Join The Waiting ListOften as landscape photographers we venture out into the wider surroundings and try to capture the essence of what we see surrounding us. It may be a waterfall cascading through a valley of trees swaying in a stiff breeze, but we often see the landscape as a ‘big’ picture.
Whilst there is nothing at all wrong with this approach, it can soon leave the photographer feeling like many of the photographic opportunities at a location are expended and there is little more to explore, and this workshop aims to open up a plethora of new image opportunities by seeing in a different way.
We can take almost any landscape and compartmentalise it into many more photographs that become cameos of the bigger picture. We do not have to photograph the summit of the mountain where the waterfall begins and have a wide enough angle lens to see its waters flow to the foreground of the frame. We may choose to make an image of the clouds passing the mountain top, or the river patterns at our feet as the water passes by us.
There is so much more to taking photographs that are not literal but say a lot about the environment in which we are photographing. This workshop will show you how to see in a completely different way. You will be leaving your wide angle lenses in the bag and spending your time breaking the view in front of you into many different components, all of which say something about the landscape. When learned, this is an incredibly invaluable skill that can change the way you see the landscape and offer you a completely new way of seeing.
The wide-angle lens is a popular tool for landscape photography, but on this workshop, you will be using your telephoto lenses extensively and will spend your time learning how to distill down further the individual elements of the landscape. Whilst is very enjoyable to go to a classic location and get the picture you have seen so many times, we feel it is even more rewarding to have an image that probably no one has ever seen before which was hidden in the wider view. It may be two branches touching in a woodland, a tree shadow on a meadow floor or the ridges of two mountains as they interact in low evening light, all of which are things that only you have seen and become beautiful expressive images of your communion with the landscape.
This will be a workshop where we take our time, allow our minds to wander and not photograph simply what is in front of us, but what the landscape slowly reveals to us. We are very passionate about this approach to photography so will be there to work with you to show you how to see in this way which will be a revelation.
