Monochrome Photography Workshop: American Photographs (afternoon)

Led by photographer Jasprit Singh, this hands-on session for DSLR and Mirrorless camera users will begin with an introduction to key works from the display. Jasprit will guide you through the themes and techniques used by photographers such as Diane Arbus, Gordon Parks and William Eggleston— with a particular focus on the evocative art of monochrome photography. You’ll learn how to use light, contrast and composition to create striking black-and-white images—and pick up practical tips to enhance your approach behind the lens.

You’ll then be given a creative photography task to complete in your own time, drawing on the ideas and inspiration from the session. Three weeks later, you'll submit your chosen monochrome photograph to Jasprit and the workshop will culminate in a friendly online photography critique session where your work will be shared with the group providing an opportunity to reflect on each other’s images and receive feedback.

This event is suitable for DSLR and mirrorless camera users with basic-intermediate knowledge of their equipment. Please bring your camera along to the workshop as there will be some short practical tasks on the day.

The photography critique session will be held on Zoom on Friday 17 October (16:00-17:00). If you are unable to join us for this session a recording will be shared with you.
