One Photo One Story

Building from last weeks session and the group's interest in dramatic photography ...
this week we set about taking some staged photographs to tell just one story.
We looked at some simple camera functions: flash, no flash & changing the exposure before starting our happy snapping.
Today's Theme: One Photo One Story.

Some people focused on facial expressions, some photos ended up with no face at all. Others constructed scenes with different characters, each with their own emotion, action or intention. We explored, played, took heaps of snaps and then projected them onto a large screen to take a closer look. After chatting, re-framing and seeing them large-scale, we could see what was needed to get the message across in each photograph. Ahhh...the learning process. Now 2 weeks holiday to let some of those ideas simmer away. Next Workshop is the 7th October... stay tuned.
