these underpin both criminal justice practice and policing practice in England and Wales. You will practice applying your new knowledge in simulated practical policing scenarios on campus and at the local West Mercia Police Headquarters, whilst wearing the police uniform, to really give you the immersive learning experience.

You will be taught by a teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on the course.

The Government has announced that it will increase tuition fees and maintenance loans by 3.1% from the 2025/26 academic cycle. Subject to approval, the University intends to increase our tuition fees in line with this and as per our terms and conditions. This means that from September 2025 the tuition fees for part-time UK and EU students on BA/BSc/LLB degrees and FdA/FdSc degrees will be £1,190.83 per 15-credit module, £1,587.77 per 20-credit module, £2,381.66 per 30-credit module, £3,175.55 per 40-credit module, £3,572.50 per 45-credit module and £4,763.32 per 60 credit module.

My math is clearly wrong in the video (I don't actually know if it was at 1/8th or 1/4) but yes Profoto heads have shorter flash durations at full power. I was just with the Profoto rep last week and he confirmed it. B1s have fast T1 times at lowest power while D1 are the opposite and have fast T1 times at full power.

It reminds me of the Milgram experiment. I'm creeped out the photographer thought it'd be a great idea to find willing participants to actively hurt each other.

Assistant Chief Constable for West Mercia Police, Richard Cooper, visited the University to welcome its first Professional Policing cohort. Several members of the police service attended to mark the occasion and speak to the students about a career in policing.

What I found most interesting about the reactions people showed while getting tazed was you never knew how they would react.  Some people screamed while others were quiet.  A few people looked like they were experiencing pleasure while others had the most painful faces I've ever seen.  I saw jumpers and fallers.  People laughed and people cursed.  I even had about four guys and girls who did not react at all and seemed to be completely unphased by the 300,000 volts of electricity.

You will receive feedback on practice assessments and on formal assessments undertaken by coursework. Feedback on examination performance is available upon request from the module leader. Feedback is intended to support learning and you are encouraged to discuss it with personal academic tutors and module tutors as appropriate

Cool video!!! It was funny to watch. The lighting, music and over all mood was serious, but their faces were hilarious! The feel is like the combination of sweet and salty. Really super cool, I watched all the videos and looked at all the pictures! And i can defiantly say that I would never let anyone touch me with a taser. Ever.

In a typical week students will have around 12-15 contact hours of teaching. The precise contact hours will depend on taught modules and in the final year there is normally slightly less contact time in order to do more independent study.

woah bad accident man... I served in my country's artillery division as compulsory national service. the training sergeant warned us about the lead batteries by placing a spanner to short circuit the battery. He pressed a tad too hard the whole spanner's head melted and sputtered around. luckily no one got hurt.

Timetables are normally available one month before registration. Please note that whilst we try to be as student friendly as possible, scheduled teaching can take place on any day of the week and some classes can be scheduled in the evenings.

If your course offers a placement opportunity, you may need to pay for an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.

The course provides opportunities to assess knowledge, understanding and learning informally through the completion of practice or ‘formative’ assignments and individual assessment tutorials with Module Tutors. Each module has one or more formal or ‘summative’ assessment which is graded and counts towards the overall module grade. The assessment schedule is balanced so as not to ‘overload’ the student with submission deadlines and summative assessments designed in relation to course and module learning outcomes (constructive alignment). Module learning outcomes will be assessed in isolation within summative assessments; assessments are not designed to continually require a student to achieve learning outcomes more than once in more than one assessment. This is to add clarity and comprehension to assessment briefs for the benefit of the learners and their clear development and progression routes; throughout the programme and modules themselves within Semesters.

I wasn't thinking about that. I'm right-handed, but my left hand had better access to the battery. Two doctors, one a friend who saw me after it happened and my regular doctor who I saw the next day, told me afterwards that they thought I would lose the finger. My GP gave me instructions for cleaning and care, but after a few days, I got depressed after seeing nothing happening. I went to the nurse at work and said "Don't worry, this didn't happen here." and told her what happened and the care. She suggested adding hydrogen peroxide as part of the cleaning process; that hurt like hell, but I started seeing results. I knew that my finger would be intact.

Assessments take many forms and include reflective writing, the development of policy briefs, applied case studies, audio-visual presentations, or the use of digital software. Some of the assessment items within the PPD have been designed to reflect the professional requirements of report and document writing within policing. The precise assessment requirements for an individual student in an academic year will vary according to the mandatory modules taken, but a typical summative assessment pattern for each level is as follows:

Yea, this was 11 on a scale of 10; it felt like a hundred yellow jackets. I wasn't worried about electrocution when I jumped in the lake since I broke the circuit when I dropped the pliers.

In addition, meetings with Personal Academic Tutors are scheduled on at least four occasions in the first year and three occasions in each of the other years of a course. Students are also able to access tutorials with the module team and final year dissertation supervision. The University places emphasis on enabling students to develop the independent learning capabilities that will equip them for lifelong learning and future employment, as well as academic achievement. A mixture of independent study, teaching and academic support from Student Services and Library Services, and the Personal Academic Tutoring system enables students to reflect on progress and build up a profile of skills, achievements and experiences that will help them to flourish and be successful.

After graduating with her LLB, Michelle joined the West Mercia Police Service and during a 17-year career in policing, served in a variety of roles, achieving the rank of Detective Sergeant. Michelle’s policing experience was predominantly dedicated to the investigation of serious and interfamilial crime within specialist CID units, with Michelle specialising in domestic violence and abuse investigations. In the latter years of her service, Michelle co-ordinated and led the training and development of all newly recruited detectives across both West Mercia Police and Warwickshire Police.

