Dickensian Photography Workshop and Walk

This one day photography workshop examines the city sights that inspired the great Victorian author and sustained his lifelong fascination with the great metropolis. Suitable for photographers of all levels, the day will be led by professional photographer Andrea Artz, whose work is exhibited in the Charles Dickens Museum. The morning begins with the opportunity for a self-guided visit of the Museum at 48 Doughty Street, the only remaining London home of Dickens, and therefore an inspirational starting point. Participants will meet Andrea in the Museum for a brief introduction to the course at 13:30 before embarking on a bespoke walk taking in a variety of Dickens locations. What you can expect from the day: A more in depth understanding of the history connected with each Dickens location you visit A combination of demonstration and practical exercises An introduction on how to use your camera on Manual Mode including metering, ISO, f/stop, shutter speed, focus and white balance. Tips on composition, including: rule of thirds, perspective, orientation, framing, decisive movement, use of colour and line, choice of lens, use of light Assistance with use of cameras for beginners or those with new equipment and a more in depth approach for those with established photography skills Bespoke advice and feedback for each individual and recommendations for further reading
