Architecture Photography

Architecture Photography

Sunday 29 December
Bethesda Ave - 1pm - 2 Hours

Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Abstract Photography

In this workshop, we will explore the art of creating striking and thought-provoking images through the use of abstraction.

Our experienced instructor will guide you through the process of understanding and applying the principles of abstract photography, including composition, color, and texture. We will cover topics such as finding inspiration in everyday objects, experimenting with different angles and perspectives.

    Andrew was knowledgable and flexible, but we were not shooting at a great time of day or in a prime motion blur location. He offered clear instructions with hands-on assistance, and he demonstrated in addition to observing. Very good combo. Nice small group with interesting participants.

    _"Your Move"- I was strolling around Boston's Chinatown and really enjoying the atmosphere. I came across a park where many people were playing card games, chess, and checkers. I photographed several interesting characters and noticed a duo that caught my attention. The gentleman on the right had made a move and was waiting for his friend to make his next move. This scene caught my eye because of the intense energy they shared. The gentleman on the left had a confident look after making his move

    Indigo bunting and sunflower blossom. Male Indigo bunting will follow a pattern as they move from one perch to another so I'll spend days in sunflower fields to learn those patterns. Once I do, I'll look for perches that give me an eye-level shot and have interesting backgrounds and foregrounds. In this case, I also waited for overcast skies just before a light rain to take this shot because the light in those conditions softens and saturates colors. As a result, this shot only required minor co

    REFLECTION OF JOY!!It was a magical pre-Christmas evening, a year ago, when I planned a special day out with my little wonder. The city was alive with festive cheer, and we embraced every moment together. We watched the graceful spins at the skating rink, explored the winter fair at Love Park, and laughed our way through a thrilling ride on the Ferris wheel. We savored warm treats, but most importantly, we soaked in the joy of simply being together. This candid moment was captured during one o

    This photo features the greater 'rhea' which is the largest of all South American birds and is related to ostriches and emus. These flightless birds use their long, powerful legs to outrun trouble. Although their large wings are useless for flight, they are used for balance and for changing direction as the bird runs.I took this photo on Saturday afternoon on 26th October whilst visiting Amazon World Zoo Park, situated in Newchurch on the Isle of Wight.
