∆ Calling PHOTOGRAPHERS! ∆

He’ll help participants explore what catches their attention in a scene, look beyond the first obvious viewpoint, and make more intentional choices about how they photograph it.

Designed for photographers who already understand the basics of their camera and want to develop more confidence in their own way of seeing.

Friday 16th October
1:15pm
90-minute photography session
Perth Creative Exchange – Meeting Room 1

Includes a short practical exercise outside near the River Tay (weather permitting)

Inspired by our upcoming 'Lessons of the Hour' exhibition, this hands-on workshop explores how photography was used to shape identity, tell stories and challenge perceptions.

At Perth Creative Exchange, you'll get the chance to work on both sides of the camera, create your own self-portrait, and learn how to use a traditional wooden plate camera. You'll also be introduced to silver-based photographic processes and uncover the lasting impact these early techniques have had on photography today.
