Night Photography Workshop

Gain a deeper understanding of your camera and learn how to capture fantastic images in the dark with this Night Photography Workshop.

With help and guidance from an expert, you’ll learn how to photograph architecture, street scenes, and moving water at night – as well as how to capture light trails from moving vehicles. There’ll be plenty of one-to-one support throughout, and you’ll be shown how to get creative control over your camera, as well as how to use a torch to ‘light paint’ the features you want to stand out.

With a choice of Newcastle, Durham or York city centres, you can take your pick of where you’d like to explore.
