Fine Art Photography Workshop

This learning opportunity will encompass a wide range of genres – all united by their focus on artistic expression and aesthetic value, rather than documentary or commercial purposes. These genres will often explore themes, emotions and concepts, pushing the boundaries of traditional photography. Fine Art images are generally intended to be appreciated as works of art. The morning session will explore some of the types of work in this genre of photography and how the images could be created. A few set-ups will then be put together, along with an opportunity to capture some images. The afternoon session will be a demonstration session looking at various editing techniques and tools provided by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop. The techniques and tools used can be easily transferred to other editing programs. Although knowledge of editing is not a prerequisite, an understanding of layers, masks and blending modes would be an advantage.
