About the Event

What makes a good image and how do we achieve it?

We speak through images by "The Shot" and there are two major components to this: 1. Composition and Movement, 2. Photographic Elements.

In this workshop, we will unveil the first part of "The Shot".

We will familiarize ourselves with some key principles of framing (frame shape, camera distance, angle, level, etc.) by learning the terminology and analyzing examples with it. The latter part of the workshop will be dedicated to the basics of lighting, namely 3-point lighting, contrast, and qualities of light. This workshop is open to anyone who is interested in photography or videography regardless of their level of experience.
