Bruges with its cobblestone streets, serene canals, and medieval buildings, provides endless opportunities for capturing postcard-worthy shots - whether it's the iconic Belfry tower, the charm of Markt Square, or the peaceful reflections on the canals at golden hour.

Both cities boast an incredible ambiance, especially in early morning or evening light, perfect for photographers chasing dramatic compositions and unique perspectives.

Today we'll be looking at the work of the Italian artist Caravaggio. Caravaggio adopted chiaroscuro in his paintings in the 16th century- his work beautifully combines a realistic view of the human state- physical and emotional- with a dramatic use of lighting.
Chiaroscuro is an Italian term referencing the contrast of light (chiar) and dark (oscuro) to model three-dimensional forms. It’s a style that has quite dramatic results and one that photographers can learn a lot amount about lighting from studying.
Join us for a workshop in 2 parts:
- Informative session on the incredibly interesting life and work of Caravaggio

- We will also discuss street photography tips
EQUIPMENT:
- Any camera
