This is a hands-on workshop focusing on the more creative aspects of photography and aims to develop confidence in creating strong and imaginative photographs through practical sessions. Yoke stresses that you can find interesting, eye catching images everywhere, in the home and going places. ‘It is all in the mind's EYE'.
To begin participants will study images created by well-known photographers as well as work by Yoke Matze with the aim of examining lighting, composition, texture and form to create strong visual images. Time will then be spent taking photographs with Yoke on location in the Piccadilly area before the final session where you will download files onto a laptop for Yoke to give constructive feedback on the work created.
Yoke Matze is one of the founder members of LIP and a very experienced photographer who also works as lecturer and exhibition organiser/curator. Her work is in collections in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands, including: the Museum of London, the Theatre Museum in London, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Prentenkabinet of the University of Leiden, the Municipal Museums in The Hague and Gouda, and in private collections. Since 2002 Yoke has developed an expanding range of creative photographic courses for YM Photography courses London, working with young people preparing for university entry, those who enjoy photography as a creative pastime and those aiming for a professional career.
This workshop would be particularly beneficial for the less confident photographer or the experienced photographer who needs inspiration.
