ON THE DAY

WORKSHOP DETAILS

Dates: Saturday 16th & 23rd August 2008
Time: 10:30am - 4:30pm

HOW IS THE COURSE TAUGHT?
The two day course is taught In small groups (no more than 6 people). You will learn how to capture the delightful East End (Shoreditch, Spitalfields, Brick Lane) the way the you see it, and perhaps more importantly how you want your audience to see it. The small numbers allow for discrete street photography and personalised tuition.
Everyone will gain something regardless of his/her specific approach or technical level. The workshop will combine concise classroom tuition and outdoor adventures, with an emphasis on putting into practice the skills gained immediately - supported by helpful guidance, care and attention.

You will carry out a number of challenges aimed to exercise different techniques, practice new skills and encourage creative experimentation. Individuals will have the opportunity to pursue the ideas and techniques that most interest them with as much guidance as is required.
There will be opportunities to review the photos from the day and the time between the course days can be used for further practice with the opportunity for feedback on the second day.

BEFORE THE DAY

WHAT IS IT?
The Street Photography & Camera Handling workshop will equip you with essential camera handling tips and a correct approach to expand your photographic knowledge. We will boost your skill set giving you the creative freedom to successfully capture the city's streets.

You will never see the streets or your camera in the same light again!

PRICE: The course is �200 plus VAT for two days

WHO IS IT FOR?
• You know your aperture from your shutter speed and want to use them instinctively, allowing you to work effectively and creatively with your camera.
• You're proud of your camera but not all of your pictures.
• You've got ideas and projects but find yourself missing the technical depth or experience to realise them.

If you have answered yes to any of the above then this workshop is for you!

You will need your own digital SLR camera and know its basic functions and capacities. This course is suitable for both beginner and intermediate levels.

WHO WILL BE TEACHING THE COURSE?
You will be in the capable hands of our very own Toby Smith who has been judge, photographer and technical manager of all things Shoot Experience from the beginning. Toby has six years of experience behind the lens in both contemporary and commercial fields. His current project involves photographing every UK power station by night on an old-fashioned plate camera. He manages a Photography studio in East London and has taught practical photography everywhere from East Africa to the East Midlands.

QUOTE
"I think the content of the course was good for me - knowing about how light affects a picture and how to manipulate that, along with the length of exposure was really useful and I'm still playing around."
