You may already have an idea for something you’d like to photograph, so how do you set about turning this idea into a personal project and a striking body of work that will showcase your photography? It sounds easy, but if you just pick up your camera and start shooting without a plan or clear direction you’ll inevitably hit problems that you could have foreseen and avoided.
The investment of time you put into planning and developing the project from the beginning, and importantly before you start shooting, is vital. It will not only save you time and frustration when you’re shooting but also lead to a more coherent set of images and a stronger visual story.
In this workshop we’ll take an in-depth look at everything from the initial project idea, developing a project plan, trying to anticipate and pre-empt the possible problems you may encounter – both conceptual and practical. We’ll look at different approaches to shooting and explore how you can use these to enhance and improve your images and visual story. We’ll think through how to execute it to put together a set of images that not only shows your skill as a photographer but also showcase your vision. T0 finish, we’ll look at how you get your project and images to be seen by a wider audience.
