So much goes into the taking of a photograph, including: the rule of thirds, depth of field, perspective, pattern and repetition of shapes. Whatever photographic genre you are interested in, the same rules of composition apply. In this workshop we touch on these basic principles, and go beyond to explore emotion, intent, and the subjectivity that a photographer brings to the same scene, each creating a singular image.

We will look at, and talk about, the work of well-known photographers, and the work of your classmates, both past and new works. There will be simple assignments throughout the sessions to put into practice what we discuss. All levels and cameras welcome.