Reflecting the national police eligibility criteria, all students must hold a Level 2 qualification at GCSE grade C/4 or above in both English Language and Mathematics (in keeping with police force entry requirements).

Please note, the BA (Hons) Degree in Professional Policing does not guarantee entry into employment as a police constable or any police staff position. It is tailored towards developing the skills, knowledge, understanding, experience and personal confidence students will need to apply for any of the posts offered by a police service. It will also prepare students for other roles in the increasingly pluralised environment of policing in the UK.

This is a really interesting thought. I have always questioned a musician's credibility when their song sounds exactly like a popular song. How could they ripped another artist off? But in this case, I have never heard of this Nymphomaniac movie until yesterday and yet the concept is pretty similar. I think it just goes to show how unoriginal most ideas are AND how easy it is to correlate two events that actually have nothing to do with each other. These images are so awesome for the theme of that movie though. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.

Phil is current doing a Masters by Research where he is researching police legitimacy, focusing on those working within and alongside the criminal justice system. He is also writing about the plight of those awaiting outcomes of police investigations from the standpoint of a defendant.

Teaching is research led; the National Police Curriculum is developed and augmented by staff who have researched and written extensively on many areas of policing, from the history of policing and police leadership, multi-agency partnerships, public order and the hidden aspects of police corruption and deviance. Teaching will relate to real-world examples and ‘lived experiences’, whether in relation to police practice, the behaviour of individuals or the specifics of legislation, policy, procedures and strategies and implementation of such into practice. The teaching team will draw on relevant research, analysis and evaluation, use current literature such as Serious Case Reviews, government and policing reports, world news and social media publications and wider media sources, such as documentaries and podcasts, to consider and introduce alternative views, perspectives and evidence within the examination of policing and the wide, diverse and far-ranging societies and communities it serves. Teaching aims to encourage and support students to take responsibility for their own learning, to become increasingly independent and autonomous in their academic and professional development. This approach further seeks to foster an understanding and adoption of a lifelong approach to learning, firmly embedded in professional practice. Teaching is fundamental in attaining this realisation through the

I explain the entire setup in the Behind the Scenes video below but I'll outline it here as well.  For the camera, I decided to shoot with the new Nikon D810 DSLR.  It has 36mp which allowed me to shoot a little less tight and still retain a high amount of resolution if I needed to crop.  Having people jumping around in the frame can make it difficult to compose the perfect shot so I often shot a little wider to give me some flexibility.  The lens used was the Nikkor 70-200 2.8 because it gives a nice compression to the portraits.

While interesting my only problem is that this using a Taser its a Stungun. A Taser is a gun like device that fires 2 darts on a wire from a distance into the subject. Its nastier and more effective by the fact you have a set of darts embedded in your skin raising the conductive potential of the the charge.

Our courses are informed by research and current developments in the discipline and feedback from students, external examiners and employers. Modules do therefore change periodically in the interests of keeping the course relevant and reflecting best practice. The most up-to-date information will be available to you once you have accepted a place and registered for the course. If there are insufficient numbers of students interested in an optional module, this might not be offered, but we will advise you as soon as possible and help you choose an alternative.

As a portrait photographer, I am always trying to make people feel comfortable in front of my camera so I can capture a real emotion from them.  But what if I was able to make people feel so uncomfortable in front of the camera that I could guarantee an interesting portrait every time?  This is the idea behind my latest series:  The Stun Gun Photoshoot.  I've edited two different videos as well as a behind the scenes in the full post below.

Professional development of employability skills is integrated throughout the programme, module design and assessment strategy to build a spiral curriculum, enhancing knowledge, understanding, competencies and attributes as you progress through Levels 4-6. Assessment includes a focus on enabling learners to use reflective practice and approaches to continuous professional development, to inform solutions for self-improvement and self-development. The programme will provide graduates with a set of intellectual, social and practical skills, as well as knowledge that employers will find attractive.

Teaching adopts a blended, approach combining face to face, on campus learning with synchronous and asynchronous teaching sessions to creates a stimulating, flexible and exciting learning experience for students. Formal lectures and seminars are complemented by a ‘flipped classroom’ approach, a blended learning strategy that reverses traditional learning. It is an active learning approach that requires students to complete a range of pre-reading of key information provided via the VLE, prior to attending lectures, which then forms the basis of in-class discussion, activities, and projects.

We would strongly advice that students become familiar with the recruitment requirements and eligibility criteria for the police force to which they intend to apply to (those students wishing to become a police officer). Students should be aware of this separate employment criteria and note that entry requirements into a career in policing are subject to individual constabulary police recruitment processes, which includes vetting checks, application sift, assessment centre, final interview, medical and fitness. The degree programme will not be suitable for candidates whose sole ambition is to become a police officer, but for certain factors, will not be able to meet the eligibility criteria (e.g a conviction for certain criminal offences). Police forces also require a minimum education level of a level 2 qualification in English Language & Mathematics at a GCSE grade C or above, or grades 4-9.

If these are traditional flashes, then yes. If these are IGBT units, the opposite is true. I'm not familiar with these lights. I would like to get myself a set of IGBT lights, they're really handy when doing fashion work where a model is always moving about, although sometimes you want the longer duration of traditional units when you want a little motion blur in hair and clothing.

You have a very creative eye sir. My hat's off to you. It reminded me of the photo that Philippe Halsman took of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor who he had asked to jump for the photo (http://life.time.com/history/the-best-of-life-37-years-in-pictures/attac...). These odd posings and/or actions seem to get to the spirit of the people. Also my compliments to your models and crew.
