    Scope

During lunch, your images will be processed, finishing the session back at the Leica Akademie for a group discussion and photography review.

    Various techniques will be discussed in detail, including advice on film choice, choosing the right film for the photo opportunity, how to use the camera meter and its various aspects, such as exposure compensation and exposure lock. Depth-of-field and hyperfocal distance focusing are alternative techniques to achieve sharp results, and these processes are also outlined in depth.

    There is a maximum of six attendees at each workshop, to ensure that all participants get the most from the experience.

Leica S System

• Introduction to Leica S2

  • Introduction to Leica S2
    The Leica S2 combines DSLR-style handling with medium-format image quality, resulting in a camera that delivers stunning results both on location and in the studio. Try this outstanding camera system for yourself, with professional portrait photographer, Ian Farrell, at the Leica Studio-S.

Combined with the impressive resolving power of Leica’s legendary lenses, the Leica S2 delivers images that really have to be seen to be believed.

    Leica S-System photographer, Ian Farrell, provides a comprehensive introduction to medium-format photography, focusing on the S2 specifically. You have the chance to use the camera in either a controlled studio environment or out in the street, and to take home a selection of RAW files to study at your leisure.

Creative Photography

• Pictures for Profit

  • Seeing your photographs into print is a great ego boost and it can earn you money, too! Hosted by photo magazine editor and professional photographer Will Cheung, this half-day workshop is aimed at photographers who aspire to see their work published, particularly in the photographic magazine market.

    Scope
    Magazines have an insatiable appetite for images and editors are always on the lookout for photographic talent. However, editorial photography is fiercely competitive, so it helps to understand what an editor requires to stand a chance of your work being selected.

    This workshop will help you identify the magazine’s needs and the process of how to submit images. Before that, however, you must produce work of a sufficiently high aesthetic standard with suitable content, and images should be of an appropriate technical level. These key points are covered in this workshop and attendees are encouraged to bring along examples of their own work for a critical appraisal by our expert.

    Photographic competitions are another method of getting your talent recognised. Not only that, but there are some impressive prizes to be won, too. Our expert will provide advice on how you can enhance your winning chances by understanding what the judges’ expect to see, and shooting images that will stop them in their tracks.

• See the World in Black & White
  • The world is a vibrantly colourful place, but there is something extremely rewarding about producing images in shades of grey. In this half-day workshop our experienced black&white photgrapher, Will Cheung, shows how you can achieve more from your camera by going monochrome.

    Scope
    Successful black & white shooting starts by ‘seeing’ or pre-visualising scenes in a different way from colour photography. It is about understanding lighting, texture, composition and contrast, in order to achieve a thoughtful final result, which will be discussed in detail in this workshop.

    Your chosen method of shooting black & white images is very important. You have the choice of shooting black & white in-camera using the JPEG image quality mode, or you may prefer shooting with your camera’s RAW image format and working on images in the computer. The advantages of both approaches are discussed so you can choose the option that suits you best.

    Whichever technique you decide, our expert will guide you through core Adobe® Photoshop® and Lightroom® techniques to achieve the best black & white results. Techniques discussed include the best method to turn your images to black& white, RAW conversion, adding film grain, using filters,contrast control and using plug-ins.
