Dance Photography & Capturing Movement in Camera – Llandudno Academy Evening
Dance Photography & Capturing Movement in Camera – Llandudno Academy Evening
Step into the world of dynamic photography at our Dance Photography and Capturing Movement in Camera at our Photographic Academy Evening held in the Welshot Creative Hub, Llandudno. This session is all about mastering the technique of capturing movement in your photographs—a skill which will elevate your photography and add emotion, energy, and story to your images. Tonight it is about the elegance of dance and movement, capturing it in your camera. Understanding how to photograph movement is a powerful tool in any photographer’s skill set.
Movement can transform a static scene into something full of life, and knowing how to capture it in-camera can make all the difference in your photos. Our talented Welshot Model will be dancing, posing, and moving across the frame, giving you the opportunity to photograph a variety of dynamic shots that will leave you saying “WOW!”
One of the key elements of capturing movement effectively is understanding shutter speed. At this event, you’ll discover how different shutter speeds can be used to create a range of effects—from sharp, crisp action shots to beautifully blurred motion. You’ll also learn how lighting, shutter speeds, and exposure times work together to create compelling, well-exposed images that showcase motion in all its glory.
Whether you’re looking to freeze a fleeting moment or create dramatic motion blur, this workshop will give you the knowledge and hands-on experience to use your camera settings to their full potential. Throughout the evening, you’ll gain practical insight into using studio flash to light your subjects and how to combine artificial lighting with varying exposure times to achieve the perfect shot.
This hands-on session is designed for photographers of all levels who want to push their creative boundaries. With the expertise of our Welshot team and the use of professional studio equipment, you’ll leave with a portfolio of stunning images that demonstrate your newfound ability to capture motion and tell powerful stories through your photography.
Don’t miss this chance to build your skills, challenge your creativity, and take your photography to the next level. We look forward to seeing you at the Welshot Creative Hub for an evening of inspiration and learning.
