Light and photography

Saturday 22 August
Hampstead High Street, London NW3 - 10am - 2 Hours
Richard Treister
It is not possible to capture great images without an awareness of light and how it produces amazing photographs. In this workshop we will work with natural daylight and reflectors to catch the best natural light. The session will focus on identifying different types of light outdoors, but more importantly how we are able to adapt and modify the existing light we have in any scene.

We will also be looking at how to use fill-in flash outdoors.

    Hampsted is a great location for this class tho on a Saturday gets busier throughout the morning, as a suggestion start even 15 mins earlier? As a complete novice the 3 hours went really quickly and I learnt a little bit about aperture, shutter speed etc. I didn?t get to learn about the camera and all the settings which I thought we might cover. Teacher was fine, kept asking us questions which was good but being new to this was never sure of the answers. For the little that we learnt, I felt ?70 paid was a lot.

    It was a fantastic workshop about the composition in photography. Richard provided very good tips to approach a scene and change our point of view. I loved when he showed us how the background (and thus the scene) changes when you move around the subject - simple concept but it makes a huge difference! Richard is an amazing teacher, I'm looking forward to attending another workshop with him.
