Details:
This is a project based workshop spread over 2 consecutive days. There is no accommodation included but if you are coming from outside the area please get in touch and I can give you some recommendations for places to stay.
The workshop will consist of 2 full days with roughly 5 hours of shooting in the morning followed by 3 hours in the studio each day. This may be modified to suit as the workshop progresses. So we may have slightly longer in the studio on the second day.
We will be starting at sunrise exploring the coastal landscapes at Bawdsey Quay on day one and Shingle Street on day two.
Your task is to produce a series of three images which should all work together – visually they should be strong individually but stronger as a whole. Your images should conform to one of the three themes and the triptych can be composed of images from either location, provided they all work well together.
We will cover:
Photo
How to shoot a sunrise (weather permitting), using filters and / or bracketing exposures.
Long exposure photography and the creative use of shutter speed to capture movement in water.
Composition and how to make the best of the available light.
Process and Project
How to use Lightroom and Photoshop to get the best out of your RAW files. I have two Macs in my studio for your use during the workshop. You are welcome to bring your own laptops or work on your images at home on the evening of day one.
We will discuss putting together a small body of work. Finding and sequencing images and processing them to visually compliment each other.
How to print your own images. We will discuss printers, printing profiles and paper choices and at the end of the session we will print your three panel images on some A3 fine art paper.
The workshop includes:
Notes for all three sections – these will be emailed to you before the workshop.
8 hours of tuition on each day split between the coast and my studio in Hollesley.
3 x A3 fine art prints of your triptych images presented in a portfolio box.
