Description
Creative Macro Heathland Workshop – photo, process and print
Friday 15th August 2025 – 6.30am – 2pm
4 places available. Cost includes an A3 fine art print of your work.
Join me for a two part macro workshop which will be split between Hollesley Common and my studio in Hollesley.
During the workshop we will be looking for the beauty in the ordinary focusing on all the small details that we might usually overlook.
Aims:
To understand how to create artistic macro shots by shooting through foliage, using selective blur and working with colour combinations.
To understand how to work in a series instead of individual shots. How to get images to flow together and compliment each other in respect of subject, colour combinations and visual flow when displayed side by side. We will look at how to create triptychs using our series of images and I will show you how to lay these out for print or to save as a jpeg.
At the end of the workshop we will print one image each on A3 fine art paper.
The workshop will start just after sunrise to make the most of the early morning low light.
The second half of the day will be spent in my studio at Hollesley reviewing the images and discussing post processing. You will have the opportunity to process your favourite image from the morning session which we will then print on A3 fine art paper so that you will leave the workshop with a print from the session.
I have two Macs in my studio for your use during the workshop. We will discuss post processing and printing and then you will be working in pairs to process your favourite image for print.
A means of getting your images onto the Mac in my studio. The Mac will take SD cards but if you have anything different to this in your camera please bring a card reader or a cable for your camera.
