This workshop combines an adventurous day out shooting around Hampstead Heath with intensive assignments designed to push your photographic work to the next level. In one day participants will focus on producing images for three assignments: a portrait, a short essay and a series. It will be a challenging opportunity to illustrate your experiences within a focused time period, while generating spontaneous ideas and maximising your creative output. During the day there will be time for review and feedback of participants' ideas, along with advice and inspiration for carrying on with a personal project.
