1 What Will I Learn?
My method of seeing a picture is not about primarily looking for subjects but searching out tones that work together. I am always on the hunt for a light-toned subject with a darker background. Fundamentally as a black and white photographer, I am looking at tone rather than colour.
Strong colour can be a distraction when in the wrong place in a picture. Monochrome photography is an abstraction and simplification that brings art and structure to a confusing world. This tour is not specifically aimed at mono workers but all who want to explore their dark side!
“The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.”
Robert Doisneau – Photographer

Essentially you will discover your ability to embrace the beauty and profundity of shadows. If you are a painter you know the shadows are a vital element of your picture to successfully show off the highlights. Much of my work is based on a very straightforward way of making pictures. Fortunately, for you, this process is made easier at night rather than working in bright daylight. What photographer’s need is a small quantity of light essentially in the right place.
If you are wedded to the idea that all shadows must contain detail then you may be taking technical rather than emotionally driven pictures. Technical excellence does not always provide an emotionally satisfying picture. Are you prepared to try something a little different that may even broaden your horizons?
This nighttime tour of the Bristol Old City is about seeing the beauty of shadows with new eyes. It matters not whether you principally work in colour or mono all are welcome. Come along and have fun with like-minded photographers.
