Still-Life & Floral in Miniature – Close-Up Photography – Welshot Creative Hub Llandudno
Still-Life & Floral in Miniature – Close-Up Photography – Welshot Creative Hub Llandudno
Do you love still-life photography? Do you love floral photography? No room for the big studio set-ups or space to house those larger props? Then this event is going to be perfect for you! The idea for this Welshot, Still-Life and Floral Photography in Miniature event was born from a visit of some friends to Anglesey in North Wales – the weather was too bad for any of the nature photography they’d hoped for but they’d packed their car with all manner of props, backdrops, fabric and flowers – all of the miniature (think Dolls House) size. Once you’ve picked your props, it’s time to learn how to style and compose your photo – from using natural light to continuous photographic lighting this is the perfect indoors table top photographic project.
Welshot will supply the flowers, backdrops, the lighting and the team will help you to compose – in miniature! Using close-up photography techniques, you could even use your macro lenses if you want. There will be a mountain of props, from ribbons and flowers, to paper and pens, in fact, all the normal props you’d come to expect at a Welshot Still-Life, Floral and Creative workshop – only this time it will all be in miniature!
Please make sure you look at Helen’s work, it is simply superb and it will give you a much better understanding of the sort of images you will be making – Got a certain idea you’d like to try? Maybe you even have the props – bring them along, we’d love to help you make some beautiful images for your photographic portfolio.
