Creative Photography with Eleanor Greenwood 4 week course at Craig-y-Nos country park

Creative Photography

A good image is all about composition, telling your story in an image or series of images. How to make the viewer 'read' what you want them to by deciding what to keep in or keep out of your frame. Strong compositions are the foundation of great photography whether you are using a high end DSLR Camera or a smart phone.

Day 1 - Composition, framing, perspective.

None of us work in a creative vacuum and finding photographers whose work you enjoy can help develop your own style. Discussing how a photograph works and what emotions and story it conveys builds on understanding of composition from the previous workshop.
