This workshop will focus on the themes and techniques required to capture the essence, diversity and dynamism of our urban environments – a subject often overlooked by landscape photographers.
You will learn about the alternative approaches to capturing successful urban images – including cityscapes, buildings, structures, spaces, architectural details and abstracts.
We will consider the relationships with documentary and street photography, and examine the following urban themes: moods and emotions; movement, energy and flow; urban geometry; natural and human-made elements
These perspectives and techniques will enable you to take on an urban project that reflects your creative interests and feelings about a place.
An essential element of this package is the pre-workshop briefing. This includes a comprehensive set of notes with some inspiration ideas to help you prepare for the session, select an assignment and learn more about the chosen location.
