Old Portsmouth

January to March 2017 Photography Walkshops Now Available

Time has flown when it comes to our Photography Walkshops, we began in June 2015 and between then and now we have had 40 at locations in Portsmouth & Southsea and at other locations along the south coast. All in all we’ve had almost 400 people come along and get involved. We’ve had a particularly amazing summer, autumn and winter and now can announce new walkshops dates for the start of 2017.

Through Strong Island Media we have delivered photography workshops over the last 5 years to over a thousand people of all ages and abilities across the south coast. Working with organisations like Chichester Harbour Conservancy, University of Portsmouth, Making Space, Hampshire Cultural Trust plus many schools and youth groups. Over time we’ve developed ‘Walkshops’, where rather than sitting down in a classroom you actively learn different photography skills and techniques out and about with your camera, with support from a professional photographer. These workshops involve a leisurely 2 hour walk with fun & creative photo activities allowing you to find out much more about your camera and how to get the best out from it in the future. We look at composition, perspectives, textures, leading lines, creating narrative and also how to take control of aperture and shutter speed plus much more.

To get involved all you have to do is bring along your camera to take part. It can be anything from a digital compact through to an SLR and if you want to shoot 35mm film, cool! If you don’t have your own camera we have a selection of digital compacts you are free to borrow for the workshop (please let us know in advance). We can even offer 35mm SLRs for you to use if you like. Even if you just bring along your cameraphone you’ll learn loads that’ll make a big difference to your mobile photography.

All walkshops are still only £10 and are booked online, with payment then via PayPal or cash on the day.
