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.

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
