Brutalist Barbican - Seeing Architecture in a New Way

The Barbican with its brutal but beautiful architecture is the subject for today's workshop. With its coarse concrete surfaces, elevated gardens, high-rise towers along with the element of light and shadow, the Barbican is an amazing place to photograph whether skies are blue or grey.

Meet other fellow photographers whilst we wander through the varied grounds photographing the architecture, light and shadow, abstract, fountains and water and everything that makes up the brutalist Barbican complex.

We have a series of exercises to help you capture the beauty of the architecture of the Barbican, looking at things a little differently and get the best out of your day. We'll end the session over a cup of tea or coffee discussing what we've managed to achieve.
