Photography Evening Classes

You have been working with John already using large the format camera and have talked about portraiture, identity and how to capture personality on film.

Charlotte will be running 4 weeks of Evening classes ( Mondays - 5 - 7.30pm ) allowing you access to the darkroom, shooting studio and her tuition. Use this time to make yourself familiar with manual camera work, process and equipment, there will be plenty of image based work next year and you need to be expert enough to use the facilities without waiting for a tutor to guide you - basic skills like this are essential in the creative industries.

Your guide brief for these classes is the theme of 'duality' - which is the basic concept of Frankenstein. There are many ways to produce photographic images that convey duality - using double exposure, two negatives, printing twice, using two techniques of approaches - the choice is yours. This brief is about experimentation and discovery - use the time to increase your knowledge and understanding and become more expert at investigating your ideas through the medium of photography.


I have a couple of spare cameras if anyone needs to borrow one - and there are a few more hanging about - and Charlotte is happy to teach you how to make a pin hole camera.
