One-day Photography Workshops
Location: Central London.
These one-day workshops are for anyone wanting to take control of their camera in a more creative way. Either with one-to-one tuition or in small groups, you will explore the sights of London while developing an understanding of basic photographic techniques such as:
- Composition, framing, the use of colour, tone and textures.
- How the choice of aperture affects depth of field
- Creative use of shutter speed
- How to use the white balance control
- The relationship between the choice of lens focal length and image perspective
- Understanding exposure, metering and histograms
- ISO and noise
During the workshop, you will be given a number of interesting projects to do, which will help you to understand composition and apply the techniques we cover in the workshop.
Designed just for YOU
Before booking onto a workshop, please phone me for a telephone consultation, together we will plan the elements of your workshop, the topics we aim to cover and the locations we will photograph, ensuring that your workshop is tailored to meet your needs and interests. So for example, if you are interested in learning how to balance flash fill-in with day light or photograph night scenes, that can be incorporated into the workshop. Or if there is a particular location that interests you, we can visit that too.
Once a booking has been made, whether the booking was just for yourself, or included one or two friends, I will not book anyone one else onto that workshop, as that workshop will be tailor made just for you.
What you will need to bring:
- Camera (SLR or compact)
- Tripod (let me know if you haven't got one)
- Spare cards/film
- Your camera's manual
- If you are using an SLR or DSLR, please bring what ever additional lenses you have
- Notebook and pen
If you are unsure as to whether your camera is suitable for the workshop, please contact me.
What happens during the workshop?
The workshop will begin at the Abba Hotel, Queens Gate, South Kensington, London, where we will meet for an initial tutorial, before heading out to take photographs. You will be given interesting projects to help consolidate the topics covered during the tutorial and during the day, we will return to the Abba Hotel for additional tutorials and to assess your work. Refreshments can be purchased here if required.
