Photography: Capturing Light and Time
Term 1 - Term 4
Photography: Capturing Light and Time
In this hands-on workshop students celebrate the possibilities of creative photography, exploring light and composition to tell stories about time and place. We will look at examples from current exhibitions, along with works acquisitioned from the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award at HOTA to discover how art elements and principles in photography contribute to documenting memory. Using digital cameras and various light sources, students will discover how light and shadow can be manipulated to create dramatic effect and enhance mood in photography. Explore fundamental composition techniques like leading lines, rule of thirds, and negative space to create visually compelling printed images.
