Photographic Workshop by Tracey Derrick

About the workshop
The Into the Light workshop is aimed at helping you to take better photographs with your digital camera. During the course of five two-hour sessions we will explore how a camera works and its relationship to light and the means to control it. We concentrate on basic composition, lenses, angles, movement and ‘the decisive moment’. Students will shoot and consolidate a personal documentary project under Tracey’s direction. Printed images will be required for a final consolidation.
