Description

Street Photography Weston-Super-Mare – Simon Ellingworth

Only 6 Places for this Face to Face Workshop

This in-person Weston-Super-Mare Street Photography Workshop is suitable for photographers at all levels including beginners.

Unlike a traditional workshop with a fixed agenda, our learning is bespoke to the small group of 6.

We start the day over a coffee and discuss where attendees are, what they’d like to achieve long term and what they’d like to achieve on the day.

The small group will be led by multi award winning photographer Simon Ellingworth and he will share his favourite Weston-Super-Mare locations in the area.

During the initial briefing you will learn techniques to enable you to:

• Compose quicker
• To craft more creative and compelling compositions
• To work faster to get every opportunity
• To shoot through moments to get more keepers
• To slow down and really start to read the street
• Rethink street photography in very simple terms

We will discuss how to approach each location, overall vision, composition, perspective, etc and explore techniques including hand held longer exposure.

 

You will have the opportunity to explore each location and shoot under the watchful eye of Simon.

Why will this make me a better photographer?

This is a full day of practical development, with lots of one to one attention and shooting time which will push you beyond your current skill base.

Key Learning points:

– Learning to see opportunity

– Vision and execution

– Getting great images out of camera

– Hand held log exposure

– Refining composition

What’s included?

A full day of location tuition and shooting around Weston-Super-Mare.
