8 projects in 16 weeks – Limited to 10 places

“Excellent workshop, can’t think of anything to change, well structured, great conversations, excellent tutor etc.”

If you’re ready to evolve from single hero images to producing projects and bodies of work, then we have the perfect development program for you. This workshop consists of inspiring education and 8 imaginative and executable project briefs shot over a 16 week period with constructive, insightful feedback on each project.

Course Outline:

The 2 hour sessions will be delivered every other week, consisting of an image review from the previous session (3 images per participant), followed by the next project brief and educational framework to equip you with the skills to execute it.

Each session will look at a different photographer, their philosophy, aims and objectives and creative outlook. Working this way will enable you to understand your own artistry and develop your own creative style and vision.

You will then have two weeks to shoot the brief, making this a very practical, hands on learning experience.

Dates:

8 sessions delivered in an online interactive format via zoom from 18:00 – 20:00, enabling participants from all over the world to participate.

Session 1 – Jan 12

Session 2 – Jan 26

Session 3 – Feb 9

Session 4 – Feb 23

Session 5 – Mar 5

Session 6 – Mar 23

Session 7 – Apr 6

Session 8 – Apr 20

Places will be limited to 10, so join a community of like minded creatives for a journey that will energise you, develop your vision and you as an artist.

Simon will need access to your email address to enable him to send you any workshop information – we will presume that by booking this course you are giving permission unless you contact us to state otherwise.
