Architecture Photography

Saturday 17 May
Willesborough Rd - 11am - 2 Hours
Ashford Photography Group
Nathanael Lowden
Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Street Photography

Saturday 21 June
High Street - 11am - 2 Hours
Ashford Photography Group
Nathanael Lowden
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.We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

REVIEWS
I enjoyed it. Nina was a good teacher, very patient , Just a shame I was he only one. If you got more interest you should think of an indoor venue. But having said that I did enjoy being outside.

Title or Location: View From Dugout Wells
Located in Big Bend Nat'l Park, TX., Dugout Wells has a working windmill, providing water to the small parcel of desert surrounding it. The view of the Chisos Mountain Range was spectacular on this cool windy morning. I have painted at this spot on several occasions. 10 x 14 watercolor.

Title or Location: Lunch Counter/ Madrid Spain
Went to Spain for 2 weeks a year ago. While thrilled to see the work of Velasquez, Goya, Microsoft and Picasso, it was a treat to be part of everyday life there. This was a scene I photographed at an enormous Farmers Market. The color of the bread caught my eye. Madrilenos have wine with lunch. So civilized.

Title or Location: Calm Waters
This is the first painting I?ve done from my imagination, and my 5th watercolour painting. Done on a drizzly Sunday afternoon in between cooking a family dinner. I wanted to test a set of granulating paints for the first time to see what effects I could get, using only 1 colour granulating paint and Paynes Grey, it?s created quite a moody evening effect. I?m looking forward to learning more about watercolour and developing my skills.

Title or Location: Dallas, TX
Chester was the first pet I owned as an adult he was lost in flooding during a tornado in Oklahoma. I painted this with love, nostalgia, and playfulness in order to recapture the kitten I loved so dearly. He was so impetuous and silly, always looking for adventure. His spirit was, and is, a work of art.
