DEGAS–Focus Point(e): Impressionist Photography

DEGAS 📸🩰
Focus Point(e): Impressionist Photography

DPL is happy to bring back a favoured DPL workshop–DEGAS! This time, however, we will focus less on the theatrics to create the famous Degas imagery and more on camera techniques to capture an Impressionist image.

Our last two workshops have explored capturing dance in movement. This time it is YOU the photographer who will be doing the moving, playing with panning and zooming on a (mostly) still body.

Take a look at some of the images we managed to capture at previous Degas workshops. What might you do differently to create the effect of Impressionism? Using slightly different techniques we will explore:

◼️ Intentional Camera Movement
◼️ Various Focus Techniques
◼️ Capturing Texture

This whorkshop will be led by Michelle Buckley (professional dancer & co-founder/director of DPL) and Nick Gregan (professional photographer & author). Together, we will guide you through this specially curated workshop, using the specific techniques to create Impressionist Photography.
