PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP – VISUALISING THE ENVIRONMENT
Photographic images shape perceptions and the ways we understand the environment.
This highly interactive three-day workshop explores a wide range of environmental themes through illustrated seminar, active discussion, constructive image critique, and a practical field trip. It goes beyond the literal representations of ‘nature photography’ to address the thought processes behind creating compelling and meaningful environmental images.
Through discussion of your own research, we’ll explore various ways to develop observational, sensory and creative skills, to improve the impact and interpretative power of your images.
Where do aesthetics, environmental history and photography converge?
How can we develop visual concepts to express ideas that do not necessarily translate to words?
And how can we visualise environmental issues such as climate change that are often abstract and insidious?
The workshop is suitable for people with all levels of environmental knowledge and photographic skill (although participants would be expected to know how to operate their cameras/phones). Travel and accommodation costs are covered by the RCC:
