‘The
Photographer’s Eye'
Have you spent money on a camera but are frustrated that you
can’t use it properly? Bought good equipment and want to maximise
your investment? Then consider a 1 day photography workshop
with Timothy Alexander.
‘The Photographer’s Eye’ workshop provides opportunity to
spend a day learning the basics of good image
making. As a photographer I am most influenced by the art of
photography and its creative possibilities, rather than the
science and theory, believing that the most important tool
is the photographers eye, not their camera - although a
solid understanding of camera basics is useful and will be
covered throughout the day.
All workshops are limited in size, with a minimum of 3 and a
maximum of 5 participants - allowing for lots of personal
attention and intensive learning. I try to keep things
simple, believing that photography is often over complicated
and is learnt best by getting out and about and making
photographs for yourself.
My aim is to develop what you see and to improve your
ability to capture it. To move away from using the ‘Auto’
mode on your camera, becoming more familiar with and
confident in the use of Aperture and Shutter Priority modes
- to quickly transfer theory into practice through hands-on
experimentation. The workshop is also a great opportunity to
connect with and learn from other aspiring local
photographers. |
