Why shoot black & white documentary pictures on film in an era of easy digital colour?
Awarding winning news and documentary photographer Russell Boyce will showcase some of his latest social documentary photography and exhibition work so expect to see lots of pictures and have a bit of fun.
He will discuss his story-telling thinking, the work flow from initial idea to exhibition and publication and creative processes including; why use black and white film in preference to digital colour (and when to break that rule); reveal some secrets about composition, line and shapes in a square format and how to ethically take pictures of strangers.
Equally important is that once you have taken a picture or covered a story how to get it seen? Russell will try to address self-promotion, considering exhibition space and sharing content on social media.
