What you'll do
Photography is an intricate study that can fill a lifetime, literally! Not only in terms of learning and implementing technical elements of how to control exposure and light but understanding the wonders of composition and how to create strong, engaging and memorable imagery.In this workshop, which is perfect for photographers of all levels, we discover how to create a well-composed picture and how to communicate its message clearly and effectively. Get behind the lens and discover endless photographic opportunities. We will show you how to come away with some great pictorial stories.Taking control of the camera is one thing but taking control of your vision is another. Composition uses forms, shadows, colours and lines and is key to crafting a work that can truly be called art. You will learn to compose with a depth of field as well as learn the very important skill of planning and positioning background elements to set the subject.Also, explore the various ways to use light in your images and the effects we can create using different shutter speeds. Most importantly you will learn in easy steps how to use composition to create stunning photographs.In this Sydney workshop, as in all our workshops, our philosophy is to practise as we learn. We will set you assignments to complete in your own time as well.What we cover:
