GET BEYOND SHOOTING IN AUTO MODE
A one day workshop designed for those who wish to develop their skills with the digital camera for more creative and professional looking results.
This workshop is specifically for digital SLR cameras with manual controls.
For more information, and to book your place contact info@midwalesarts.org.uk
For this course you will need a DSLR camera and preferably a tripod.
Richard’s photography career has included commercial commission work alongside various personal projects and contracts with several photo libraries specialising in architecture and music, (AKG, RIBA, Lebrecht, the architectural association). He has had work published in USA, UK, other parts of Europe, and Japan. Richard exhibited at the Architectural Association, London in 1999 and 2000 and, more recently, at The Great Oak Cafe gallery, Llanidloes in 2008 with showings at Silent Voices gallery, Hay-on-Wye, The Gallery, Bishop’s Castle, and a one man show at The Courtyard Gallery, Hereford. Currently, work can be seen at the Maesmawr Gallery, Caersws. Of his work Richard says, “Many aspects within our environment are often taken for granted or overlooked completely. Using the camera as my tool of enquiry, my interest lies in the possibilities revealed by close observation of the landscape and its components. The ordinary, on closer inspection, can become the extraordinary.” |
