About this event
- 3 hours
Through a mixture of discussion, inspiring visual material and both group and solitary activities, this workshop, led by photographer and lover of walking Kat Gollock, will guide you on how to creatively document the world around you through photographs and words.
Although there will be advice on the more technical side of photography and photographic techniques throughout, this session is more about creativity and inspiring thought and discussion through the act of walking and photographing. For beginners and beyond, feel free to bring cameras, camera phones, iPads, 35mm, box brownies, and anything else that captures an image.
