Outdoor Photography Adventures

There is something magical about black and white photography. It is a medium that is well known for adding atmosphere and mood and drama to photos. One where you can experiment with the contrast between light and shadow, without the distraction of colour.

In this workshop you will learn about the elements that make a great black and white photograph and apply that to a variety of subjects including architecture, street and portrait.

We'll have a series of exercises to work through to help you develop an eye for the subject.

We will also discuss how you can create a consistent body of work.
Join us for an informative and fun session!
