Street Photography Meetup
Saturday 12 October
Hereford Street, Christchurch Central - 9:30am - 2 Hours
Matthew Musson
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.
We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

Architecture Photography
Sunday 02 February
Hereford Street, Christchurch Central - 9:30am - 2 Hours
Matthew Musson
Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.
In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Black and White Photography
Sunday 09 March
Hereford Street, Christchurch Central - 9:30am - 2 Hours
Matthew Musson
The Meet up theme is focused on black and white images. You may think certain photos will benefit from a black and white filter. However truly great black and white photography is all about telling story.
It is about making the subject the whole focus without having colour distract from this. Black and white images are timeless, there is just something about them that makes them so artistic and magical.
-Please make sure your camera has a grey scale mode
