Snap Skool - Capturing the Ness
Do you love exploring? Do you love nature and being creative? Why not become a visual detective and explore the beauty, diversity and history of Orford Ness through the camera's lens. Join us on our half day practical photography workshop.
- Booking essential
The workshop explores Orford Ness in a creative and playful way. You will learn how to use a DSLR camera whilst developing a creative understanding of designing and composing landscape and detailed imagery.
You will use scavenger hunts and creative challenges to drive your ideas and imagination.
We will look at macro photography and how to document and photograph found items in an innovation and artistic way. You will also have the opportunity to experiment with light and create a Cyantone image using the power of the sun.
All equipment is supplied providing access to a DSLR camera. You are, however, welcome to bring your own camera or you can even use your phone camera if you'd prefer.
