Discover the art of still life photography in this immersive workshop at National Camera Exchange! Led by NCE educator and professional photographer Becky Clark-Dullinger, this hands-on session will help you refine your skills as you explore new creative possibilities. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to elevate your technique, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of composition, lighting, and visual storytelling.
We’ll begin with an introduction to the key elements of still life photography, followed by a live demonstration of lighting, composition, and scene styling. After the demo, it’ll be your turn to create! You’ll rotate through multiple shooting stations, including a pre-designed setup to practice lighting and composition, as well as additional stations where you can experiment with different objects and backdrops. Personalized guidance will be available throughout the workshop to help you bring your creative vision to life.
Please Note: This workshop will cover the same material and will have the same format at the Sunday session.
