Composition & Narrative Photography
1/2 Day Workshop

The biggest transformation in your photography is intention and composition. Then we edit your photo, transforming it from ordinary to extraordinary!

Suitable for all mobile devices or dedicated cameras. Editing will be on our phones

 Live ZOOM workshop limited to 5 only 

Do you feel like your photos are missing something - leaving you feeling stuck, underwhelmed and frustrated?

Photography brings you joy and fulfilment and you know you can improve with the right instruction and guidance.

This workshop requires only your smartphone.

You will feel empowered with intentional framing as you design and control the hierarchy of visual elements. The next step to enhancing the viewer experience is mobile photo editing to guide their attention around the image.

First session: 90-minutes:
> Photographic intention;
> Narrative and storytelling; and
> Stronger photo composition 4-step system

Practical activity: Take a break for an hour in-between sessions to undertake your guided practical activity.

Second session: 90-minutes:
> Practical activity discussion and photo feedback;
> Mobile photo editing to enhance the narrative; and
> Q&A session and key takeaways learned

Does every photo need a narrative or story?

No... but Yes! Let me explain...
When you reach for your camera or mobile device, pause to consider the stimulus and reason for taking the photo. This informs some choices - what perspective and angle, how close, what should I include and exclude in the frame. Then the subtleties and the real fun begins. What is the point of fixation, what else do you want the viewer to notice, when 'reading' different parts of the photo in a particular sequence.
