Workshop – Multiple exposure or Flash photography (TBD)

Workshop Option 1: The Art of Multiple Exposure

Title: Beyond the Single Frame: Layering Your Creative Vision

Step away from traditional “one-shot” photography and explore the ethereal world of in-camera composites. This workshop is designed for photographers who want to push their creative boundaries and learn how to blend textures, shapes, and moments into a single, cohesive piece of art.

What you will learn:

• The Power of Pre-visualisation: How to “see” a final image before taking the first shot and choose subjects that layer effectively.

• Technical Blending Modes: An overview of Additive, Average, Bright, and Dark blending modes (depending on camera models).

• Balance and Composition: Managing light and dark areas to ensure layers harmonise rather than overlap into a cluttered mess.

• Abstract & Narrative Art: Using multiple exposures to create everything from “ghostly” movement to impressionistic landscapes.

Workshop Option 2: Mastering Flash Photography

Title: Sculpting with Light: Taking Control of the Flash

Flash photography doesn’t have to be intimidating or produce “flat” images. This workshop demystifies artificial light, moving from the basics of flash exposure to the creative art of sculpting a subject. Whether you are interested in portraits or macro work, this session will turn your flash into a powerful creative tool.

What you will learn:

• The Physics of Light: Understanding the Inverse Square Law and how distance affects the intensity and quality of your light.

• Flash vs. Ambient: Learning to balance your flash with existing room light for a natural, professional look.

• The Power of Modification: How to use umbrellas, softboxes, and bounce techniques to soften harsh shadows.

• Off-Camera Techniques: An introduction to using triggers to move the light source away from the camera for more dramatic, three-dimensional results.
