Photography Workshop - Light, Composition and Storytelling
Storytelling is at the heart of good photography. It's not just about documenting a scene in front of us, it's about generating thoughts in the viewer that go beyond the image.
In order to be able to create storytelling images consistently, an understanding of light and composition are crucial. The content of a photo - what's actually in it - is only one aspect of an image. How that content is arranged and lit can dramatically affect its mood and emotion.
On Sunday 15th February, assisted by Lynne Atkinson of Alice Rose Portraits, I'm running a photography workshop in Castle Douglas on Light, Composition and Storytelling. This workshop is designed to teach techniques to improve the impact of your photography.
Details below, but if you would like to book a place on the course either email or phone me, or follow this link and scroll down to Week 3 - 15th Feb:
