Lambeth Schools Portrait Workshops
Session
aims and objectives
- To offer skills-based learning in photography.
- To enable participants to develop and express their creativity,
and explore issues around portraiture and identity.
- To produce portraits of themselves and/or each other, using composition
and lighting to help them represent themselves and each other in
the way they want.
-
To provide the school with photographs that they can display, in
order to give them a sense of achievement, and to offer them a means
of expressing their creative ideas in a public space.
By the end of the
course, participants will be able to:
- Visually recognise the use of certain key techniques
in a photograph (angle, type of lighting, focus, composition, etc) and
understand some
of the effects that these techniques can produce.
- Understand what a portrait is, and understand some of the different
approaches a photographer could take to creating a portrait.
- Focus an SLR camera and understand the basis of how exposure works.
-
Take a photograph with an SLR, using the techniques of composition
and lighting that they have learned.
