Brighton By Night Photography Walk

Brighton Outdoor Workshop

Aim

In this workshop I will guide you how to capture the magic of Brighton by Night in an explorative and experimental play with Night Photography.

- Have you ever struggled with what kind of settings to use to get those trailing lights?
- Do you want to use light as a brush tool to explode your creativity?

I will introduce you to the basic techniques which we will practise around Brighton and open the way for a whole new world in your creativity.

Along the way, I will be giving you constructive feedback and advice on how to improve your night photography and I will be encouraging you to share your photos with your peers.

All levels welcome
