City Projects

Upcoming City Projects: London 27 - 29 April

The global theme for 2011/2012 is ‘Portraits of a City‘.

The City Projects are an on going WPO programme, designed to connect enthusiastic and professional photographers with a global project. WPO only arranges workshops led by established professional photographers, such as Jez Coulson and Nick Turpin, each of whom interpret the theme with their own unique brief and style.

The Schedule

Day 1: Introductory Seminar and Workshop - the technical bit!

In a 3-4 hour masterclass the workshop leader will deliver the brief to the participants. The workshop leader will then discuss technical and creative approaches; exploring light and composition, location scouting and subject matter.

Day 2: Independent Shooting - the creative bit!

The participants will go solo and use the knowledge gained from the masterclass to execute their assignments on the streets. The workshops leader will be at 'base camp' for part of the day, should participants wish to return to get further advice and feedback. 

Day 3: Editing and Critique - the post production bit!

Each participant will have a one-on-one, 45 minute editing session with a professional editor on Adobe Lightroom Software, teaching you how to get the most out of your photography in post-production. A commended image will be chosen for display and review during a group discussion led by the workshop leader.
