Cinematic Photography: Painting with Shadows and Light

Night cinematic photography is the art of transforming darkness into drama. It’s where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and every frame tells a story bathed in moonlight, neon glow, or the subtle flicker of street lamps. Unlike daytime photography, night shoots demand a heightened sensitivity to mood, contrast, and atmosphere-making it a playground for visual storytellers.

This workshop is designed to help you see cinematic style photography. We will focus on street life in London using ambient light to capture cinematic style images.

Using a 50mm prime (or 35mm prime) we'll be working without a tripod, hand holding at night.

This workshop is aimed at people with:

• All abilities
• Any camera
• Support will be given with camera settings

RECOMMENDED KIT

• Any lens will work but a 35mm or 50mm F1.8 is recommended
• No tripod is needed

OTHER ESSENTIALS
