Abstract photography may seem like a bit of a contradiction, as we think about photographs as accurately capturing the real world. So, how is it possible to photograph in an abstract style, and enjoy the artistic freedoms of a painter or sculptor? By looking at the world around us in a different way, and focusing on details such as textures, colours, shapes, and patterns, you can find art in everything and produce stunning images fit for a gallery.
This workshop is limited to a maximum of 4 students, so that everyone gets the time and attention they need to explore their creative side.
The first thing you’ll do on the workshop is to find examples of abstract art in the room; you’ll be asked to notice patterns, colours, and textures – details your eye normally skims over without second thought. The aim of this workshop is to get you thinking like an artist, and taking stunning abstract shots you’ll be proud to hang on your wall.
Prior to attending, it wouldn’t be a bad idea just to check out a few examples of abstract art and photography, in a book or online, and if you’re super keen, why not visit a gallery too!
Do I need to be a “Photoshop wizard” to come on the course??
Definitely not! No prior Photoshop knowledge is necessary to attend this workshop. The tutor will teach you everything you need to know, and give you as much support as you need!
