Photography workshop for artists by Colin Beard


This is a basic workshop in photography for both two dimensional and three dimensional artists looking to use photography as a creative tool and as a means of recording and documenting finished work and work in progress.
The term ‘Photography’ comes from the ancient Greek words, ‘Photos’ and ‘Graphos’ translated as ‘light drawing’. The course teaches students how to take control of their camera to achieve maximum control of light, essential for accurate documentation of artistic work.
Students will be encouraged to take full control of their cameras (as opposed to the camera deciding for them), working with manual settings and selected focal lengths.
The course will also demonstrate effective methods for setting up domestic situations suitable for photographing visual art works of all descriptions to reasonably high standards.
Students should preferably own a SLR camera (a camera with interchangeable lenses), or a range finder (live view) camera with a manual ‘M’ option.
If in doubt contact Colin Beard for advice at colinbeard@optusnet.com.au or 07 5439 9354.
