Black  White Portraits Outdoors Class

Black White Portraits Outdoors Class

Saturday 24 May
St. George's Rd, Truro - 11am - 3 Hours
Cornwall Photography Group
Caleb Williams
Learn how to use natural light to advantage when working on outdoors black white portraits. The old master painters had a special word - chiaroscuro - meaning 'light-dark' for the dramatic quality of shadow in portraits. This concept, as it relates to black white portraiture, will be fully explained. The importance of 'catch lights' in eyes 'bokeh' for dreamy, soft backgrounds will also be addressed, as will the advantage of shooting in 'open shade'. Portraits will be taken with black and white conversion in mind, but can also be enjoyed in colour as well. Come along and discover how to add mood, artistry and drama to your outdoor portraits.

Newlyn Boats  Bays Photography Walk  Workshop

Newlyn Boats Bays Photography Walk Workshop

Sunday 06 July
Newlyn, Penzance - 11:30am - 3 Hours
Cornwall Photography Group
Caleb Williams
This three hour workshop is centred on the old fishing village of Newlyn, with its docks, piers and still working fishing fleet. Newlyn's special light is one of the reasons it became home to an important art colony many years back. We will explore the granite lanes of this seafaring community as well as boats at rest on the water, with their reflections, patina and rust. The busy harbour area full of piled fish crates, ropes and buoys offers many photographic subjects. You will experiment with composition, leading lines and the rule of thirds and be encouraged to think about complementary colours and abstract details. Camera settings for different types of light and subject matter will be provided. This workshop is for lovers of photography as well as all those who also enjoy walking and conversation by the sea"

Winter Light Photography

Winter Light Photography

Saturday 06 December
Truro - St George's Rd. - 11am - 3 Hours
Cornwall Photography Group
Caleb Williams
Nature has something to offer in every season. In the winter its the stark poetry of trees, the soft light, and the atmospheric shapes of clouds. Winter allows us to compose our images thoughtfully. Shadows and glimmers, the mulch of fallen leaves, the texture of a bare branch: all these things can become strong compositions. This workshop will provide deeper understanding of aperture, iso and shutter speed as we experiment with different styles of shooting. We will create a landscape 'story' - composed from still-life and large ensemble elements. Come and enjoy a photography walk in crisp winter air and experience this magical season in the park.

My wife suggested I should do a painting with bluebonnets in it. I used a composite of pictorial reference but decided to keep it loose and expressive.

I have several Magnolia trees in my yard and this is one of the flowers from this years blooms. The mockingbird is straight out of my imagination, and the combination of it with the flower gives the viewer a taste of spring in the South.

The lovely colours represent the strengths, love, fa
