Photographic day workshop

Tales of the riverbank
The South Bank is rich with waterfront images, buildings, people and reflections - a great location to get started.

With a gentle walking pace, we will cover a huge variety of subject matter, iconic landmarks, buskers, human statues and bridges all within the holiday atmosphere of ice creams, cold beers and people wandering in the sun. There may even be sand sculptures on a white sand beach at low tide!

The aim of the day is to help guests to get to grips with any camera functions they are unsure of, give a brief, engaging summary of creative techniques and composition, and then get out and have fun practising and learning to see things in a new way and from different angles.
