Night Portraits : Street Photography

Visit a Museum to See Caravaggio's Cupid & Workshop
Roasting Coffee Plant, 46 S Molton St, London W1K 5RX, London, GBToday we are incredibly fortunate to have an opportunity to see the work of the Italian artist Caravaggio. We will discuss his life and his art before visiting the Wallace Collection to see Caravaggio's Cupid, entry is free. Then we'll head out to apply chiaroscuro and shoot high contrast images.
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 3 parts:
- Part 1: Informative session on the incredibly interesting life and work of Caravaggio
- Part 2: Visit the museum
- Part 3: Shoot chiaroscuro style
- We will also discuss street photography tips
EQUIPMENT:
- Any camera
- Any lens such as a standard 18-55, 24-70mm etc.
OTHER ESSENTIALS
- A fun and experimental attitude!
