In this workshop we will be discussing as well as capturing photographs and learning how we can use photographs to tell stories. Taking photos and putting them together to tell a story will be the end goal. Through the use of digital photography, be it using a smartphone or DSLR camera, we will be learning how to interpret photos as well as create collections of photographs that our audience can interpret. We will be touching on the basic ideas and concepts of photography like color, composition, framing etc. We will also be exploring ideas like diptychs and triptychs to understand some of the best ways to put a collection together as well as tell a story.
