Dates: Saturday 4th & 11th July 2009
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) the way the you see it, and perhaps more importantly how you want your audience to see it. The small numbers allow for discreet 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 designed 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.

QUOTE
"Expecting a typical, “this is how to use your digital camera” course, I was pleasantly surprised to find so much more including questions such as, "Why am I taking this picture?" and "Where should I position myself to make this interesting?"
