Course basics:
The Photographic Syntax workshop is designed to unlock the full potential of the modern camera and give participants the knowledge, skill and confidence to make critical, creative decisions at the very point of shooting. It explores what is photographic syntax, how an audience has been conditioned to read this within a photograph and as a photographer how the camera can be used to control it in a predictable manner.
Photographic Syntax - Part one - Sat October 17th 10am – 4pm & Sun October 18th, 2015 10am - 4pm
This workshop covers: exposure, shutter speed, aperture, ISO
While the theory of photographic syntax will be discussed, the workshops will be strongly based on specific, experimental shooting and critical, comparative, analysis. It explores these fundamentals methodically one step at a time through practical application in a relaxed manner.
Who is the workshop for: The workshop is suitable for both beginners and intermediate photographers. If you have ever found the instructions in the camera manual difficult to follow and through habit and convenience reverted to the use of auto settings, this workshop will systematically unlock the potential of each control and give you confidence to unleash your creativity. If you are competent with your camera but have never carried out a range of precise experiments that discovers the camera limits and allows you to compare the visual effects various settings offer, the workshop will allow you to build a strong foundation that inspired shooting decisions can be made from.
What should you bring:
- a digital camera that allows the use of manual settings
- a range of lenses from wide angle to telephoto - a zoom lens will suffice
- sturdy tripod
- a laptop or computer with Photoshop or Light Room
- card-reader or method to transfer files from the camera to the computer
- Lunch to share (tea and coffee provided)
- Variable polarizing neutral density filter
- cable release
