Make An Impact With Digital Infrared Photography
Wednesday 19 July 2017
Where – Stourhead, Wiltshire
What – Come and gain confidence with IR photography with a tutorial, picture taking and feedback
How much – £79
The aim of the How To Take Better Infrared Photos Workshop is to make participants more aware of the possibilities for using infrared capture. By understanding the where and when, the what, how and why will become clearer.
There is an air of mystery surrounding infrared photography and its other-worldly appearance offers expressive photographers a great number of possibilities. This form of photography is recognised as an art form in its own right since its highly practical uses were discovered in the early twentieth century. The infrared photos that are created with the medium can be quixotic, ghostly, pensive, sentimental or chilling.
You will need to bring an IR converted camera body or, an IR Filter and tripod to use with a camera that sees daylight. See the webpage for more technical information.
