Photographic Seeing Tutorial

Andy will gently introduce you to the ABC of CameraWork method of photographic seeing All the key areas of expressive photography are covered with this method

A Attraction
B Background
C Composition choices
D Depth of field choices
E Exposure choices
F Focus choices
G Gently press the shutter

Picture Taking

Here is the real heart of the photographic seeing workshop, how to select subject matter and compose it into a balanced composition. Andy will show you how he deals with a wide variety of subjects. He will also gently introduce you to the wider aspects of the ABC of CameraWork method of photographic seeing.

Show > Do > Review

If you choose to attend an introduction day, part of my role as the leader will be to ensure that you will forever remember the ABC of camerawork mnemonic. At least once or twice a day Andy will remind the group: A is for..? By doing so the whole group gets to remember the thinking process. Knowledge isn’t knowledge until you own it to use at will in any appropriate situation.

Participant Picture Reviews

During the day your pictures will be reviewed as you take them to ensure that you fully understand how to get the effect you’re trying to achieve. All of us see pictures differently and we can learn from each other by sharing the pictures we have taken. We all see things in our own way and passing around cameras is a good method to pick up the vision and style of others. It is important to say that this is not a competition and you are in the workshop to learn and update skills.

“I found the walk around Bristol docks both interesting and photographically enlightening. You addressed a number of points on differential focus and exposure compensation particularly for me in a simple straightforward manner and I am continuing to study your ABC of Camera Work, which is most helpful.”
