Engaging the Senses: Photography workshop with Dr Ruth Gibbons and Sebastian J. Lowe
This three-hour intensive and practice-led workshop aims at providing postgraduate students and staff from all disciplines with an extended skill-set in image-making using cellphone cameras. By the end of the workshop, the participants will be able to engage critically with images, learn the basics of framing and taking an image(s), and apply these skills in practical ways. This workshop caters to those wishing to use more image-based methods of enquiry within their fields of expertise.
