Creative Flower Photography
£149.00
This one day workshop explores a range of creative flower techniques, showing you how you can elevate your flower photography to a new artistic level.
About the Course
This one day course is limited to a maximum of six students and is a mixture of a classroom-based illustrated presentation with plenty of hands on practice with a range of creative table top set-ups. These will include working with frozen flowers, flowers in water and using intentional camera movement to create a wonderful impressionistic feel to your images. Delegates will leave the course with a print of their favourite image from the day and lots of ideas and inspiration for creating new images at home.
This course is suitable for students with DSLR or mirrorless cameras. You’ll also need a macro lens or lens with a macro function is perfect for this type of photography, but a standard zoom – 28-70mm or equivalent – will also work very well.
To get the most out of the course students should already understand the basics of exposure, shutter speed, aperture and ISO; and be comfortable handling their cameras using aperture/shutter priority or fully manual mode.
